by Nostradamus

VII.

French.

Tard arrivé, l’execution faite,

Le Vent contrare, Lettres au chemin prinses,

Les Conjurez quatorze d’une Secte,

Par le Rousseau seront les entreprinses.

English.

One coming too late, the execution shall be done,

The Wind being contrary, and Letters intercepted by the way,

The Conspirators fourteen of a Sect,

By the Red-hair’d Man the undertaking shall be made.

ANNOT.

The sense of the whole is this, there shall be fourteen Conspirators of one mind, and their Ring-leader, a Red-haired man, who shall be put to death, because their Reprieve could not come timely enough, being hindered by cross winds, and Letters intercepted. I could find no particular things in History concerning this.
