by Nostradamus

VII.

French.

Verceil, Milan donra intelligence,

Dedans Tycin sera faite la paye,

Courir par Seine eau, sang, feu par Florence,

Unique choir d’hault en bas faisant maye.

English.

Verceil, Milan shall give intelligence,

In the Tycin shall the Peace be made,

Run through Seine water, blood, fire through Florence,

The only one shall fall from top to bottom making maye.

ANNOT.

Verceil and Milan are two Cities in Italy, the Tycin, or rather Thesin is a River of the same Countrey; Seine is the River that runneth at Paris. Florence is a famous City in Italy, and maye a barbarous word, foisted up to patch up his Rime.
