by Nostradamus

VII.

French.

Le grand conflict qu’on appreste a Nancy,

L’Æmathien dira tout je soubmets,

L’Isle Britane par Vin Sel en solcy,

Hem. mi. deux Phi. long temps ne tiendra Mets.

English.

A great War is preparing at Nancy,

The Æmathien shall say I submit to all,

The British Island shall be put in care by Salt and Wine,

Hem. mi. two Phi. shall not keep Mets long.

ANNOT.

Nancy is the chief City of Lorrain, and by the Æmathien is understood the French, the British Isle is England, which is said here, shall come into great distress by Salt and Wine, because the Countrey aboundeth in those two Commodities. The last Verse I do not understand, save that Mets is a great City in Lorrain.
