by Nostradamus

VIII.

French.

Sera laissé le feu vif, mort caché,

Dedans les Globes horrible espouventable,

De nuict a classe Cité en poudre lasché,

La Cité a feu, l’ennemy favourable.

English.

The fire shall be left burning, the dead man shall be hid,

Within the Globes terrible and fearful,

By night the Fleet shall shoot against the City,

The City shall be on fire, the enemy shall be favourable unto it.

ANNOT.

The two Verses signifie, that fire shall be hid within Globes, I suppose them to be Granado’s, or a Mine.

The two last Verses signifie, that the Fleet in the Harbour, or near it, shall set the City on fire, and that they shall come out of the Fleet to help to quench the fire, and so shall the enemy be favourable.
