by Nostradamus

XCII.

French.

Teste trenchée du vaillant Capitaine,

Sera jettée devant son adversaire,

Son corps pendu de la Classe a l’Antenne,

Confus fuira par rames avent contraire.

English.

The head cut off the valliant Captain

Shall be thrown down before his adversary,

His body hanged at the Sails Yard,

Confused, they shall fly with Oars against the Wind.

ANNOT.

These words are plain enough, though no body can tell whether the thing is past already, or shall come to pass hereafter.
