by Nostradamus

XCIII.

French.

Dans Avignon tout le Chef de l’Empire,

Fera arrest, pour Paris desole,

Tricast tiendra l’Annibalique ire,

Lion par change sera mal consolé.

English.

In Avignon all the Chief of the Empire,

Shall stay, by reason of Paris being desolate,

Tricast shall stop the Annibalik anger,

Lion by change shall be ill comforted.

ANNOT.

The first and second Verse signifie, that the Pope once more shall keep his seat in Avignon, which is a Town in France belonging to the Pope, and where formerly they kept their See, for the space of above an hundred years. As for the word Tricast, there must be a foul errour in the impression or else; I must confess I understand it not. By the Annibilik anger, is meant those of Barbary, where Annibal was born. Lion is a famous Town in France, where is kept the greatest trading for Bills of Exchange.
