by Nostradamus

XCIII.

French.

Soubs le terroir du rond Globe Lunaire,

Lors que sera dominateur Mercure,

L’Isle d’Escosse fera un Lumenaire,

Que les Anglois mettra a desconfiture.

English.

Under the Territory of the round Lunary Globe,

When Mercury shall be Lord of the ascendant;

The Island of Scotland shall make a Luminary,

That shall put the English to an overthrow.

ANNOT.

This Prophecie must of necessity be past; for since the union of both Kingdom under one King, such a thing hath not happened, nor is it likely it should be hereafter.
