by Nostradamus

XCIV.

French.

Au Port Selyn le Tyrant mis a Mort,

La liberté non pourtant recouvrée,

Le nouveau Mars par vindict & remort,

Dame par force de frayeur honorée.

English.

In the Port Selyn the Tyrant shall be put to death

And yet the liberty shall not be recovered,

The new Mars by vengeance and remorse,

Lady by excess of fear honoured.

ANNOT.

By the Port Selyn, is meant Constantinople, because of several Emperours of the Turks that have been of that name, therefore the intention of this Prophecy, is, that one of the Turkish Emperours shall be put to death at Constantinople, which for all that, shall not recover her liberty. The new Mars, be like he is so called, that shall put him to death by vengeance without remorse. The Lady by excess of fear honoured, may be applied to the present great Sultaness, Mother to this present Emperour of the Turks, who hath hitherto made her self very considerable by a great party, which she hath raised against her Son, to prevent him from putting his Brothers to death, as is usually practised in that Court.
