by Nostradamus

XCV.

French.

Lu Loy Morique on verra defaillir,

Apres un autre beaucoup plus seductive,

Boristhenes premier viendra faillir,

Par dons & langue une plus attractive.

English.

We shall see the Morish Law to decline,

After which, another more seducing shall arise,

Boristhenes shall be the first that shall fall,

By gifts and tongue that Law shall be most seducing.

ANNOT.

This foretelleth the declining of the Mahometan Religion, after which another Religion shall be set up worse then the Mahometan. The first decay of it shall begin in Scythia, a Kingdom belonging to the King of Persia, through which runneth the River Boristhenes.
