by Nostradamus

XCVIII.

French.

Les Albanois passeront dedans Rome,

Moyennant Langres demipiler affubles,

Marquis & Duc ne pardonnes a l’homme,

Feu, sang, morbilles point d’eau, faillir les blés.

English.

The Albanians shall pass through Rome,

By the means of Langres covered with half Helmets,

Marquess and Duke shall spare no man,

Fire, blood, small Pox, Water shall fail us, also Corn.

ANNOT.

The meaning is, that when the people of Albania lying between the Venetian Territories, and Grecia, shall come to Rome, by the means of a Bishop of Langres, who is a Duke and Peer of France; being covered with half Helmets, a kind of a Cap that they wear in War; then shall be fire, blood, small Pox, and want of Corn.
