by Nostradamus

XI.

French.

Mer par solaires seure passera

Ceux de Venus tiendront toute l’Afrique,

Leur Regne plus Saturne n’occupera,

Et changera la part Asiatique.

English.

By solaries she shall pass secure,

Those of Venus shall hold all Africa,

Saturn shall hold their Kingdom no longer,

And shall change the Asiatick part.

ANNOT.

This is so obscure in words and sense, that I can judge no more than that it signifies a great change in Africa and Asia, which I suppose is already come to pass by Taffaletta.
