by Nostradamus

XIII.

French.

De la Cité Marine & tributaire,

La teste rase prendra la Satrapie,

Chasser sordide qui puis sera contraire,

Par quatorze and tiendra la Tyrannie.

English.

Of the City Maritine and tributary,

The shaven head shall take the Government,

He shall turn out a base man who shall be against him,

During fourteen years he will keep the tyranny.

ANNOT.

This is positive concerning the Cardinal of Richelieu, who made himself Governor of Havre de Grace, called here the Maritine City, and there kept his Treasure, and tyrannised for the space of about fourteen years.
