by Nostradamus

XIV.

French.

A Tours, Gien, Gergeau, seront yeux penetrans,

Descouvriront le long de la grande Sereine,

Elle & sa Suite au Port seront entrans,

Combat poussez Puissance Souveraine.

English.

At Tours, Gien, Gergeau, shall be piercing eyes,

Who shall discover along the great Syren,

She and her Attendans shall enter into the Port,

By a fight shall be thrust out the Soveraign Power.

ANNOT.

Tours, Gien, and Gergeau are Cities upon the River of Loire, which is called here the great Syren, because of the length of its course, the meaning then is, that those Cities shall be watchful, and stand upon their guard, and shall fight against a King, which if it hath already come to pass in the Civil Wars, or shall happen hereafter, I cannot affirm.
