by Nostradamus

XIV.

French.

Le grand credit, d’or, d’argent l’abundance,

Aveuglera par Libide l’honneur,

Cogneu sera d’adultere l’offence,

Qui parviendra a son grand deshonneur.

English.

The great credit, the abundance of Gold and Silver

Shall blind honour by lust,

The offence of the Adulterer shall be known,

Which shall come to his great dishonour.

ANNOT.

This is easie to be understood; for it is frequently seen, that Honour is made blind by lust, and chiefly if that lust be propped up with credit; and abundance of Gold and Silver.
