by Nostradamus

XLIII.

French.

Long temps sera sans estre habitée,

Ou Siene & Marne autour vient arrouser,

De la Thamise & Martiaux tentée,

Deceus les gardes en evidant repousser.

English.

A great while shall be unhabited,

Where Seine, and Marne comes to water about,

Being attempted by the Thames and Martial people,

The Guards deceived in thinking to resist.

ANNOT.

By the two first Verses, he meaneth without doubt the City of Paris, for it is watered by those two Rivers the Seine and Marne, that joyn together at the head of it, but how this City should become unhabited is the great question, and chiefly by the means here alledged, viz. of the English signified by the Thames, and other Martial people, the Guards deceived in thinking to repulse the enemy.
