by Nostradamus

XLIII.

French.

Le trop bon temps, trop de bonté Roiale,

Faits & desfaits prompt, subit, negligence,

Leger croira faux, despouse loiale,

Luy mis a mort par sa benevolence.

English.

The time too good, too much of Royal bounty,

Made and unmade, nimble, quick, negligence,

Fickle shall believe false o’ his loyal Spouse,

He shall be put to death for his good will.

ANNOT.

This is concerning another King, who through his too much goodness, simplicity and negligence, shall make and unmake those about him, and being fickle, shall believe false reports, made concerning his own wife; and at last by his to much goodness, shall be put to death.
