by Nostradamus

XLIV.

French.

Le procrée naturel d’Ogmion,

De sept a neuf du chemin destourner,

A Roy de longue & amy au my hom,

Doit a Navarre fort de Pau prosterner.

English.

The natural begotten of Ogmyon,

From seven to nine shall put out of the way,

To King of long, and friend to the half man,

Ought to Navarre prostrate the fort of Pau.

ANNOT.

A man needeth a good pair of Spectacles to see through all this, what I understand in it is that this Bastard of Ogmyon, by whom he meaneth the King of France, ought to submit the Fort of Pau to Navarre, and good reason too; for Navarre is the Kingdom, and Pau only the chief Town of one Province of it, called Bearn.
