by Nostradamus

XLIV.

French.

Par lors qu’un Roy sera contre les siens;

Natif de Blois subjuguera Ligueres,

Mammel, Cordube, & les Dalmatiens,

Des sept puis l’ombre a Roy estrennes & Lemures.

English.

At that time that a King shall be against his own,

One born at Blois shall subdue the Ligures,

Mammel, Cordua and the Dalmatians,

After that the shadow of the seven shall be to the King a new-years gift and Hoggoblins.

ANNOT.

Blois is a City in France; Ligures are the Genoeses, in Latine called Ligures; as for Mammel I cannot tell what to make of it; Cordua is a City of Spain, and the Dalmatians is a Nation near the Adriatick Sea, and under the Venetians; I leave the interpretation of the last Verse to the ingenious Reader.
