by Nostradamus

XXIII.

French.

Le Roial Sceptre sera contraint de prendre,

Ce que ses Predecesseurs voient engagé,

Puis a Laigneau on fera mal entendre,

Lors qu’on viendra le Palais saccager.

English.

The Royal Scepter shall be constrained to take

What his Predecessors had morgaged;

After that, they shall mis-inform the Lamb,

When they shall come to plunder the Palace.

ANNOT.

This is obvious to every body’s capacity.
