by Nostradamus

XXV.

French.

La Garde estrange trahira Forteresse,

Espoir & umbre de plus haut mariage,

Garde deceüe Fort prins dedans la presse,

Loire, Saone, Rhosne, Gar, a Mort outrage.

English.

The Garrison of strangers shall betray the Fort,

Under the hope and shadow of a higher Match,

The Garrison shall be deceived, and the Fort taken in the crowd,

Loire, Saone, Rhosne, Gar, shall do harm to Death.

ANNOT.

There is no difficulty but in the last Verse, where you must observe that Loire, Saone, Rhosne, and Gardon, which for the Verses sake is contracted into Gar; are Rivers of France, which are threatned here of overflowing, and causing the death of many people.
