by Nostradamus

XXVIII.

French.

Le bras pendu & la jambe liée,

Visage pasle, au sein poignard caché,

Trois qui seront jurez de la meslée,

Au grand de Genes sera le Fer lasché.

English.

The arm hanging, and the leg bound,

With a pale face, a Dagger in the bosom,

Three that shall be sworn to the fray,

To the great one of Genoa the Iron shall be darted.

ANNOT.

This manifestly foretelleth a conspiracy of three men against the Duke of Genoa, one of which three men, under the shew of a sore Arm, and an impotent Leg, shall carry a Dagger in his bosom, with which he shall stabb the said Duke.
