by Nostradamus

XXXIII.

French.

Hercules Roy de Rome & Dannemark,

De Gaule trois Gayon surnommé,

Trembler l’Itale & l’un de Saint Marc,

Premier sur tous Monarque renommée.

English.

Hercules King of Rome, and Denmark,

Of France three Guyon surnamed,

Shall cause Italy to quake and one of St. Marck,

He shall be above all a famous Monarch.

ANNOT.

All these intricated words and sense foretell that, when a King of Danmarck named Hercules shall be made King of the Romans, that then Italy and Venice it self shall stand in great fear of him; and that he shall be as great a Prince or Monarch as ever was in Europe; and that very likely, for by his dignity of King of the Romans he consequently shall attain to the Empire.
