by Nostradamus

XXXVIII.

French.

Le Sol & l’Aigle Victeur paroistront,

Response vain au vaincu lon asseure,

Par Cor ne cris, harnois narresteront,

Vindicte paix, par Mort lacheve a l’heure.

English.

The Sun and the Eagle shall appear to the Victorious,

A vain Answer shall be made good to the vanquished,

By no means Arms shall not be stopped,

Vengeance maketh Peace, by death he then accomplisheth it.

ANNOT.

This Stanza being full of Figures and Equivoques, I will not interpose my Judgement in it, lest I undertake too much, and perform too little.
