by Nostradamus

Hide the greenness with leaves Butter-flye.

ANNOT.

There is nothing hard here but the last Verse, whereby it is signified, that after such an incest of the Mother with the Son in the City of Tours (which is a Town in France) the fruit of it shall be secretly buryed, and green Turfs laid upon the place, and Leaves upon them, to take away the knowledge of it.

LXXVI.

French.

Plus Macelin que Roy en Angleterre,

Lieu obscur ne par force aura l’Empire,

Lasche, sans foy, sans loy, seignera Terre,

Son temps s’aproche si presque je souspire.
