by Nostradamus

A Child shall be found, Water running through a Sieve,

Nismes to perish by Water, the Market-hall shall fall at Tholouse.

ANNOT.

The ancient Vestals, were a Kind of Religious Virgins in the ancient Romans time, who if they did forfeit their honour, were buried alive in a Cave, with a little Bread and Water, and a Lamp burning, our Author would have, that when a Lamp shall be found lighted with an unquenchable fire, in that place where then their Temple was, that then Nismes (which is a City of Languedoc), shall perish by Water, and the Market-hall of Tholouse shall fall, whether such a Lamp may be contrived as to burn with an unquenchable fire, is too long and tedious a discourse to be disputed here.

Moine, Moinesse d’Enfant mort exposé,

Mourir par Ourse & ravy par verrier,

Par Foix & Panniers le Camp sera posé,

Contre Tholose, Carcas, dresser forrier.
