by Nostradamus

Shall be murdered, and put in the sparks of fire,

Because they had not been sparing of their tongues.

ANNOT.

This is very plain, and signifieth no more, but that some persons that were banished into Islands, and could not hold their tongues; upon the coming of a Monarque, more cruel than his Predecessor, shall be murdered, and burnt.

LX.

French.

Un Empereur naistra pres d’Italie,

Qui a l’Empire sera vendu bien cher,

Diront avec quels gens il se ralie,

Qu’on trouvera moins Prince que Boucher.
