by Nostradamus

Et feront pres du Pont Antony pose,

Sept pour la paix cauteleux comme Martres,

Feront entrée d’Armée a Paris clause.

English.

From Bourg la Reyne they shall come straight to Chartres,

And shall make a stand near Pont Antony,

Seven for Peace as crafty as Martres,

They shall enter in Paris besieged with an Army.

ANNOT.

Bourg la Reyne is a little town within six Miles of Paris, Chartres is the chief City of the Province Beausse, Pont Antony is a little Town between them both, so that the sense of the whole is this, that seven men, crafty like Martres (which are those Russia Foxes that afford the richest Furres, called Martres Zibellines) shall go from Bourg la Reyne to Chartres, making a little stay at Pont Antony, and then shall come with an Army into Paris, which shall be besieged at that time, I believe this Prophecy is come to pass already in the time of the Civil Wars of France; but for want of the History I could not quote the time.
