by Nostradamus

English.

The captive Prince vanquished in Italy,

Shall pass by Sea through Genoa to Marseilles,

By great endeavours of forrain forces overcome,

But that a Barrel of Honey shall save him from the fire.

ANNOT.

A Prince vanquished in Italy, and taken Prisoner shall come through Genoa to Marseilles, where he shall be once more overcome by strangers, but that a Barrel of Honey shall save him from being burnt. This is the sense of the words as near as I can judge, the judicious Reader may make what construction he pleaseth upon them.
