by Nostradamus

Shall be of Saxony not the new Elector,

From Brunswick shall come a sign of love,

Falsly persuading the people that he is a seductor.

ANNOT.

This Prophecy is concerning an old Elector of Saxony, who being in health before, shall die suddenly, being poisoned in a golden Cup by a woman, whom he calleth here infamous slut.

And that from Brunswick (a Countrey adjacent to Saxony) shall come a Messenger, upon pretence of Love, who shall persuade the people that the said Elector was a Seducer.
