by Nostradamus

From the round of a Lilly shall be born a great Prince,

Soon and late come into his Province,

Saturn in Libra being in exaltation,

The House of Venus in a decreasing strength,

A Woman afterwards and a Male under the Bark,

To maintain the happy blood of Bourbon.

ANNOT.

This Prophecy was concerning Lewis the XIII. King of France, son of Henry the IV. who was born under the Sign of Libra, and therefore called the Just; the rest is easie.
