The true prophecies or prognostications of Michael Nostradamus, physician to Henry II. Francis II. and Charles IX. Kings of France, and one of the best astronomers that ever were. / A work full of curiosity and learning. Translated and commented by Theophilus de Garencieres, Doctor in Physick Colleg. Lond.

by Nostradamus

Le Soleil lors en exaltation.

English.

The Purveyor shall put all in disorder,

Leech and Wolf, do ye hearken to me,

When Mars shall be in the Sign of Aries,

Joyned with Saturn, and Saturn with the Moon,

Then shall be thy greatest misfortune,

The Sun being then in its exaltation.

ANNOT.

This is plain, if you remember that by the Purveyor is meant the King of France, by the Leech the King of Spain, and by the Wolf the Duke of Savoy.
