by Nostradamus

Plus aux Rochers, qu’aux vivans viendra nuire,

Par langue ornée d’oreille rassasie.

English.

He that shall have charge to destroy,

Churches and Sects, changed by fancy;

Shall do more harm to the Rocks, than to the living,

By a smooth tongue filling up the Ears.

ANNOT.

As the words of this Stanza are plain, so is the sense most obscure, and so to be left to the Readers private Judgement.
