by Nostradamus

Qu’avint viendra par Babel aux Romains.

English.

One that shall cause the infernal Gods of Hannibal

To live again, the terror of Mankind,

There was never more horror, not to say ill dayes,

Did happen, or shall, to the Romans by Babel.

ANNOT.

This Prophecy was concerning Charles V. Emperour, who sacked Rome, took the Pope Prisoner, and filled it with more horror and slaughter than Hannibal did, though a Heathen.
