by Nostradamus

The little great persevereth too far,

Noise of Arms in the Skie, the Ligustrian Sea made red.

ANNOT.

I could scrape no sense out of the first three Verses; the last signifieth, that a noise of Arms shall be heard in the Skies, and that the Ligustrian Sea, which is that of Genoa, shall be made red with blood, when the former prodigy hath appeared.

LXXXVI.

French.

Naufrage a classe pres d’Onde Adriatique,

La Terre tremble emeue sur l’Air en Terre mis

Ægypt tremble augment Mahometique,

L’Heraut soy rendre a crier est commis.
