by Nostradamus

Un peu devant changement de Preteur,

Grand Peste & Guerre, Faim & soif sera voir,

Loin ou mourra leur Prince Recteur.

English.

In Luca it shall rain Blood and Milk,

A little before the change of the Magistrate,

A great Plague, War, Hunger and Thirst shall be seen,

A great way off, where their Prince Ruler shall die.

ANNOT.

Luca at present is a strong Town, and a little Common-wealth by it self in Italy, governed by their own Magistrate: That Town is threatned here to see those prodigies mentioned, a little before the change of their Government, besides a great Plague and dearth; as also the death of their chief Magistrate, who shall die far off that Countrey.
