by Nostradamus

By the Red-hair’d Man the undertaking shall be made.

ANNOT.

The sense of the whole is this, there shall be fourteen Conspirators of one mind, and their Ring-leader, a Red-haired man, who shall be put to death, because their Reprieve could not come timely enough, being hindered by cross winds, and Letters intercepted. I could find no particular things in History concerning this.

VIII.

French.

Combien de fois prinse Cité Solaire,

Seras, changeant les Loix barbares & vaines,

Ton mal s’approche, plus seras tributaire,

Le grand Adrie recouvrira tes veines.
