Kings of France, and one of the best astronomers that ever were. / A work full of curiosity and learning. Translated and commented by Theophilus de Garencieres, Doctor in Physick Colleg. Lond.

by Nostradamus

Puits & Fontains de poison arrousées,

Au Fort de Genes humains devorateurs.

English.

Under the fained colour of seven shaven heads,

Shall divers spies be framed,

Wells and Fountains shall be sprinkled with poison,

In the Fort of Genoa shall be humane devourers.

ANNOT.

The three first Verses belong to the same sense; viz. that seven men shall be spies, under pretence to be Priests or Monks, (which is the meaning of the shaven heads) and shall poison the Wells and Springs.

The last Verse signifieth that in the Fort of Genoa, their shall be devourers of men, that is, Usurers and Extortioners, which is no new thing in that Nation.
