by Nostradamus

By secret fires, many places shall be burnt with heat,

There shall be scarcity of Rain, hot Winds, Wars, in-roads.

ANNOT.

This is the Prognostication of a mighty dry season, and other accidents that shall happen when Saturn and Mars shall be in a fiery disposition, which whether it be by Opposition, Conjunction, Aspect, &c. Let the Astrologers judge.

French.

En l’an bien proche non esloigné de Venus,

Les deux plus grands de l’Asie & d’Affrique,

Du Rhine & Ister qu’on dira sont venus,

Cris, pleurs a Malthe, & coste Ligustique.
