by Nostradamus

By strange Languages Tents shall be set up,

Rivers, Darts, Rennes, Land, and Sea shall quake.

ANNOT.

All the Cities mentioned in the first Verse are seated by the River of Loire, and are threatned here of a sudden change, and that some strangers shall set up their Tents against them, and chiefly at Rennes, there shall be an Earth-quake felt both by Sea and Land.

XXI.

French.

Profonde argile blanche nourrit rocher,

Qui d’un abysme istra l’acticineuse,

En vain troublez ne l’oseront toucher,

Ignorant estre au fond terre argileuse.
