by Nostradamus

Et pres des Alpes Coq le ruinera.

English.

In Danubius and the Rhine shall come to drink,

The great Camel, and shall not repent;

The Rhosne shall tremble, and more those of Loire,

And near the Alpes the Cock shall ruine him.

ANNOT.

This foretelleth a great incursion of the Turks into Germany, insomuch that they shall water their Camels in the Rivers of Danubius, and of the Rhyne, to the great terrour of France, wherein those Rivers of Rhosne and Loire are.

But the last Verse, saith the Cock; that is, the French, shall overcome and ruine the Turks, near the Mountains of the Alpes.
