by Nostradamus

Ne le pourra par la Mer garentir,

Entre deux fleuves craindra main militaire,

Le noir l’Ireux le fera repentir.

English.

His last hand bloody through Alus,

Shall not save him by Sea,

Between two Rivers he shall fear the military hand,

The black and Cholerick one shall make him repent.

ANNOT.

This seemeth to be concerning a bloody man, that had killed one Alus, and sought to save himself by Sea; but was taken between two Rivers, and put to death by the command of one that was a black and Cholerick man.
