by Nostradamus

The guilty shall be hidden in a wood in a misty weather.

ANNOT.

By the first Verse is understood an ancient building, which shall be finished and brought to perfection, I suppose it to be the Louvere, which hath been a building in the Reign of seven Kings. But before it be throughly finished, some ruine shall fall upon a great man and kill him; one declared innocent of the fact shall be accused of it after his death, and he that shall be guilty of it shall escape by hiding himself in a Wood in misty weather.

XXXVIII.

French.

Aux profligez de Paix les ennemis,

Apres avoir l’Italie superée,

Noir sanguinaire, rouge sera commis,

Feu, sang verser, eau de sang colorée.
