by Nostradamus

The Sicilian Nizaram shall see himself in great honours; that is, the Sicilian Nizarim, for Nizaram, is the Annagramme of Mazarin, letter for letter, who was born in Sicily, shall see himself in great honours, as he did; for he was then in his greatest splendor.

But after that he shall fall into the dirt of a Civil war; As every one knows he did, having put in Prison the Prince of Condé, the Prince of Conty, and the Duke of Congueiulle, can any thing be more plain, and yet when I read this forty years ago, I took it to be ridiculous.

Lutece en Mars, Senateurs en credit,

Par une nuict Gaule sera troublée,

Du grand Cræsus l’Horoscope predit,

Par Saturnus, sa puissance exillée.

Lutetia in Mars, Senators shall be in credit.
