Auant long temps le tout sera
rangé,
Nous esperons vn siecle bien senestre:
L'estat des masques & des seulz bien changé,
Peu trouueront qu'à son rang vueille estre.
Translation
(Van Berkel, 2002)
Before long all will be set in order,
We will expect a very sinister century.
The state of the masks and solitary ones much changed,
Few will be found who want to be in their place.
Van
Berkel categorizes this quatrain as a millennium
quatrain.
The
first line. According to Nostradamus, everything is set in order at the
beginning of the eighth millennium, the biblical kingdom of one thousand
year, the "golden age" of Saturn. This will happen in 2827.
The century which precedes this millennium, will be disastrous.
The
time span of this quatrain: 2727 - 2827.
In
the Epistle to Henry II, there is a reference to a disastrous period of 25
years which precedes the eighth millennium. That period is the closing
period of the prediction in this quatrain.
