PAU, NAY, LORON plus feu qu'a sang sera.
Laude nager, fuir grand au surrez.
Les agassas entree refusera.
Pampon, Durance les tiendra enferrez.
Pau and Nay are towns in the France, though there is also a Pau in Spain. I can, however, find no place reference for Loron anywhere in the world. Still, the French character of the quatrain is quite apparent. Also, the fact that Nostradamus capitalized all three words indicates they are of great importance.
Pau Nay Loron can be rearranged into Nay Pau Loron, which sounds very much like Napoléon, the Corsican who rose to become the sole ruler of France for a number of years. Napoléon was a fiery, warlike person, not one of the royal blood of Hugh Capet, as the first line indicates. The great of line 2 are the nobility, who fled the governments of France, even while Napoléon gained tremendous praise. The worried were the leadership of the National Assembly and its successors; they refused entry to the nobility and to anyone they suspected of doing wrong. The cities of the last line are in France.
Cordon & Aux & autour de Mirande
Je voy du ciel feu qui les environne.
Sol Mars conjoint au Lyon puis marmande
Fouldre, grand gresle, muit tombe dans Garonne.
The second line which is strongly indicative of nuclear weapons places this quatrain in the present or the future. The third line gives an astrological conjunction that occurs every couple of years while the fourth line seems to indicate a futuristic electric weapon of terrible power. Marmande is located along the Garonne river. Lasers, based on the same electromagnetic principle as lightning, are becoming a reality as weapons of war, so the time of the fulfillment of this quatrain is fast approaching. Mirande is not far away from Marmande while Cordon is south of Geneva. All of the cities mentioned are in France.
Au fort chasteau de Viglanne & Resviers
Sera serré le puisnay de Nancy :
Dedans Turin seront ards les premiers,
Lors que de dueil Lyon sera transy.
Nancy and Lyons are in France, while Turin is in Italy. I cannot find Vigilanne or Resviers. Edger Leoni thinks it refers to “San Vigiloi and the Riviera,” though he admitted that “Rubbiera and Vignola” as well as “Vigevano and Revera” were possibilities. My sorrow goes to the youngest of Nancy.
Dedans Monech le coq sera receu,
Le Cardinal de France apparoistra
Par logarion Romain sera deceu
Foiblesse à l’aigle, & force au coq naistra.
The traditional translation of Foiblesse is weakness and most commentators translate it this way. However, Foiblesse has a secondary meaning, a preference or liking for something, not a weakness in and of itself but a preference that can be a weakness if used to the exclusion of all else. When viewed this way, the quatrain becomes quite clear.
Monaco is a tiny principality along the southern shores of France, not far from Italy. Today is is a small strip of land, but in the past, before the French Revolution, it was much larger.
There have been two literal Cardinals of France. The first was Richelieu, the second was Mazarin. Both were hated by the French nobility and common people, though they were supported by the king and did serve to strengthen royal power. The cock refers to the military power of the French, and while the Eagle could be the Hapsburgs, it indicates quite strongly the time of Napoléon and the Empire.
This has to refer to the time when France conquered Monaco during the French Revolution. The Cardinal of France would in this case be Robespierre, who not only created the Cult of Reason, but became a defacto third Cardinal of France when he created the Cult of The Supreme Being. This saw the rise of the military power of France during the First Republic a power that would become the foible of the Empire (Eagle) with ultimately disasterous results for Napoléon.
The only question is Logarion. It is most likely Napoléon, but he was not in the business of deceiving anyone. Because of that, it could be Talleyrand, Napoléon’s Foreign Minister who was a master of deception.
Apparoistra temple luisant orné,
La lampe & cierge à Borne & Bretueil.
Pour la lucerne le canton destorné,
Quand on verrale grand coq au cercueil.
The great cock is Napoléon, probably the greatest warrior France has ever produced. The cock is traditionally the ancient symbol of the military might of France, so that the great cock would be Napoléon is quite understandable.
In 1840, Napoléon’s corpse was moved from Elba to a cupola in St Jérôme's Chapel. In 1861, his corpse was moved from the cupola to his final resting place in the tomb in Les Invalides. It is this time period that the quatrain was fulfilled.
In 1848, while Napoléon’s corpse laid in the cupola, the Swiss Constitution was accepted. This document unified the cantons of Switzerland under a Federal system, where the Cantons enjoyed autonomy so long as they did not interfere with the new Federal system. Lucerne is the capital of the Canton of Lucerne (Kanton Luzern).
The same year saw the French Revolution of 1848. There are multiple Borne’s and Breteuuil’s in France – here they stand for all of France. The lamp, the candle and the temple refer to the liberty seen by the establishment of the Second French Republic. It also refers to the emergence of Louis Napoléon as president of the republic.
Charte fulgure à Lyon apparente
Luisant, print Malte subit sera estainte,
Sardon, Mautis traitera decepvante,
Geneve à Londes à coq trahison fainte.
Burning charter appears in Lyons,
Shining, Malta is taken, abruptly will be extinguished.
Lyons, Sardon and Mautis are in France.
This can only refer to the times of the French Revolution and afterwards. The shining charter is the justly renown Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen, the shining document that came out of the early turmoil of the French Revolution. However the shining document was shunted aside in the search for martial glory. During Napoléon’s journey to Egypt in 1798, he stopped over at Malta, which he took at the point of his cannon from the Knights of Malta, which promptly went into decline. The Maltese hated the French. As for Malta, it would revolt, throw off its French oppressors and join the British empire, remaining a subservient isle until after the Second World War. The last line refers to the turmoil of the Napoléonic Wars.
Verceil Milan donra intelligence,
Dedans Tycin sera faite la paye.
Courir par Siene eau fang, feu par Florence.
Unique choir d’hault en bas failant maye.
All the places are in Northern Italy. The Tycin is a river that extends from Switzerland and empties into the Po. Vercelli is roughly west of Milan.
This is ambiguous mainly because of the last word of the quatrain, maye, has obviously been altered to rhyme with paye (peace) on line 2.
Pres de linterne dans de tonnes fermez,
Chivaz fera pour l’aigle la menee,
L’esleu cassé luy ses gens enfermez,
Dedans Turin rapt espouse emmenee.
Linterne is probably a place, but which I am uncertain. Other than Turin, the places in this quatrain are quite unknown to me. Chivaz (Chivas) is likely the name of an individual.
Pendant que l’aigle & le coq à Savonne
Seront unit Mer Levant & Ongrie,
L’armee à Naples, Palerne, Marque d’Ancone
Rome, Venise par Barb’horrible crie.
The Levant Sea is the far eastern Mediterranean Sea. The eagle will, of course, stand for a nation that uses the eagle as its symbol, which could be any nation that uses the eagle as its symbol. The cities of line 3 and 4 as well as Savona are all in Italy. This could be the end of the Second World War, when the Allied and Soviets had swept through and occupied Italy and Hungary, except even then the Soviets were starting to turn against the Western Democracies, so Hungary, occupied by the Soviets, was not united with the Levant Sea, which was occupied by the British. Because of this, I must think that this is a quatrain for the future. The eagle is likely the American Eagle.
Puanteut grande sortira de Lausanne,
Qu’on ne saura l’origine du fait,
L’on mettra hors toute la geng loingtaine
Feu veu au ciel, peuple estranger deffait.
The fire seen in the sky of the fourth line has to be rockets, which makes this 1944 or afterwards. Lausanne, in Switzerland, has not been threatened or threatening since before the 20th century. Of course, it could be that something nasty comes out of Lausanne, it does not have to be military. For instance, Communism could be said to have come out of London because Karl Marx and Frederich Engels resided there for a long time, writing Das Kapital and other communist books.
