France 3 Brothers and the Fleur de Lis

Nostradamus Quotes: Century 2 Verse 34

L'ire insensee du combat furieux,
Fera `a table par freres le fer luire:
Les despurit blesse et curieux,
Le fier duelle viendra en France nuire.

Variations in rendered French

Authors works consulted for variations in French: (a) John Hogue. (b) Henry C. Roberts. (c) Mario Reading. (page, 771.) (d) Edgar Leoni. (e) Jean-Charles de Fontbrune (page 289.)

The French rendered the same except. All authors have 'despartir' 3rd line. All authors except (d) have no 'et' line 3. (b)(d)(e) have, 'mort,' instead of 'duelle.' Line 4. (b)(e) have 'y' instead of 'I' in Luire, and Nuire. (d) has, 'duel,' instead of Duelle.

Meanings of the French words deemed appropriate

Insensee=mad, raging, furious; unreasonable, witless. Fier=proud, arrogant; also, fierce, bloody, cruel.

Furieux= Furious, raging; extreme anger, wrath.

Freres= brothers. Luire= To shine, glitter; to be clear, be bright, give light, yield a radiant lustre.

Ce qu'on donne luit, ce qu'on mange puit.

What we give shines, what we eat smells.

Blesse= Hurt, wounded; ulcerated; whose flesh is cut, or bruised; whose skin is fretted off. Mort= Death. Dead, deceased, departed; also, killed, murdered, slain.

Qui se combat n'est pas mort.

A man's not dead as long as he doth fight; (indeed, there is often more life than honesty in a contention.)

(I have no idea in which copy- original, authors (b)(d)(e) found, 'mort' instead of duelle? But neither of the contenders was actually killed in the furious augument. [will be dealt with further, in E books.]

Nuire= To hurt, offend, annoy, hinder, do a displeasure to.

While all 5 authors have, 'despartir' line 3, in the original I see, 'despurir', it may be, 'despurit?' both being of Depurer-t? = To, purge, clear, purify. The word is definitely not 'despartir' it would be better as 'departi'= Parted, gone, departed; also, division, distributed, disposed, sorted, or set into parts; also refused, renounced, left; also, parted, or severed, as metals. 'despartir,' as 'departir= To part, depart, or go from, leave; also, to divide, distribute, or dispose into several parts.

'Ire de frères ire de diables'.

Brothers fury, devil's folly.

Nostradamus] two brothers seated at a table, foolishly quarrel over religious laws, the argument becomes heated, and weapons are drawn, but the result is odd to say the least; it ends not well, but I will say no more.

Thus, we might translate

From senseless anger to furious combat,
the two brothers to drawing swords at the table, will be the cause;
separated, one oddly wounded,
the proud duel will come to harm France.
