by Nostradamus

LXXVII.

French.

Par faim la proye fera Loup prisonier,

L’Assaillant lors en extresme detresse,

Lesnay ayant au devant le dernier,

Le grand neschape au milieu de la presse.

English.

By hunger, the prey shall make the Wolf prisoner,

Assaulting him then in a great distress,

The eldest having got before the last,

The great one doth not escape in the middle of the crowd.

ANNOT.

The two first Verses signifie, that an hungry Wolf seeking for a Prey, shall be caught in some trap, where being almost famished, the Prey shall assault him. The last two Verses being obscure and not material to any thing I have neglected them.
