by Nostradamus

XXXII.

French.

Le grand Empire chascun en devoit estre,

Un sur les autres le viendra obtenir,

Mais peu de temps sera son Regne & estre,

Deux ans aux Naves se pourra soustenir.

English.

The great Empire, every one would be of it,

One above the rest shall obtain it,

But his time and his Reign shall last little,

He may maintain himself two years in his Shipping.

ANNOT.

This is plain enough without interpretation.
