by Nostradamus

XXXIV.

French.

En grand regret sera la gent Gauloise,

Cœur vain, leger croira temerité,

Pain, sel, ne vin eau venin ne cervoise,

Plus grand captif, faim, froid, necessité.

English.

In great regret shall the French Nation be.

Their vain and light heart shall believe rashly.

They shall have neither Bread, Salt, Wine, nor Beer,

Moreover they shall be Prisoners, and shall suffer hunger, cold, and need.

ANNOT.

The words are plain, and the onely question is whither this distress threatned here to France is past or to come.
