by Nostradamus

Ambassadeur viendra de Perse,

Nouvelle au Franc Pais porter,

Mais non receu vaine esperance,

A son grand Dieu sera l’offense,

Feignant de le vouloir quitter.

English.

A little before that Trade shall be open,

An Embassador shall come from Persia,

To bring news into France,

But he shall not be received, O vain hope!
