by Nostradamus

Par Crocodil estrangement donné,

Peuple ravy de voir un tel spectacle.

English.

He that hath overcome the dangers,

That hath never feared Iron, Fire nor Water,

And of the Countrey near the Basacle,

By a stroke of Iron (all the World being astonished),

By a Crocodile strangely given,

People will wonder to see such a spectacle.
