by Nostradamus

Foible & puissant seront en grand discord,

Plusieurs mourront avant faire l’accord,

Foible ou puissant vainqueur se fera dire,

Le plus puissant au jeune cedera,

Et le plus vieux des deux decedera,

Lors que l’un d’eux envahira l’Empire.

English.

The Weak and powerfull shall be at great variance,

Many shall die before they agree,

The weak shall cause the powerful to call him Victor,
