by Nostradamus

Avant long temps le tout sera rangé,

Nous esperons un siecle bien senestre,

L’Estat des masques & des seuls bien changé,

Peu trouveront qui a son rang vueille estre.

English.

Before it be long, all shall be set in order,

We look for a sinister Age,

The state of the Visards and of the alone shall be changed,

They shall find few that will keep their ranks.
