by Nostradamus

French.

Par faim la proye fera Loup prisonier,

L’Assaillant lors en extresme detresse,

Lesnay ayant au devant le dernier,

Le grand neschape au milieu de la presse.

English.

By hunger, the prey shall make the Wolf prisoner,

Assaulting him then in a great distress,

The eldest having got before the last,

The great one doth not escape in the middle of the crowd.
