by Nostradamus

French.

Dans peu ira fauce brute fragile,

De bas en haut eslevé promptement,

Puis en estant desloyal & labile,

Qui de Verone aura gouvernment.

English.

Within a little while a false frail brute shall go,

From low to high, being quickly raised,

By reason that he shall have the Government of Verona,

Shall be unfaithful and slippery.
