by Nostradamus

French.

Siege a Cité & de nuit assaille,

Peu eschapez non loing de Mer conflict,

Femme de joye, retour fils, de faillie,

Poison & Lettres caché dedans le plie.

English.

A Siege laid to a City, and assaulted by night,

Few escaped, a fight not far from the Sea,

A woman swoundeth for joy to see her son returned;

A poison hidden in the fold of Letters.
