by Nostradamus

French.

Par guerre longue tout l’exercite espuiser,

Que pour Soldats ne trouveront pecune,

Lieu d’Or, d’Argent cair on viendra cuser,

Gaulois Ærain, signe croissant de Lune.

English.

By a long War, all the Army drained dry,

So that to raise Souldiers they shall find no Money,

Instead of Gold and Silver, they shall stamp Leather,

The French Copper, the mark of the stamp the new Moon.
