by Nostradamus

French.

L’Aisné Roial sur coursier voltigeant,

Picquer viendra si rudement courir,

Gueule lipée, pied dans l’Estrein pleignant,

Traine, tiré, horriblement mourir.

English.

The eldest Royal prancing upon a Horse,

Shall spur, and run very fiercely

Open mouth, the foot in the Stirrup, complaining,

Drawn, pulled, die horribly.
