Prophecies of Nostradamus

1Sitting alone at night in secret study;it is placed on the brass tripod.A slight flame comes out of the emptiness andmakes successful that which should not be believed in vain.2The wand in the hand is placed in the middle of the tripod's legs.With water he sprinkles both the hem of his garment and his foot.A voice, fear: he trembles in his robes.Divine splendor; the God sits nearby.3When the litters are overturned by the whirlwind and faces are covered by cloaks,the new republic will be troubled by its people.At this time the reds and the whites will rule wrongly.
