Mabus plustost alors mourra, viendra,
De gens & bestes vn horrible defaite:
Puis tout . coup la vengeance on verra,
Cent, main, faim quand courra la comete.
"Mabus" then will soon die, there will come
Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
- or -
Mabus then will soon die, there will come
A horrible slaughter of people and animals:
At once vengeance is revealed coming from a hundred hands,
Thirst and hunger when the comet will run.
Cheetham: Is "Mabus" an anagram for the Antichrist?
Hogue: "Mabus" is one of Nostradamus' most famous prophetic enigmas; may provide a clue to the name and identity of the third and final Antichrist; it may already be too late to decode and prevent "its" terrible destiny; the final line dates the beginning of his legacy of terror around the time of the appearance of a comet.
Halley? Hale-Bopp? Both Hogue and Cheetham use Halley's Comet as THE signpost; however, at the time that they were writing, they had no knowledge of the splendor of the Hale-Bopp Comet, which appeared in 1996-1997

Pau, Marne & Seine fera Perme l'vrie:
Qui le grand mur contre eux dressera,
Du moindre au mur le grand perdra la vie.
The Gauls Ausonia will subjugate very little,
Po, Marne and Seine Parma will make drunk:
He who will prepare the great wall against them,
He will lose his life from the least at the wall.

Bruit humain monstre purge expiation.

Deaths speaking: great execution.
The stone in the tree, the proud nation restored,
Noise, human monster, purge expiation.
