Found this:

Century 8 – Quatrain 28

Old French :

“Les simulachres d'or & d'argent enflez,
Qu'apres le rapt lac au feu furent iettez
Au descouuert estaincts tous & troublez.
Au marbre escripts, perscripts interiettez"

English:

"The copies of gold & silver inflated,
which after the theft were thrown into the lake
at the discovery that all is exhausted & dissipated by debt.
All scripts and bonds will be wiped out"

This quatrain seems clearly to describe a huge economic crisis leading to a brutal end of the monetary system.

My own interpretation of the quatrain:

When values (paper-gold?) representing the precious metals have become so numerous, a huge scam (treachery?) affecting worldwide economies will be discovered, the banknotes and securities devalued and being good just to be burned.

All (people) will be disturbed and shocked by the news that affects both equities and currencies that both will be thrown out.

Don’t you think it’s amazingly accurate describing the actual financial crisis?
