Jules Cezar Scaliger, Nostradamus
(S)
Not long ago, my friend, I wrote to you
Purely out of curiosity
And I hoped that we could meet
I felt intrigued by that celebrated doctor
We seemed to share a passion and a plan
Was all that I heard just sheer sensation
Or could he live up to his brilliant reputation
I wanted to see for myself

(N)
Some time ago, my friend, I came to you
Partly out of curiosity, I was anxious indeed
To team up with that most eloquent of doctors
An ingenious, learned and spirited man
I was looking forward to this confrontation
Did his experience surpass my education?
I wanted to find out myself

(S, N)
We're kindred spirits, ahead of our time
Healing the body and feeding the mind
Renowned for our knowledge but misunderstood
For all that we care we're just seekers of truth
Discussing matters of the utmost importance at least to us...

(S)
It's certainly a blessing to be the best of friends
With someone wise and funny, one who really understands
I'll cherish this liaison based on mutual respect
Committed to this treaty meant to guide and to direct
(S, N)
We may not agree on everything
But little quarrels don't mean anything
It's science that unites us

(S, N)
We're kindred spirits, ahead of our time
Healing the body and feeding the mind
Renowned for our knowledge but misunderstood
For all that we care we're just seekers of truth
Discussing matters of the utmost importance at least to us...

(N)
It's certainly a pleasure; we're now the best of friends
But there will come a moment of pain and great offence
I sense one day you'll turn against me when you fail where I succeed
Your jealous heart will surely make you turn your back on me
(S, N)
We may not agree on everything
And little quarrels don't mean anything
It's science that unites us
No rivalry divides us
(N) Yet...
