You shall find what was stolen and see it safely returned,\\
You shall be betrayed by one who calls you a friend,\\
And you shall fail to save what matters most, in the end.\\

Added DiffLines:

* ''Film/AsAboveSoBelow'': Scarlett and George find a mysterious inscription on the back of Nicholas Flamel's grave marker that is clearly written in another language (possibly French). George quickly translates it into English, and it somehow not only rhymes but is also in iambic pentameter. It's debatable whether this counts as a genuine prophecy (it seems more to be a coded message/list of instructions) but it certainly comes across as one.

* The prophecy describing Superman's life and death in the prologue to ''Literature/SupermanLastSonOfKrypton'' rhymes. [[spoiler: It still rhymes in the epilogue, even though history has altered so it's now about Superman's life and greatest triumph.]]

Added DiffLines:

** The dream verse beginning ''Seek for the Sword That Was Broken'' was a rhyme that cryptically foretold the Council of Elrond, and when Boromir set forth on a quest to discover its meaning, he arrived just in time to attend the Council.
** The prophecy of Malbeth the Seer foretold Aragorn taking the Paths of the Dead, using alliterative verse rather than rhyme: ''Over the land there lies a long shadow...''

As if to enforce the trope, some characters [[RhymesOnADime break out in rhyme]] when they receive prophetic visions.

* ''Anime/Pokemon2000'' (dub only): "Disturb not the harmony of fire, ice, or lightning, lest these titans wreak destruction upon the world in which they '''clash'''. Though the water's great guardian shall arise to quell the fighting, alone his song will fail; thus the Earth shall turn to '''ash'''." Et cetera.
