THE PROPHECIES OF NOSTRADAMUS INTRODUCTION In the autumn of 1939, soon after Germany had declared war on Europe, Frau Dr Goebbels was lying in bed reading an obscure book on occult literature. It contained some predictions made by a certain Nostradamus, printed in 1568. Her husband was asleep, but Frau Dr Goebbels was so excited by what she had read that she woke him and made him read the relevant passages. He was sufficiently impressed to arrange that his Propaganda Ministry hired the services of a Swiss astrologer named Ernst Krafft who was soon to be found reproducing material based on Nostradamus' Prophecies, using them to some effect psychologically in occupied Europe. How could an obscure medieval French doctor cause such consternation in both Goebbels' and Himmler's Departments? How could he also cause the British Secret Service to spend a reputed sum of œ80,000 on retaliatory propaganda? He was Michel de Nostredame, more commonly known by the Latinized form of his name, Nostradamus, born at noon on December 14, 1503 by the old calendar, in St R‚my de Provence. His family were not the illustrious line of Jewish- Italian doctors working at the Courts of King Ren‚ of Anjou and of his son, as has commonly been claimed, but people of simple lineage from around Avignon. His grandfather was Peyrot or Pierre de Nostredame, an established grain- dealer, who married a Gentile girl named Blanche. Their son Jaume or Jacques, Nostradamus' father, moved to St R‚my in 1495 and gave up the family trade. Here he married Reyniere de St R‚my who was the grand-daughter of an ex- doctor, turned tax-collector. The family were converted from Judaism to the Catholic faith by the time Nostradamus was nine years old, as his parents are listed in 1512 as being part of the new Christian community. It is important to remember the Jewish element of Nostradamus' childhood when trying to decipher the Prophecies, as he was greatly influenced by occult Jewish literature. Nostradamus was the oldest son, and had four brothers; of the first three we know little; the youngest, Jean, wrote a great many ribald Proven‡al songs and commentaries, and eventually became Procureur of the Parliament of Provence. Nostradamus' great intellect became apparent while he was still very young, and his education was put into the hands of his grandfather, Jean, who taught him the rudiments of Latin, Greek, Hebrew, Mathematics and what Nostradamus calls celestial science, Astrology. When this grandparent died the boy returned to his parents' house in the rue de Barri and his other grandfather endeavoured to continue his education. Soon, however, Nostradamus was sent to Avignon to study, and probably stayed with some of the many cousins he had in the town. He already showed a great interest in astrology and it became common talk among his fellow students. He upheld the Copernican theory that the world was round and circled around the sun more than 100 years before Galileo was prosecuted for the same belief. His parents were quite rightly worried by this attitude because theirs was the age of the Inquisition, and as ex-Jews they were more vulnerable than most. So they sent his off to study medicine at Montpellier in 1522. Nostradamus was now nineteen years old and had the advantage of some of the most progressive medical minds in Europe to stimulate him. He obtained his bachelor's degree (baccalaur‚at) after three years, with apparent ease, and once he had his licence to practise medicine he decided to leave the University and go out into the countryside and help the many victims of the plague. Century One 1 Sitting alone at night in secret study; it is placed on the brass tripod. A slight flame comes out of the emptiness and makes successful that which should not be believed in vain. 2 The 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 splendour; the god sits nearby. 3 When 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. 4 In the world there will be made a king who will have little peace and a short life. At this time the ship of the Papacy will be lost, governed to its greatest detriment. 5 They will be driven away for a long drawn out fight. The countryside will be most grievously troubled. Town and country will have the greater struggle. Carcassonne and Narbonne will have their hearts tried. 6 The eye of Ravenna will be forsaken, when his wings will fail at his feet. The two of Bresse will have made a constitution for Turin and Vercelli, which the French will trample underfoot. 7 Arrived too late, the act has been done. The wind was against them, letters intercepted on their way. The conspirators were fourteen of a party. By Rousseau shall these enterprises be undertaken. 8 How often will you be captured, O city of the sun? Changing laws that are barbaric and vain. Bad times approach you. No longer will you be enslaved. Great Hadrie will revive your veins. 9 From the Orient will come the African heart to trouble Hadrie and the heirs of Romulus. Accompanied by the Libyan fleet the temples of Malta and nearby islands shall be deserted. 10 A coffin is put into the vault of iron, where the seven children of the king are held. The ancestors and forebears will come forth from the depths of hell, lamenting to see thus dead the fruit of their line. 11 The motion of senses, heart, feet and hands will be in agreement between Naples, Lyon and Sicily. Swords, fire, floods, then the noble Romans drowned, killed or dead because of a weak brain. 12 There will soon be talk of a treacherous man, who rules a short time, quickly raised from low to high estate. He will suddenly turn disloyal and volatile. This man will govern Verona. 13 Through anger and internal hatreds, the exiles will hatch a great plot against the king. Secretly they will place enemies as a threat, and his own old (adherents) will find sedition against them. 14 From the enslaved populace, songs, chants and demands, while Princes and Lords are held captive in prisons. These will in the future be received by headless idiots as divine prayers. 15 Mars threatens us with the force of war and will cause blood to be spilt seventy times. The clergy will be both exalted and reviled moreover, by those who wish to learn nothing of them. 16 A scythe joined with a pond in Sagittarius at its highest ascendant. Plague, famine, death from military hands; the century approaches its renewal. 17 For forty years the rainbow will not be seen. For forty years it will be seen every day. The dry earth will grow more parched and there will be great floods when it is seen. 18 Because of French discord and negligence an opening shall be given to the Mohammedans. The land and sea of Siena will be soaked in blood, and the port of Marseilles covered with ships and sails. 19 When the snakes surround the altar, and the Trojan blood is troubled by the Spanish. Because of them, a great number will be lessened. The leader flees, hidden in the swampy marshes. 20 The cities of Tours, Orl‚ans, Blois, Angiers, Reims and Nantes are troubled by sudden change. Tents will be pitched by (people) of foreign tongues; rivers, darts at Rennes, shaking of land and sea. 21 The rock holds in its depths white clay which will come out milk-white from a cleft. Needlessly troubled people will not dare touch it, unaware that the foundation of the earth is of clay. 22 A thing existing without any senses will cause its own end to happen through artifice. At Autun, Chalan, Langres and the two Sens there will be great damage from hail and ice. 23 In the third month, at sunrise, the Boar and the Leopard meet on the battlefield. The fatigued Leopard looks up to heaven and sees an eagle playing around the sun. 24 At the New City he is thoughtful to condemn; the bird of prey offers himself to the gods. After victory he pardons his captives. At Cremona and Mantua great hardships will be suffered. 25 The lost thing is discovered hidden for many centuries. Pasteur will be celebrated almost as a god-like figure. This is when the moon completes her great cycle, but by other rumours he shall be dishonoured. 26 The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt. An evil deed, foretold by the bearer of a petition. According to the prediction another falls at night time. Conflict at Reims, London, and pestilence in Tuscany. 27 Beneath the oak tree of Gienne, struck by lightning, the treasure is hidden not far from there. That which for many centuries had been gathered, when found, a man will die, his eye pierced by a spring. 28 Tobruk will fear the barbarian fleet for a time, then much later the Western fleet. Cattle, people, possessions, all will be quite lost. What a deadly combat in Taurus and Libra. 29 When the fish that travels over both land and sea is cast up on to the shore by a great wave, its shape foreign, smooth and frightful. From the sea the enemies soon reach the walls. 30 Because of the storm at sea, the foreign ship will approach an unknown port. Notwithstanding the signs of the palm branches, afterwards there is death and pillage. Good advice comes too late. 31 The wars in France will last for so many years beyond the reign of the Castulon kings. An uncertain victory will crown three great ones, the Eagle, the Cock, the Moon, the Lion, the Sun in its house. 32 The great Empire will soon be exchanged for a small place, which soon will begin to grow. A small place of tiny area in the middle of which he will come to lay down his sceptre. 33 Near a great bridge near a spacious plain the great lion with the Imperial forces will cause a falling outside the austere city. Through fear the gates will be unlocked for him. 34 The bird of prey flying to the left, before battle is joined with the French, he makes preparations. Some will regard him as good, others bad or uncertain. The weaker party will regard him as a good omen. 35 The young lion will overcome the older one, in a field of combat in single fight: He will pierce his eyes in their golden cage; two wounds in one, then he dies a cruel death. 36 Too late the king will repent that he did not put his adversary to death. But he will soon come to agree to far greater things which will cause all his line to die. 37 Shortly before sun set, battle is engaged. A great nation is uncertain. Overcome, the sea port makes no answer, the bridge and the grave both in foreign places. 38 The Sun and the Eagle will appear to the victor. An empty answer is assured to the defeated. Neither bugle nor shouts will stop the soldiers. Liberty and peace, if achieved in time through death. 39 At night the last one will be strangled in his bed because he bacame too involved with the blond heir elect. The Empire is enslaved and three men substituted. He is put to death with neither letter nor packet read. 40 The false trumpet concealing madness will cause Byzantium to change its laws. From Egypt there will go forth a man who wants the edict withdrawn, changing money and standards. 41 The city is besieged and assaulted by night; few have escaped; a battle not far from the sea. A woman faints with joy at the return of her son, poison in the folds of the hidden letters. 42 The tenth day of the April Calends, calculated in Gothic fashion is revived again by wicked people. The fire is put out and the diabolic gathering seek the bones of the demon of Psellus. 43 Before the Empire changes a very wonderful event will take place. The field moved, the pillar of porphyry put in place, changed on the gnarled rock. 44 In a short time sacrifices will be resumed, those opposed will be put (to death) like martyrs. There will no longer be monks, abbots or novices. Honey shall be far more expensive than wax. 45 A founder of sects, much trouble for the accuser: A beast in the theatre prepares the scene and the plot. The author ennobled by acts of older times; the world is confused by schismatic sects. 46 Very near Auch, Lectoure and Mirande a great fire will fall from the sky for three nights. The cause will appear both stupefying and marvelous; shortly afterwards there will be an earthquake. 47 The speeches of Lake Leman will become angered, the days will drag out into weeks, then months, then years, then all will fail. The authorities will condemn their useless powers. 48 When twenty years of the Moon's reign have passed another will take up his reign for seven thousand years. When the exhausted Sun takes up his cycle then my prophecy and threats will be accomplished. 49 Long before these happenings the people of the East, influenced by the Moon, in the year 1700 will cause many to be carried away, and will almost subdue the Northern area. 50 From the three water signs will be born a man who will celebrate Thursday as his holiday. His renown, praise, rule and power will grow on land and sea, bringing trouble to the East. 51 The head of Aries, Jupiter and Saturn. Eternal God, what changes! Then the bad times will return again after a long century; what turmoil in France and Italy. 52 Two evil influences in conjunction in Scorpio. The great lord is murdered in his room. A newly appointed king persecutes the Church, the lower (parts of) Europe and in the North. 53 Alas, how we will see a great nation sorely troubled and the hole law in utter ruin. Christianity (governed) throughout by other laws, when a new source of gold and silver is discovered. 54 Two revolutions will be caused by the evil scythe beared making a change of reign and centuries. The mobile sign thus moves into its house: equal in favour to both sides. 55 In the land with a climate opposite to Babylon there will be great shedding of blood. Heaven will seem unjust both on land and sea and in the air. Sects, famine, kingdoms, plagues, confusion. 56 Sooner and later you will see great changes made, dreadful horrors and vengeances. For as the moon is thus led by its angel the heavens draw near to the Balance. 57 The trumpet shakes with great discord. An agreement broken: lifting the face to heaven: the bloody mouth will swim with blood; the face anointed with milk and honey lies on the ground. 58 Through a slit in the belly a creature will be born with two heads and four arms: it will survive for some few years. The day that Alquiloie celebrates his festivals, Fossana, Turin and the ruler of Ferrara will follow. 59 The exiles deported to the islands at the advent of an even more cruel king will be murdered. Two will be burnt who were not sparing in their speech. 60 An Emperor will be born near Italy, who will cost the Empire very dearly. They will say, when they see his allies, that he is less a prince than a butcher. 61 The wretched, unfortunate republic will again be ruined by a new authority. The great amount of ill will accumulated in exile will make the Swiss break their important agreement. 62 Alas! what a great loss there will be to learning before the cycle of the Moon is completed. Fire, great floods, by more ignorant rulers; how long the centuries until it is seen to be restored. 63 Pestilences extinguished, the world becomes smaller, for a long time the lands will be inhabited peacefully. People will travel safely through the sky (over) land and seas: then wars will start up again. 64 At night they will think they have seen the sun, when they see the half pig man: Noise, screams, battles seen fought in the skies. The brute beasts will be heard to speak. 65 A child without hands, never so great a thunderbolt seen, the royal child wounded at a game of tennis. At the well lightning strikes, joining together three trussed up in the middle under the oaks. 66 He who then carries the news, after a short while will (stop) to breathe: Viviers, Tournon, Montferrand and Pradelles; hail and storms will make them grieve. 67 The great famine which I sense approaching will often turn (in various areas) then become world wide. It will be so vast and long lasting that (they) will grab roots from the trees and children from the breast. 68 O to what a dreadful and wretched torment are three innocent people going to be delivered. Poison suggested, badly guarded, betrayal. Delivered up to horror by drunken executioners. 69 The great mountain, seven stadia round, after peace, war, famine, flooding. It will spread far, drowning great countries, even antiquities and their mighty foundations. 70 Rain, famine and war will not cease in Persia; too great a trust will betray the monarch. Those (actions) started in France will end there, a secret sign for one to be sparing. 71 The marine tower will be captured and retaken three times by Spaniards, Barbarians and Ligurians. Marseilles and Aix, Arles, by men of Pisa, devastation, fire, sword, pillage at Avignon by the Turinese. 72 The inhabitants of Marseilles completely changed, fleeing and pursued as far as Lyons. Narbonne, Toulouse angered by Bordeaux; the killed and captive are almost one million. 73 France shall be accused of neglect by her five partners. Tunis, Algiers stirred up by the Persians. Leon, Seville and Barcelona having failed, they will not have the fleet because of the Venetians. 74 After a rest they will travel to Epirus, great help coming from around Antioch. The curly haired king will strive greatly for the Empire, the brazen beard will be roasted on a spit. 75 The tyrant of Siena will occupy Savona, having won the fort he will restrain the marine fleet. Two armies under the standard of Ancona: the leader will examine them in fear. 76 This man will be called by a barbaric name that three sisters will receive from destiny. He will speak then to a great people in words and deeds, more than any other will have fame and renown. 77 A promontory stands between two seas: A man who will die later by the bit of a horse; Neptune unfurls a black sail for his man; the fleet near Gibraltar and the Rocheval. 78 To an old leader will be born an idiot heir, weak both in knowledge and in war. The leader of France is feared by his sister, battlefields divided, conceded to the soldiers. 79 Bazas, Lectoure, Condom, Auch and Agen are troubled by laws, disputes and monopolies. Carcasonne, Bordeaux, Toulouse and Bayonne will be ruined when they wish to renew the massacre. 80 From the sixth bright celestial light it will come to thunder very strongly in Burgundy. Then a monster will be born of a very hideous beast: In March, April, May and June great wounding and worrying. 81 Nine will be set apart from the human flock, separated from judgment and advice. Their fate is to be divided as they depart. K. Th. L. dead, banished and scattered. 82 When the great wooden columns tremble in the south wind, covered with blood. Such a great assembly then pours forth that Vienna and the land of Austria will tremble. 83 The alien nation will divide the spoils. Saturn in dreadful opposition in Mars. Dreadful and foreign to the Tuscans and Latins, Greeks who will wish to strike. 84 The moon obscured in deep gloom, his brother becomes bright red in colour. The great one hidden for a long time in the shadows will hold the blade in the bloody wound. 85 The king is troubled by the queen's reply. Ambassadors will fear for their lives. The greater of his brothers will doubly disguise his action, two of them will die through anger, hatred and envy. 86 When the great queen sees herself conquered, she will show an excess of masculine courage. Naked, on horseback, she will pass over the river pursued by the sword: she will have outraged her faith. 87 Earthshaking fire from the centre of the earth will cause tremors around the New City. Two great rocks will war for a long time, then Arethusa will redden a new river. 88 The divine wrath overtakes the great Prince, a short while before he will marry. Both supporters and credit will suddenly diminish. Counsel, he will die because of the shaven heads. 89 Those of Lerida will be in the Moselle, killing all those from the Loire and Seine. The seaside track will come near the high valley, when the Spanish open every route. 90 Bordeaux and Poitiers at the sound of the bell will go with a great fleet as far as Langon. A great rage will surge up against the French, when an hideous monster is born near Orgon. 91 The gods will make it appear to mankind that they are the authors of a great war. Before the sky was seen to be free of weapons and rockets: the greatest damage will be inflicted on the left. 92 Under one man peace will be proclaimed everywhere, but not long after will be looting and rebellion. Because of a refusal, town, land and sea will be broached. About a third of a million dead or captured. 93 The Italian lands near the mountains will tremble. The Cock and the Lion not strongly united. In place of fear they will help each other. Freedom alone moderates the French. 94 The tyrant Selim will be put to death at the harbour but Liberty will not be regained, however. A new war arises from vengeance and remorse. A lady is honoured through force of terror. 95 In front of a monastery will be found a twin infant from the illustrious and ancient line of a monk. His fame, renown and power through sects and speech is such that they will say the living twin is deservedly chosen. 96 A man will be charged with the destruction of temples and sects, altered by fantasy. He will harm the rocks rather than the living, ears filled with ornate speeches. 97 That which neither weapon nor flame could accomplish will be achieved by a sweet speaking tongue in council. Sleeping, in a dream, the king will see the enemy not in war or of military blood. 98 The leader who will conduct great numbers of people far from their skies, to foreign customs and language. Five thousand will die in Crete and Thessaly, the leader fleeing in a sea going supply ship. 99 The great king will join with two kings, united in friendship. How the great household will sigh: around Narbon what pity for the children. 100 For a long time a grey bird will be seen in the sky near D“le and the lands of Tuscany. He holds a flowering branch in his beak, but he dies too soon and the war ends. CENTURY TWO 1 Towards Aquitaine, by British assaults, and by them also great incursions. Rains and frost make the terrain unsafe, against Port Selin they will make mighty invasions. 2 The blue leader will inflict upon the white leader as much damage as France has done them good. Death from the great antenna hanging from the branch, when the king will ask how many of his men have been captured. 3 Because of heat like that of the sun upon the sea the fish around Negrepont will become half cooked. The local people will eat them when in Rhodes and Genoa there is a lack of food. 4 From Monaco as far as Sicily all the coast will remain deserted. There will be no suburbs, cities nor towns which have not been pillaged and robbed by barbarians. 5 When weapons and documents are enclosed in a fish, out of it will come a man who will then make war. His fleet will have travelled far across the sea to appear near the Italian shore. 6 Near the harbour and in two cities will be two scourges, the like of which have never been seen. Hunger, plague within, people thrown out by the sword will cry for help from the great immortal God. 7 Among many people deported to the islands will be a man born with two teeth in his mouth. They will die of hunger having stripped the trees. A new king will pass new laws for them. 8 Temples consecrated in the early Roman fashion, they will reject the broken foundations; taken their early human laws, expelling almost all the cults of the saints. 9 For nine years the thin man will keep a peaceful rule, then he will fall into so bloody a thirst that a great nation will die for him without faith or law; killed by a much better natured man. 10 Before long everything will be organized; we await a very evil century. The state of the masked and the solitary ones greatly changed, few will find that they wish to retain their rank. 11 The following son the elder will succeed, very greatly raised to a kingdom of privilege. His bitter renown will be feared by all, but his children will be thrown out of the kingdom. 12 Their eyes closed, open to the old fantasy, the habit of priests will be abolished. The great monarch will punish their frenzy, stealing the treasure in front of the temples. 13 The body without a soul no longer at the sacrifice. At the day of death it is brought to rebirth. The divine spirit will make the soul rejoice seeing the eternity of the word. 14 At Tours and Gien watchful eyes will be guarded, they will spy far off the Serene Highness. She and her suite will enter the harbour, combat joined, sovereign power. 15 A short while before a king is murdered, Castor and Pollux in the ship, a bearded star. Public treasure emptied on land and sea, Pisa, Asti, Terrara and Turin are forbidden lands. 16 In Naples, Palermo, Sicily and Syracuse new tyrants, thunder and lightning in the skies. A force from London, Ghent, Brussels and Susa: a great massacre, then triumph and festivities. 17 The field of the vestal virgin's temple is not far from Ethne and the Pyrenees. The great one led is hidden in a trunk. In the North, the rivers overflow and the vines destroyed. 18 News; unexpected and heavy rain will suddenly prevent two armies. Stones and fire from the skies will make a sea of stones. The death of the seven suddenly by land and sea. 19 Newcomers will build a place without defences, occupying a place uninhabitable until then Meadows, houses, fields, towns will be taken with pleasure. Famine, plague, war, extensive arable land. 20 Brothers and sisters captives in differing places will find themselves passing before the monarch. His attentive offspring will look at them, displeased to see the signs on their chins, foreheads and noses. 21 The ambassador sent by the biremes is repulsed half way by an unknown man. Four triremes come reinforced with salt; he is bound with cords and chains to Negrepont. 22 The aimless army will depart from Europe and join up close to the submerged island. The NATO fleet folds up its standard, the navel of the world takes over from a greater voice. 23 Birds at the palace, chased out by a bird very soon after the upstart prince. How many of the enemy are repulsed beyond the river, the upheld bird seized from without by a trick. 24 Beasts wild with hunger will cross the rivers, the greater part of the battlefield will be against Hitler. He will drag the leader in a cage of iron, when the child of Germany observes no law. 25 The foreign guard will betray the fortress, the shadowy hope of an important marriage. The guard deceived, the fort taken in the crush. Loire, Sa“ne, Rh“ne, Garonne outraged to death. 26 Because of the fervour that a city will show towards a great man who later loses on the battlefield, the ranks will flee, rushing into the Po and the Tessin, blood, firing, dead men drowned and slashed. 27 The divine voice will be struck by heaven and he will not be able to proceed further. The secret is hidden with the revelation so that people will walk over and ahead. 28 The last but one of the prophet's name, will take Monday for his day of rest. He will wander far in his frenzy delivering a great nation from subjection. 29 The man from the East will come out of his seat and will cross the Apennines to see France. He will cross through the sky, the seas and the snows and he will strike everyone with his rod. 30 A man who revives the infernal Gods of Hannibal, the terror of mankind. Never more horror nor the papers tell of worse in the past, than will come to the Romans through Babel. 31 In Campanie the Cassilin (river) will be so great that one will see only fields covered in water. Before and after the long lasting rain nothing green will be seen except for the trees. 32 Milk, blood, frogs will be prepared in Dalmatia: battle engaged, plague near Balennes. A great cry will go up throughout Slavonia, then will a monster be born near Ravenna. 33 Through the torrent which pours down from Verona there where the entry is guided to the Po, a great wreck, and not less so in Garonne when the people of Genoa will march against their country. 34 The senseless rage of a furious struggle will cause the brothers to draw their weapons at table. A wounded man parts them strangely: the proud duel will bring harm to France. 35 Fire will take hold in two houses at night, several people inside suffocated or burnt. It will happen near two rivers for sure, once the Sun, Sagittarius and Capricorn are all diminished. 36 The letters of the great prophet will be intercepted and fall into the hands of the tyrant. His efforts will be to deceive his King, but soon his thefts will trouble him. 37 Of the great number that are sent to relieve the besieged fort, disease and hunger will destroy them all except seventy who will be killed. 38 There will be a great number of condemned people when the monarchs are reconciled. But one of them will be so unfortunate that they will hardly be able to remain allied. 39 A year before the war in Italy, Germans, French and Spanish will be for the strong one; the school house of the republic will fall, where, except for a few, they will suffocate to death. 40 Shortly afterwards, not a very long interval, a great tumult will be raised by land and sea. The naval battles will be greater than ever. Fires, creatures which will make more trouble. 41 The great star will burn for seven days and the cloud will make the sun appear double. The large mastiff will howl all night when the great pontiff changes his abode. 42 The cock, cats and dogs will be replete with blood when the tyrant is found dead of a wound in the bed of another. Both arms and legs broken, he who was not afraid dies a cruel death. 43 During the appearance of the bearded star, the three great princes will be made enemies. The shaky peace on earth will be struck from the skies, the Po, the winding Tiber, a serpent placed upon the shore. 44 The eagle driven back around the tents will be chased by other birds around him. Then the sound of cymbals, trumpets and bells will restore sense to the senseless woman. 45 The heavens weep too much for the birth of Androgeus, near the heavens human blood is spilt. It is too late for the great nation to be revived. Because of the death, soon, yet too late, comes the awaited help. 46 After great misery for mankind an even greater approaches when the great cycle of the centuries is renewed. It will rain blood, milk, famine, war and disease. In the sky will be seen a fire, dragging a trail of sparks. 47 The enemy watches with grief the old man dead from poison; the kings are overcome by an immeasurable (number). It rains stones, hidden under the fleece; vainly articles are asserted by the dead man. 48 The great army will pass over the mountains when Saturn is in Sagittarius and Mars moving into Pisces. Poison hidden under the heads of salmon, their chief in war hung with a cord. 49 The advisers of the first conspiracy, the victors won over on behalf of the Maltese: Rhodes and Byzantium opening their towns for them, the pursuers in flight will need land. 50 When the people of Hainault, Ghent and Brussels see siege laid before Langres: behind their flanks will be dreadful wars, the former wound being worse than their enemies. 51 The blood of the just will be demanded of London burnt by fire in three times twenty plus six. The ancient lady will fall from her high position, and many of the same denomination will be killed. 52 For several nights the earth will shake; in the spring two great efforts in succession. Corinth and ephesus will swim in the two seas; war will be stirred up by two valiant in combat. 53 The great plague in the maritime city will not stop until death is avenged by the blood of a just man taken and condemned for no crime; the great lady is outraged by the pretence. 54 By a foreign people, far from the Romans, their great city will be greatly damaged by water. A girl without a greatly different estate taken by the leader, the iron not having been removed. 55 In the conflict the great man who is of little worth will perform an astonishing deed at his death. While Hadrie sees what is needed, during a banquet he stabs the proud. 56 One whom neither plague nor sword could kill will die on the top of a hill, struck from the sky. The abbot will die when he sees the ruin of the people in the shipwreck trying to hold on to the reef. 57 Before the battle the great man will fall, the great one to death, death too sudden and lamented. Born imperfect, it will go the greater part of the way; near the river of blood the ground is stained. 58 Without either foot or hand, with strong and sharp teeth through the crowd to the fortified harbour and the elder born. Near the gates, treacherous, he crosses over; the moon shines but little, great pillage. 59 The French fleet with the support of the main guard of great Neptune and his trident warriors: Provence scrounged to sustain this great band, moreover, fighting at Narbonne with javelins and arrows. 60 Faith with Africa broken in the East, Great Jordan, Rhone, Loire & Tagus will change. When the hunger of the mule is sated, the fleet is scattered and bodies swim in blood. 61 Bravo, men of the Thames, Gironde and la Rochelle; O Trojan blood killed by an arrow at the harbour. Beyond the river the ladder put against the port, flashes of fire, great slaughter in the breach. 62 Mabus will then soon die and there will come a dreadful destruction of people and animals. Suddenly vengeance will be revealed, a hundred hands, thirst and hunger, when the comet will pass. 63 The French will subdue Ausonia in a little while, Pau, Marne and Seine, Perme will make drunk. He who raises the great wall against them, the great one will lose his life from the least at the wall. 64 The people of Geneva will dry up with thirst and hunger, hope at hand will come to failure: the law of the Cevennes will be at breaking point, the fleet cannot be received at the great port. 65 In the feeble lists, great calamity through America and Lombardy. The fire in the ship, plague and captivity; Mercury in Sagittarius, Saturn warning. 66 The captive escaped great dangers, his fortune greatly changed in a short time. The people are trapped in the palace, by good omen, the besieged city. 67 The blonde one will come into conflict with the hooknosed one, in a duel and will drive him out. He will have restored the exiles committing the strongest to the marine places. 68 In the North great efforts will be made, across the seas the way will be open. The rule on the island will be re-established, London fearful of the fleet when sighted. 69 A Gallic king from the Celtic right hand (side) seeing the discord of the great monarch will flourish his sceptre over the three leopards against the king of the great Hierarchy. 70 The dart from heaven will make its journey; Death while speaking; a great execution. The stone in the tree, the proud nation brought down; rumour of a human monster, purge and expiation. 71 The exiles will come to Sicily in order to deliver the foreign nation from hunger. At daybreak the Celts will fail them, life remains by reason; the king joins in alliance. 72 The French army will be troubled in Italy, on all sides conflict and great loss. Flee the Italians, O France repelled; near the Ticino the battle at the Rubicon is uncertain. 73 The shore of Lake Garda to Lake Fucino, taken from Lake Geneva to the harbour of Orguion. Born with three arms it foretells a warlike image with three kingdoms for the great Endymion. 74 From Sens, from Autun they will come as far as the Rh“ne to cross over the Pyrenees. The people going out from the Marches of Ancona will follow in great trails over land and sea. 75 The call of the unwanted bird being heard on the chimney stack; bushels of wheat will rise so high that man will devour his fellow man. 76 Lightning in Burgundy will reveal portentous events. A thing that could never have been done by trickery. The lame priest will reveal matters of the senate to the enemy. 77 Repulsed by bows, burning pitch and fires, cries and shouts will be heard in the middle of the night. They will get in through the broken defences; the traitors escape through the underground passages. 78 Great Neptune from the depths of the sea, of mixed African race and French blood, the islands remain bloody because of the slow one; it will harm him more than the badly concealed secret. 79 The man with the curly, black beard will subdue the cruel and proud nation through skill. The great CHIREN will take from afar all those captured by the Turkish banner. 80 After the battle, the eloquence of the one left behind for a short time brings a short respite. None of the great will be allowed to go free, they are left to their enemies at the proper time. 81 The city is almost burned down by fire from the sky, water again threatens Deucalion. Sardinia is vexed by the African fleet after Libra has left Leo. 82 Through hunger the prey will make the wolf prisoner, the attacker then in great distress; the elder having the younger in front; the great man cannot escape in the middle of the crowd. 83 The great trade of great Lyons changed, the greater part turns into early ruin. A prey to the soldiers through a harvest of pillage. Fogs through the mountains of Jura and Switzerland. 84 Between Campania, Sienna, Florence and Tuscany, it will not rain a drop for six months and nine days. A foreign language will be spoken in Dalmatia, it will overrun the country, devastating all the land. 85 Under the severe authority of the old man with the flowing beard, at Lyons it is put above the Celtic Eagle. The small great one perseveres too far; noise of weapons in the sky, the Ligurian sea is red. 86 The fleet is wrecked near the Adriatic sea, the earth trembles, pushed into the air and falls again. Egypt trembles; Mahometan increase; the herald is sent to call out for surrender. 87 Afterwards there will come from a distant country a German prince upon the golden throne. Servitude met from over the seas. The lady subordinated, in the time no longer adored. 88 The completion of the great disastrous action, the name of the seventh will be that of the fifth. Of the third (name) a greater, foreign warmonger, Paris and Aix will not be kept in Aries. 89 One day the two great leaders will be friends; their great power will be seen to grow. The new land will be at the height of its power, to the man of blood the number is reported. 90 Through life and death the rule in Hungary will be changed, the law will become more bitter than servitude. Their great city calls out with howls and laments, Castor and Pollux are enemies in the field. 91 At sunrise a great fire will be seen, noise and light extending towards the North. Within the globe death and cries are heard, death awaiting them through weapons, fire and famine. 92 Fire the colour of gold from the sky seen on earth, struck by the high born one, a marvellous happening. Great slaughter of humanity; a nephew taken from the great one; the deaths of the spectators, the proud one escapes. 93 Very near the Tiber hurries death a short while before a great flood. The captain of the ship taken and put into the bilges, the castle and palace burnt down. 94 Great Po will receive great harm from a Frenchman, vain terror to the maritime Lion. An infinite number of people will cross the sea and a quarter of a million will not escape. 95 The populated lands will become uninhabitable, great disagreement in order to obtain lands. Kingdoms given to men incapable of prudence. Then for the great brothers, death and dissension. 96 A burning torch will be seen in the sky at night near the end and source of the Rh“ne. Famine and weapon; help provided too late, Persia will turn and invade Macedonia. 97 Roman pontiff beware of approaching a city watered by two rivers. You will spit blood in that place, both you and yours, when the roses bloom. 98 He whose face is spattered with the blood of a newly sacrificed victim. Jupiter in Leo forewarns through prediction. He will be put to death for the promise. 99 Roman land that the augur interprets, will be greatly molested by the French nation. But the French will come to dread the time of the North wind having driven their fleet too far. 100 Within the islands will be so dreadful a tumult although one only hears the warlike party. So great will be the threat of the plunderers that they will come to join in the great alliance. CENTURY THREE 1 After the combat and naval battle, great Neptune in his highest belfry; the red adversary will become pale with fear, putting the great ocean into a state of terror. 2 The divine word will give to the substance (that which) contains heaven and earth, occult gold in the mystic deed. Body, soul and spirit are all powerful. Everything is beneath his feet, as at the seat of heaven. 3 Mars, Mercury and the Moon in conjunction, towards the south there will be a great drought. An earthquake will be reported from the depths of Asia, both Corinth and Ephesus then in a troubled state. 4 When the downfall of the crescent ones is close they will not be very distant from each other. Cold, drought, danger around the frontiers even where the oracle had its source. 5 Then, after the eclipse of the two great stars which will occur between April & March. Oh, what a loss! but two great good influences will help on all sides by land and sea. 6 Lightning will strike inside the closed temple and will harm the citizens inside their stronghold. Horses, cattle, men, the flood will reach the walls; through hunger and thirst beneath the weakest armed. 7 The fugitives, fire from heaven on to their weapons, the next conflict will be that of the crows. They call on earth for help and heavenly aid when the aggressors draw near the walls. 8 The Cimbrians, allied with their neighbours will come to ravage almost all of Spain. People gathered in Guienne & Limousin will be allied, and join their company. 9 Bordeaux, Rouen & la Rochelle allied, will hold all around the open seas; The English, Bretons and Flemish allied will drive them as far as Roanne. 10 With blood and famine even greater calamity; seven times it approaches the sea shore. Monaco, from hunger, captured, in captivity. The great golden one caught, in an iron cage. 11 The weapons fight in the sky for a long period; the tree fell in the middle of the city. The sacred branch cut, a sword opposite Tison, then the King Hadrie falls. 12 Because of the overflow of the Ebro, Po, Tagus, Tiber and Rhone and by the lakes of Geneva and Arezzo the two great and chief cities of the Garonne taken, dead, drowned. Human booty divided. 13 Through lightning in the box gold and silver are melted, the two captives will devour each other. The greatest one of the city stretched when the fleet travels under water. 14 Through the offspring of a valiant personage, of weakened France because of the unhappy father; honours, riches, labour in his old age, because he believed the counsel of an inexperienced man. 15 The kingdom will change in heart, vigour and glory. On all sides having its adversary opposed. Then through death a child will rule over France, the great Regent will then be very contrary. 16 An English prince, Mars has his heart in the heavens, will wish to follow his prospering fortune. In two duels, one will pierce him in the gall bladder, hated by him, but well loved by his mother. 17 Mount Aventine will be seen burning at night, the sky in Flanders will be suddenly obscured. When the King drives out his nephew their churchmen will commit scandals. 18 After the rather long milky rain, several places in Reims will be touched by lightning. Oh what a bloody battle is approaching them, fathers and sons' Kings will not dare approach. 19 In Lucca it will come to rain blood and milk, shortly before a change of governor. Great plague and war, famine and drought will be seen, far from where the prince and ruler dies. 20 Through the lands of the great river Guadalquivir far from Spain to the kingdom of Grenanda; the cross spurned by the Mohammedans, a man from Cordova will betray his country. 21 Near the (river) Conca by the Adriatic sea will appear an horrible fish with human features and an aquatic purpose, it will be caught without a hook. 22 Six days the assault is made in front of the city. It will be freed in a strong and bitter fight. Three will hand it over, and to them pardon, to the rest fire and bloody slaughter and slashing. 23 If, France, you cross the Ligurian sea, you will find yourself besieged among islands and seas. Mahomet against you, more so the Adriatic, you will gnaw the bones of horses and asses. 24 From the expedition great confusion, immense loss of men and treasure. You must never attempt to expand there again. France, try to remember my prediction. 25 He who attains the kingdom of Navarre when Sicily and Naples are allies; het will hold Bigorre and Landes through Foix and Oloron from one who will be too strongly allied with Spain. 26 They will raise up idols of kings and princes, augurers and hollow priests elevated. A victim, its horns gilded with gold, azure, dazzling, the entrails will be interpreted. 27 The Libyan prince will be powerful in the West, the French will become so enamoured of Arabia; learned in letters he will condescend to translate the Arab Language into French. 28 One possessing few lands and of poor parentage through efforts and peace will attain to the empire. For a long time a young woman shall reign, never has a worse influence remained on the kingdom. 29 Two nephews will be brought up in differend places, a naval battle, fathers fallen to the ground. They will be greatly elevated by making war, to avenge their injury, the enemies overcome. 30 He who in the struggle with a weapon in deed of war will have carried off the prize from one greater than he. At night six will bring harm to his bed, naked without his armour he will suddenly be surprised. 31 On the (battle)fields of Media, Arabia and Armenia, two great armies will assemble three times; near the border of Araxum the establishment of great Suliman will fall to the ground. 32 The huge grave for the French people will approach from the direction of Italy. When war is near the German corner and in the lands of the Italian people. 33 Into the city which the wolf will enter, the enemies will be very close by; A foreign army will devastate the great country, the friends will pass the walls and Alps. 34 Then when the eclipse of the sun will be in broad daylight the monster will be seen. It will be interpreted quite differently; they will not care about expense, none will have provided for it. 35 In the deepest part of Western Europe a child will be born of poor family, who by his speech will entice many peoples. His reputation will grow even greater in the Kingdom of the East. 36 Burned, apoplectic but not dead, he will be found to have gnawed his hands; when the city will condemn the heretic who, it seemed to them, had changed their laws. 37 Before the assault a speech is proclaimed; Milan, deceived by the ambush is captured by the Eagle. The ancient walls are breached by cannon; in fire and blood few receive quarter. 38 The French people and a foreign nation beyond the mountains will be captured, killed and overcome. In a different month, near harvest time, by the Lords they will be put back into order. 39 The seven are in agreement for three months to subjugate the Apennines. But the storm and the cowardly Ligurian destroy them in sudden ruin. 40 The great theatre will be raised up again, the dice thrown and the nets already cast. The great one who tolls the death knell will become too tired, destroyed by bows split a long time ago. 41 The hunchback will be elected by the counsel, a more hideous monster on earth was never seen. The deliberate shot will pierce his eye, the traitor whom the king received as loyal. 42 The child will be born with two teeth in his mouth; stones will fall like rain in Tuscany. A few years later there will be neither wheat nor barley, to satisfy those who will weaken from hunger. 43 People from around the Tarn, Lot and Garonne, beware of crossing the Apennine mountains. Your tomb is near Rome and Ancona; the man with the dark, curly hair will set up a trophy. 44 When the animal tamed by man begins to speak after great efforts and difficulty, the lightning so harmful to the rod will be taken from the earth and suspended in the air. 45 The five foreigners having entered the temple; their blood will desecrate the land. The example made of the Toulousians will be very hard, made by the man who comes to wipe out their laws. 46 The heavens foretell, concerning the city of Lyons by means of clear skies and fixed stars, that suddenly the time of change approaches, neither for its good nor evil fortune. 47 The old king chased out of his realm will go to seek help from the people of the East: For fear of the crosses he will fold his banner; he will travel to Mitylene by land and sea. 48 Seven hundred captives roughly bound, the lots are drawn for half to be murdered; sudden hope will come so quickly, but not fast enough for about fifteen dead. 49 Kingdom of France you will be greatly changed, the empire expands to foreign places. You will be set up with other laws and customs; Rouen and Chartres will do their worst towards you. 50 The people's government of the great city will not consent to severe repression. The king, summoned by trumpets to leave the city, the ladder at the wall, the city will repent. 51 Paris conspires to commit a great murder. Blois will ensure that it is fully carried out. The people of Orl‚ans will want to replace their leader; Angers, Troyes and Langres will do them a disservice. 52 In the countryside there will be rain for so long and such a great drought in Apulia; the cock will see the Eagle, its wing badly finished put into difficulties by the Lion. 53 When the greatest man carries off the prize of Nuremberg, of Ausberg and those of Basle, Frankfurt retaken by the leader of Cologne: they will go through Flanders as far as France. 54 One of the great men will flee to Spain which will bleed with a great wound thereafter. Troops will pass over the high mountains devastating everything, then he will reign in peace. 55 In the year that France has a one-eyed king the court will be in very great trouble. The great man from Blois will kill his friend, the kingdom put into difficulty and double doubt. 56 Montauban, NŒmes, Avignon and B‚ziers, plague, lightning and hail at the end of March. Of the bridge at Paris, the wall at Lyons and Montpellier, since six hundred and seven score three pairs. 57 Seven times you will see the British nation change, dyed in blood for two hundred and ninety years. Not at all free through German support, Aries fears for the protectorate of Poland. 58 Near the Rhine from the Norican mountains will be born a great man of the people, come too late. He will defend Poland and Hungary and they will never know what became of him. 59 The barbarian empire is usurped by a third, the greater part of its people will be put to death. The fourth man,senile, struck dead by his country, fears lest the line of his blood be dead. 60 Throughout Asia there will be great proscription, also in Mysia, Lycia and Pamphilia. Blood will flow because of the absolution of a young dark man, filled with evil doing. 61 The great following of the sect of the cross will arise in Mesopotamia. Light company of the nearby river who will regard such a law as inimical. 62 Near the Douro closed by the Cyrenian sea he will come to cross the great mountains of the Pyrenees. The shortest hand and his opening noted, he will take his followers to Carcassonne. 63 Roman power will be quite put down following the footsteps of its great neighbour. Secret hatreds and civil disputes will delay the crassness of these buffoons. 64 The Persian leader will fill up great Spain. A fleet of triremes against the Mohammedans from Parthia and Media, he will pillage the Cyclades: then a long wait in the great Ionian harbour. 65 When the tomb of the great Roman is found a Pope will be elected the next day; he will not be approved of by the Senate, his blood poisonous in the sacred chalice. 66 The great Bailiff of Orl‚ans is condemned to death by one vindictive for blood. He will not die a deserved death, nor one by jurors; they will keep him captive inefficiently (bound) by his hands and feet. 67 A new set of philosophers despising death, gold, honours and riches will not be limited by the mountains of Germany, in their following will be crowds and support. 68 Leaderless people from Spain and Italy dead and overcome in the Peninsula. Their dictator betrayed by stupid folly, blood will flow all about in the area. 69 The great army led by a young man, will come to give itself up into the enemy's hands. But the old man born to the half pig will make Chƒlon and Mƒcon into friends. 70 Great Britain, including England will be covered by very deep floods. The new league in Ausonne will make war so that they will ally against them. 71 Those besieged in the islands for a long time will take strong measures against their enemies. Those outside, overcome will die of hunger, by such starvation as has never occurred before. 72 The good old man is buried while still alive, near a great river through false suspicion. The newcomer is old, ennobled by wealth, having taken all the ransom gold on the way. 73 When the lame man comes into the kingdom, a bastard, close to him will compete with him. Both he and the kingdom will be greatly trimmed before he recovers, so that his action will be too late. 74 Naples, Florence, Faenza and Imola will be on terms of such disagreement that to comply with the wretches of Nola they complain that they had mocked its chief. 75 Pau, Verona, Vicenza, Saragossa, swords dripping with blood from distant lands. A very great plague will come with the great shell, relief near, but the remedies far away. 76 Various sects will arise in Germany which will come near to a happy paganism. The heart captive, the returns smaal, they will return to pay the true tithe. 77 The third climate included under Aries, in the year 1727 in October the king of Persia, captured by those of Egyps: battle, death, loss: great shame to the cross. 78 The leader from Scotland with six Germans will be captured by Eastern seamen. They will pass Gibraltar and Spain, presented in Persia to the new dreadful king. 79 The fatal and eternal order of the cycle will turn in due order. The chains of Marseilles will be broken, the city taken and the enemy at the same time. 80 The unworthy man is chased out of the English kingdom. The counsellor through anger will be burnt. His followers will stoop to such depths that the pretender will almost be received. 81 The great speechmaker, shameless and bold will be elected governor of the army. The boldness of his contention, the broken bridge, the city faint from fear. 82 Fr‚jus, Antibes, the towns around Nice will be greatly devastated by land and sea; the locusts, by land and sea, the wind being favourable, captured, dead, trussed up, plundered without law of war. 83 The long-haired people of Celtic Gaul, joined by foreign nations will capture the people of Acquitaine in order that they should succumb to their plans. 84 The great city will soon be quite deserted, not a single one of the inhabitants will remain. Wall, sex, temple and virgin violated, people will die from plague and cannon shot. 85 The city is taken by trickery and deceit, captured by means of a handsome young man. An assault is made by Raubine near LAUDE, he and all of them dead, for having deceived so well. 86 A leader from Italy will go to Spain by sea and he will make a stop at Marseilles. He will linger a long time before dying, after his death great wonders will be seen. 87 French fleet, do not approach Corsica; even less Sardinia, you will regret it. You will all die, the help from the cape in vain, captive, swimming in blood, you will not believe me. 88 From Barcelona such a great army by sea, all Marseilles will tremble with terror. The islands seized, help cut off by sea, your traitor will swim on land. 89 At that time Cyprus will be deprived of its help from those of the Aegean sea. Old men slaughtered, but by cannons and supplications, the king is won over, the queen more outraged. 90 The great Satyr and Tiger of Hyrcania; gift presented to the people of the Ocean: the leader of a fleet will come forth from Carmania and land at the Phocea of Tyre. 91 The tree which had been dead and withered for a long time will flourish again in one night. The old king will be sickly. The prince with a damaged foot, fear of his enemies will make him hoist sail. 92 The world is near its final period, Saturn will again be late on his return. The empire will shift towards the Brodde nation; An eye at Narbonne plucked out by a goshawk. 93 In Avignon, the leader of all the Empire will make a stop because Paris is deserted. Tricast will contain the African anger, the Lion will be poorly consoled by the change. 94 For five hundred years more they will take notice of him who was the ornament of his age. Then suddenly a great revelation will be made which will make people of that (same) century well pleased. 95 The Moorish law will be seen to fail, followed by another that is more pleasing. The Dnieper will be the first to give way through gifts and tongues to another more appealing. 96 The leader from Fossano will have his throat cut by the man who exercised the bloodhounds and greyhounds. The deed will be committed by those of the Tarpean rock, when Saturn is in Leo on 13th February. 97 A new law will occupy a new land around Syria, Judea and Palestine. The great barbarian Empire will crumble before the century of the sun is finished. 98 Two royal brothers will fight so fiercely and the feud between them will be so deadly that both will live in fortified places. Their great quarrel will concern their lives and the kingdom. 99 In the green fields of Alleins and Vernegues of the Luberon mountains near Durance, the fighting on both sides will be so bitter for the armies that Mesopotamia shall cease to be found in France. 100 The man least honoured among the French will be victorious over his enemy. Strength and lands he explored in action, when suddenly the envious one dies from the shot. CENTURY FOUR 1 The remaining blood will not be spilt, Venice seeks for help to be given. Having waited for a very long time the city is handed over at the first trumpet blast. 2 Because of a death France will undertake a journey, the fleet at sea, marching over the Pyrenean mountains. Spain will be troubled, an army will march, some of the greatest ladies brought into France. 3 From Arras and Bourges great banners from the Dark Ones, a greater number of Gascons fight on foot. Those along the Rh“ne will make the Spanish bleed. Near the mountain seat of Sagunto. 4 The powerless prince is angered, complaints & quarrels, rape and pillage, by the cock and by the Libyans. It is great on land, at sea innumerable sails; Italy alone will be driving out the Celts. 5 Cross, peace under one the divine word achieved. Spain and Gaul will be united. A great disaster is close, the fighting very ferocious, no heart so brave as will not tremble. 6 After the truce is made, new clothes will be put on, malice, conspiracy and plotting. He who will prove it is the first to die, the colour of Venetian treachery. 7 The younger son of a great and hated prince, will be greatly marked by leprosy by the time he is twenty. His mother will die of grief, very sad and thin, and he will die when the cowardly flesh falls (from his bones). 8 The great city will be surprised at night by a sudden and quick assault. The guards interrupted; the watch and guards of St Quentin slaughtered, the guards and the gates broken down. 9 The leader of the army in the middle of the crowd is wounded in the thighs with an arrow. When Geneva in trouble and distress is betrayed by Lausanne and the Swiss. 10 The young Prince, falsely accused, will put the camp into quarrels and trouble. The leader is murdered for his support to appease the crown: then he cures the king's evil. 11 He who will have government of the great cloak will be led to execute in certain cases. The twelve red ones will come to spoil the cover, under murder, murder will be perpetrated. 12 The greatest army on the march put to flight will scarcely be pursued further. The army reassembled and the legion reduced, they will then be driven out of France completely. 13 News of the great loss is brought; the report will astonish the camp. Bands unite against those revolting, the double phalanx will forsake the great one. 14 The sudden death of the leading personnage will have changed and put another to rule. Soon, but too late come to high position, of young age, by land and sea it will be necessary to fear him. 15 From the place where he will think to bring famine, from there will come the relief. The eye of the sea, like a covetous dog; the one will give oil and wheat to the other. 16 The free city of liberty is enslaved, it becomes the refuge of profligates and dreamers. The king changes and is not so ferocious towards them. From one hundred they will become more than a thousand. 17 Changes at Beaune, Nuits, Chalon & Dijon, the Duke wishes to improve the Carmelites. Walking near the river, a fish, a diving (bird's) beak, towards the tail; the gate will be locked. 18 Some of the most learned men in the heavenly arts will be reprimanded by ignorant Princes; punished by an Edict, driven out as scoundrels and put to death wherever they are found. 19 The Insubrians lay siege in front of Rouen, the passages closed by land and sea. By Hainaut & Flanders, by Ghent and those of Liege, through cloaked gifts they will ravage the shores. 20 Peace and plenty for a long time the place will praise: the fleur de lis deserted throughout the kingdom. Bodies dead by water, they will be brought to land there, waiting in vain for the opportunity of being buried. 21 The change will be very difficult. Both city and province will gain by it. A prudent man highly placed out by the cunning one. By land and sea people will change their estate. 22 The great army which will be driven out at one moment will be needed by the King. The faith promised from afar will be broken, he will see himself with nothing, in pitiful disorder. 23 The legion in the marine fleet will burn, lime, magnesia, sulphur and pitch. The long rest in a safe place; Port Selin, Monaco will be consumed by fire. 24 The faint voice of a woman is heard under the holy ground. Human flame shines for the divine voice. It will cause the earth to be stained with the blood of celibates and destroy the holy temples for the wicked. 25 The heavenly bodies endlessly visible to the eye come to cloud (the intellect) for these reasons. The body, together with the forehead, senses and head all invisible, as the sacred prayers diminish. 26 The great swarm of bees will arise but no one will know whence they have come, the ambush by night, the sentinel under the vines, a city handed over by fire tongues not naked. 27 Salon, Mansol, Tarascon, the arch of SEX: where the pyramid is still standing. They will come to deliver the Prince of Denmark, a shameful ransom to the temple of Artemis. 28 When Venuw will be covered by the sun, under the splendour will be a hidden form. Mercury will have exposed them to the fire, by a rumour of war will be affronted. 29 The hidden Sun eclipsed by Mercury will be placed only second in the heavens. Hermes will be made the food of Vulcan, the Sun will be seen pure, shining and golden. 30 More than eleven times the Moon will not want the Sun, both raised and lessened in degree. Put so low that one will sew little gold: after famine and plague the secret will be discovered. 31 The Moon, in the middle of the night over the high mountain, the young wise man alone with his brain has seen it. Invited by his disciples to become immortal, his eyes to the south, his hands on his breast, his body in the fire. 32 In those times and places that meat gives way to fish the common law will be made in opposition. The old (order) will hold strong, then removed from the scene, then all things common among friends put far behind. 33 Jupiter joined more to Venus than to the Moon appearing in a white fullness. Venus hidden under the whiteness of Neptune struck by Mars by the engraved wand. 34 The great man led captive from a foreign land, chained in gold, offered to King CHYREN. He who in Ausonia, Milan, will lose the war and all his army put to fire and sword. 35 The fire put out, the virgins will betray the greater part of the new band; lightning in sword, lances alone will guard the king, Tuscany and Corsica, by night throats slit. 36 New games are set up in Gaul, after the victory of the Insubrian campaign. The mountains of Hesperia, the great ones tied and bound. Romania and Spain will tremble with fear. 37 The Gauls will penetrate the mountains in leaps and occupy the great seat of Insubria. He will make his army go deep (into the land), Genoa and Monaco will repulse the red fleet. 38 While the Duke occupies the King and Queen, the Byzantine leader is held captive in Greece. Before the attack one will devour the other. The metalled reverse will follow the trail of blood. 39 The people of Rhodes will demand help, abandoned by the neglect of their heirs. The Arab Empire will assess its course, its cause revived again by the West. 40 The fortress of the besieged shut up by gunpowder sunk into its depths; the traitor will be entombed alive, never did so pitiful a schism happen to the sextons. 41 A female (sex) captive as a hostage will come by night to deceive the guards. The leader of the camp deceived by her language will leave her to the people, it will be pitiful to see. 42 Geneva and Langres through the people of Chartres and D“le and Grenoble, captive at Montelimar: Seysel, Lausanne, through a fraudulent trick will betray them for sixty gold marks. 43 Weapons will be heard fighting in the skies: in the same year the divine are enemies: they will want unjustly to query the holy laws, through lightning and war many believers put to death. 44 The two large one of Mende, of Rodez and Milhau, Cahors and Limoges, Castres a bad week: by night the entry; from Bordeaux an insult, through Perigord at the peal of the bell. 45 Through a battle the king will abandon his kingdom, the greatest leader will fail in time of need. Dead, ruined, few will escape it all cut down, save one who will be a witness. 46 The deed, through its excellence, strongly forbidden, Tours, beware of your approaching ruin. London and Nantes will make a defence through Reims. Do not go further afield at the time of the fog. 47 When the ferocious king will have exercised his bloody hand through fire, the sword and the bended bow. All the nation will be so terrified seeing the great ones hanging by their neck and feet. 48 The plains of Ausonia, rich and wide, will produce so many gadflies and grasshoppers, that the light of the sun will be clouded over. They will devour everything and a great pestilence will come from them. 49 Blood will be spilt in front of the people, which will not go far from the high heavens. But for a long time it will not be heard, the spirit of a single man will bear witness to it. 50 Libra will be seen to reign in the West, holding the rule over the skies and earth. No one will see the strength of Asia destroyed until seven hold the hierarchy in succession. 51 A Duke eager to follow his enemy will enter in, hindering the phalanx. Hurried on foot they follow so closely that the day of the battle is near Ganges. 52 In the besieged city men and women at the walls, the enemy without, the leader ready to surrender; the wind will be strong against the armed men, they will be driven off by lime, dust and cinders. 53 The fugitives and the banished are recalled, fathers and sons strengthening the deep wells. The cruel father and his followers suffocated; His most wicked son drowned in the well. 54 Of a name which never held by a French king, never was there so fearful a thunderbolt. Italy, Spain and the English tremble; he will be greatly attentive to foreign women. 55 When the crow on a tower made of brick will do nothing but croak for seven hours; it foretells death, a statue stained with blood, a tyrant murdered, people praying to their Gods. 56 After the victory of the raging tongue, the spirit tempted in tranquil rest. Throughout the battle the bloody victor makes speeches, roasting the tongue, the flesh and the bones. 57 Ignorant envy supported by the great king, will propose forbidding the writings. His wife, not his wife, tempted by another, no longer will the double dealing couple protest against it. 58 To swallow the burning sun in the throat, the Tuscan land sprinkled with human blood, the leader leads his son away, the pail of water, a captive lady led into Turkish lands. 59 Two besieged in a burning heat, killed by thirst for want of two full cups; the fort filed, and an old dreamer will show the tracks of Nira to the Genevans. 60 The seven children left in hostage, the third will come to slaughter his child. Two will be pierced by a hook because of his son, he will come to strike against Genoa and Florence. 61 The old man, mocked and deprived of his position by the foreigner who will suborn him. The hands of his sons are devoured before his face, he will betray his brother at Chartres, Orl‚ans and Rouen. 62 A colonel intrigues through ambition, he will seize the greater part of the army. Against his Prince a false invention; he will be discovered under his flag. 63 The Celtic army against the mountaineers, who will be revealed and caught in a trap. The fresh bracken will soon be pressed by the peasants, they will all perish on the sword's blade. 64 The defaulter, dressed as a citizen will come to try the king with his offence; Fifteen soldiers, for the most part outlaws, the end of his life and the greater part of his estate. 65 To the deserter of the great fortress, after he will have abandoned his post, his adversary will display such prowess that the Emperor will soon be condemned to death. 66 Under the false colours of seven shaven heads several spies will be scattered. The wells and springs will be sprinkled with poisons, at the fort of Genoa, they devour human flesh. 67 In the year that Saturn and Mars are equally fiery, the air is very dry, a long meteor. From hidden fires a great place burns with heat, little rain, a hot wind, wars and raids. 68 At a nearby place not far from Venus, the two greatest ones of Asia and Africa will be said to have come from the Rhine and Hitler; cries and tears at Malta and the ligurian coast. 69 The exiles will hold the great city, the citizens are dead, murdered and driven out. The people of Aqualeia will promise Parma to show them the entrance by untrodden paths. 70 Very near the great mountains of the Pyrenees, a man will raise a great army against the Eagle. Veins will be opened, strength disappears; the leader will chase them as far as the Pau. 71 Instead of a bride the girls are slaughtered, murder with such wickedness, there will be no survivors. The vestals are drowned in the wells, and the bride killed by a draught of Aconile. 72 The Artomiques through Agen & Lectoure will hold their parliament at St Felix. Those of Bazas will come at an unfortunate time to seize Condom & Marsan promptly. 73 The nephew shall prove by great strength the crime committed by a cowardly heart. The Duke will try Ferrara and Asti; then when the comedy takes place in the evening. 74 The people of Lake Geneva and of Mƒcon, all gathered against the people of Aquitaine; many Germans, even more Swiss will be routed together with those of Maine. 75 He who was ready to fight will desert, the chief adversary will win the victory. The rear guard will make a defence, those faltering, dying in a white country. 76 The people of Agen by those of Perigord will be troubled as far as the Rh“ne. The association of Gascons & Bigorre, betrays the Church, the priest giving his sermon. 77 SELIN king, Italy peaceful, kingdoms united by the Christian king of the world. When he dies, he will want to lie in Blois territory, having chased the pirates from the sea. 78 The great army of the civil war, Parma taken at night by foreigners. Seventy- nine murdered in the town, the foreigners all put to the sword. 79 Flee, royal blood, Monheurt, Mas, Aiguillon, the Landes will be full of people from Bourdeaux. Navarre, Bigorre, points and spurs, deeply hungry they devour acorns of the cork oak. 80 Near the great river, a great trench, earth excavated, the water will be divided into fifteen parts. The city taken, fire, blood, cries and battle given, the greater part concerned with the collision. 81 A bridge will quickly be built from boats, to cross the army of a great Belgian Prince. Poured forth inside not far from Brussels, having passed over, seven will be cut down by a pike. 82 A mass of men will draw near, coming from Slavonia, the Destroyer will ruin the old city; he will see his Romania quite desolated, then will not know how to extinguish the great flame. 83 In a night battle the brave captain is overcome and flees, ruined by a few men. His people are moved, they agitate successfully, his own son will hold him besieged. 84 An important man from Auxerre will die very wretchedly, driven out by the people who were under him. Bound in chains, then with a strong rope, the year that Mars, Venus and the Sun are in conjunction in the summer. 85 The white coal is driven out by the black, made a prisoner, let to the tumbril: his feet are tied together like a rogue, when the last born will let slip the falcon. 86 In the year Saturn is in conjunction with Aquarius, and with the Sun, the very powerful king will be received and anointed at Reims & Aix. After conquests he will murder innocent people. 87 The son of a king, having learnt many languages, different from his elder in the kingdom. His father-in-law understanding well the elder son, will cause the main adherent to perish. 88 Anthony, great in name, in his actions base, at the end will be devoured by lice. One who is eager for lead, passing the harbour will be drowned by the elected one. 89 Thirty Londoners will secretly conspire against their king, the enterprise on the sea. He and his courtiers will not like death, a fair king elected, native of Friesland. 95 The rule left to two, they will hold it a very short time. Three years and seven months having passed they will go to war. The two vestals will rebel against them; the victor then born on American soil. 96 The elder sister of the island of Britain will be born fifteen years before her brother. Because of his promise proving to be true, she will succeed to the kingdom of the Balance. 97 In the year that Mercury, Mars and Venus are retrograde, the family line of the great King will not fail. Elected by the Portuguese people near Cadiz, who in peace will grow very old in his kingdom. 98 The people of Alba will cross into Rome, by means of Langres the multitude are weakened. The Marquis and the Duke will spare no man, fire, blood and smallpox, no water, the crops will fail. 99 The brave eldest son of a king's daughter will drive the Celts back very far. He will use thunderbolts, so many in such an array, few and distant, then deep into the West. 100 Fire will fall from the sky on to the royal building when the light of war is weakened. For seven months a great war, people dead through evil, Rouen and Evreux will not fail the king. CENTURY FIVE 1 Before the ruin of France, there will be parliamentary discussions about the second. Stabbed to the heart by one riding on a charger with a lance, they will bury the great one secretly. 2 Seven conspirators at a banquet will cause their weapons to flash against the three who come from the ship. One of the two will take the fleet to the leader when the other will shoot him in the forehead through his armour. 3 The successor to the Duchy will come from far beyond the sea of Tuscany. A French branch will hold Florence, in its wake a nautical agreement (with the frog?). 4 The great mastiff is driven out of the city, angered by the foreign alliance. Later having chased the stag to the field, the wolf and the bear will defy each other. 5 Beneath the faint pretext of removing servitude, the people and the city will themselves usurp power. He will do worse because of the trickery of the young whore, delivered in the field, reading the false promise. 6 The Augur will put his hand on the king's head and pray for peace in Italy. The sceptre will be changed to his left hand, from king he will become a peaceful Emperor. 7 The bones of the Triumvir will be found by those searching for a deep and enigmatic treasure. Those around will not be peaceful. This hollowing of marble and metallic lead. 8 There will be let loose living fire and hidden death, fearful inside dreadful globes. By night the city will be reduced to rubble by the fleet, the city on fire, helpful to the enemy. 9 At the foot of the great fallen arch, the friend is captured forestalled by the leader. A woman will bear a son whose face and forehead are covered with hair; then through cunning the Duke escapes death. 10 A French leader wounded in the struggle sees his subjects struck dead near the theatre. Hustled by enemies with bloody wounds, he will be saved from the four by unknown people. 11 Those of the sun will not cross the sea in safety, the people of Venus will hold the whole of Africa. Then Saturn occupies their kingdom no longer and the part of Asia will change. 12 Near Lake Geneva he will be led by a foreign woman who wants to betray the city. Before her death a great retinue will come to Augsburg. They will come to invade the people of the Rhine. 13 In a great rage the Roman king will wish to trouble Belgium with barbarian warriors. In a gnashing fury he will chase the Libyan peoples from Hungary as far as Gilbraltar. 14 Saturn and Mars in Leo, Spain is captive, taken in battle by a Libyan leader. Near when Malta and (the knights of) Rhodes are captured alive, and the Roman power smitten by the cock. 15 While sailing, the great Pope will be captured; great preparations by the troubled clerics fail. The second elected absent, his power declines, his favourite bastard, put to death. 16 The Sabine tears will no longer be of value, human flesh through death is burnt to ashes; the island of Pharos disturbed by (man of) the cross, when at Rhodes a dreadful sight is seen. 17 The king, passing at night through a narrow lane, the man from Cyprus is the main guard; the king dies, the hand flees the length of the Rh“ne: the conspirators will put him to death. 18 The wretched man, destroyed, will die of grief. His victorious consort will celebrate the ceremonies. Former laws, free edicts drawn up, both the Prince and the wall fall on the seventh day. 19 The great golden Royal, augmented by brass breaks the covenant; war is started by a young man. The people are afflicted by a lamented leader, the land will be covered with barbarian blood. 20 A great Army will cross over the Alps. A short while before a wretched monster will be born. In a strange way, suddenly, the great Tuscan will return to his native land. 21 By the death of a Latin king, those people whom he will have assisted during his reign; the fire glows, the booty is shared out; public death for the bold incursors. 22 Before the great man gives up his soul at Rome, there is much fear among the foreign army. The ambush by the squadrons takes place near Parma, then the two red ones will feast together. 23 The two contented men are united together when most (planets) are conjunct with Mars. The African leader trembles in terror. THE TWIN ALLIANCE scattered by the fleet. 24 The kingdom and law raised under Venus, Saturn will dominate Jupiter. Law and empire raised by the Sun, will endure the worst throught those of Saturn. 25 The Arab Prince, Mars, the Sun, Venus and Leo, the rule of the Church will succumb to the sea. Towards Persia very nearly a million men will invade Egypt and Byzantium, the true serpent. 26 The Slav people, through fortune in war, will become elevated to a high degree. They will change their Prince, one born a provincial; an army raised in the mountains to cross over the sea. 27 With fire and weapons, not far from the Black Sea, he will come from Persia to occupy Trebizond. Pharos and Mytilene tremble, the Sun is bright, the Adriatic sea covered with Arab blood. 28 His arm hung and his leg bound, with pale face and a dagger hidden in his breast: Three who will be sworn in the scuffle, against the great one of Genoa will the blade be drawn. 29 Liberty will not be regained; it will be occupied by a black, proud, villainous and unjust man. When the matter of the Pope is opened by Hitler, the republic of Venice will be vexed. 30 All around the great City soldiers will be billeted in fields and towns. Paris will make the assault, Rome incited: there will be great pillage made against the Pont(iff). 31 From the land of Attica, source of all wisdom which at the present is the rose of the world: the Pont(iff) ruined, its great pre-eminence will be subjected and wrecked beneath the waves. 32 Where all is good, all well abundant, in Sun and Moon its ruin approaches. It comes from heaven as you boast of your fortune, in the same state as the seventh rock. 33 Some of the principal citizens of the rebellious city who will try hard to regain their liberty; the men are cut up, unhappy confusion; Cries, groans at Nantes pitiful to see. 34 From the deepest part of the English West where is the leader of the British Isles; a fleet will enter Gironde through Blois, through wine and salt, fires hidden in casks. 35 For the free city of the great crescent sea, which still carries the stone in its stomach, an English fleet will come in under the mist to seize a branch, war opened by the great one. 36 The sister's brother through feigned deceit will come to mix dew into the mineral. On the cake given to ghe slow old woman who dies tasting it, she will be simple and rustic. 37 Three hundred will be of one agreement and accord to come to the execution of their end; twenty months later, after all remembrance, their king is betrayed pretending a feigned hatred. 38 He who succeeds upon the death of a great king will lead an illicit and debauched life. Through carelessness he will give way to all so that in the end Salic law will fail. 39 Issued from the true branch of the fleur de lis, placed and lodged as heir to Etruria: his ancient family line woven by many hands, will make the armorial bearings of Florence flower. 40 The Royal blood will be very mixed, the French will be restrained by the West. They will wait until his term of office has ended, and the memory of his voice has perished. 41 Born beneath the shadows on a dark day, he will be sovereign in ruling and in goodness. He will cause his blood to revive the ancient urn, renewing the century of gold for one of brass. 42 A warlike man raised to the heights will bring about the return of Savoy to France. The people from Lombardy will cause such great fear to those of the Eagle included under the Balance. 43 The great ruin of the clergy is not far off, Provence, Naples, Sicily, Sees and Pons. In Germany at the Rhine and Cologne, vexed to death by those of Maine. 44 On the sea the red one will be taken by pirates and because of him peace will be troubled. He will reveal anger and greed through a false act; the army of the great Pontiff will be doubled. 45 The great Empire will soon be desolated and changed near the forest of Ardennes. The two bastards will be beheaded by the oldest, Aenodarb, will rule, the hawk-nosed one. 46 Quarrels and new schisms by the red hats when the Sabins will have been elected. They will produce great sophisms against him and Rome will be injured by those of Albania. 47 The great Arab will march well to the fore, he will be betrayed by the Byzantians: ancient Rhodes will come forward to meet him and greater harm through the other Hungarians. 48 After the great affliction of the sceptre two enemies will be defeated by them. A fleet from Africa will come forth to the Hungarians; dreadful deeds will occur on land and sea. 49 Not from Spain but from ancient France will he be elected for the trembling ship. He will make a promise to the enemy who will cause great plague during his reign. 50 The year that the brothers of the lily come of age one of them will hold great Romania. The mountains tremble, a Latin passage is opened; a treaty to march against the fort of Armenia. 51 The people of Dacia, England and Poland and Czechoslovakia will form a new alliance. In order to pass beyond the straights of Gibraltar the Spanish and the Italians will hatch a cruel plot. 52 There will be a king who will give opposition, the exiles elected over the kingdom. The chaste, poor ones swim in blood and he will flourish for a long time under this standard. 53 The law of the Sun contending with Venus, appropriating the spirit of prophecy. Neither the one nor the other will be understood; the law of the great Messiah retained through the Sun. 54 From beyond the Black Sea and great Tartary, there will be a king who will come to see France. He will pass through Alania and Armenia and leave his bloody rod in Byzantium. 55 In the fortunate country of Arabia will be born one powerful in the laws of Mahomet. He will trouble Spain and conquer Grenada and most of the Ligurian nation from the sea. 56 Through the death of the very old Pope will be elected a Roman of good age. It will be said of him that he weakens the (Holy) Seat, but he will hold it long and with stinging effort. 57 There will go forth from Montgaulfier and the Aventine one, who through a hole will warn the army. The booty will be taken between two rocks. The renown of Sextus the celibate will fail. 58 By the aqueduct of UzŠs by Gard, through the forest and inaccessible mountain; in the middle of the bridge he will be cut in the hand, the chief of NŒmes who will be very terrible. 59 The English chief stays too long at NŒmes, towards Spain Aenobarbe to the rescue. Many will die through war started on that day, when a bearded star falls in Artois. 60 Through the shaven heads he will be seen to have been wrongly elected. Burdened with a load he cannot carry. He will be made to proclaim with such great fury and rage that all one sex will be cut to pieces by fire and blood. 61 The child of the great man, not through his birth, will subjugate the high Apennine mountains. He will make all those under the Balance tremble, fire from the mountains as far as Mount Cenis. 62 Blood will be seen to rain on the rocks, Sun in the East, Saturn in the West. War near Orgon, a great evil seen near Rome, ships sunken and the trident taken. 63 From the useless enterprise honour and undue complaint, boats wandering among the Latins, cold, hunger, waves; Not far from the Tiber the land stained with blood and there will be several plagues upon mankind. 64 Those assembled through the calm of the great number, countermanded by land and sea; near Autonne, Genoa, the shadow of Nice, revolution against the leader through fields and towns. 65 Suddenly appeared, the terror will be great, hidden by the ringleaders of the affair. The women on the charcoal will no longer be seen; thus, little by little, the great ones will be angered. 66 Under the ancient buildings of the vestals not far from the ruin of the aquaduct. There will be the glittering metals of Sun and Moon, the golden lamp of Trojan burning, pillaged. 67 When the great head of Perugia dare not risk his tunic, without any cover and strip himself quite naked. The seven aristocrats will be taken, father and son dead through a wound in the throat. 68 The great Camel will come to drink of the Danube and the Rhine, and will not repent of it. Those of the Rh“ne tremble and even more so those of the Loire; near the Alps the cock will ruin him. 69 The great one will no longer be in a false sleep; unease will take the place of repose. The phalanx of gold, blue and vermilion to subdue Africa and gnaw it down to the very bone. 70 Some of the regions subject to the Balance will trouble the mountains with a great war. The entire sex will be captured, enthralled, and all Byzantium, so that at dawn they will call from land to land. 71 By the fury of one who will wait for the water, by the great rage that moves all the army; seventeen boats loaded with nobles, the messenger comes too late along the Rh“ne. 72 For the pleasure of an edict of vice, poison will be mixed with the law. At Court, Venus will be so virtuous, that all the glory of the sun will be obscured. 73 The Church of God will be persecuted, and the holy temples will be pillaged; the mother will put out the child, naked in a shift. The Arabs will ally with the Poles. 74 Of Trojan blood he will be born with a German hearth and will rise to very great power. He will drive out the foreign, Arabic nation and return the Church to her early glory. 75 He will rise high over his wealth, more to the right, he will remain seated on the square stone, towards the south placed at the window, a crooked staff in his hand, his mouth sealed. 76 In a free place he will pitch his tent, he will not want to stay in the cities. Aix, Carpentras, L'lle Vaucluse, Montfavet, Cavaillon, in all these places he will abolish his trace. 77 All degrees of ecclesiastical honour will be changed to Jupiter and Quirinus. A priest of Quirinus in martial guise then a king of France will make him a man of Vulcan. 78 The two will not remain allied for long; within the thirteen years they give in to barbarian power. There will be such a loss on both sides, that one will bless the bark (of Peter) and its leader. 79 The sacred pomp will come to lower its wings at the coming of the great law giver. He will raise the humble and trouble the rebellious; his like will not again appear on earth. 80 Ogmios will approach great Byzantium, the barbarian league will be driven out. Of the two laws the pagan one will fail, barbarian and freeman in perpetual struggle. 81 The royal bird over the city of the sun will give a nightly warning for seven months; the wall in the East will fall, thunder and lightning, in seven days the enemies directly to the gates. 82 At the conclusion of the treaty outside the fortress he will not go who is overcome with despair. When the people of Arbois, Langres, against Bresse, will have an enemy ambush at the mountains of D“le. 83 Those who will have an undertaking to subvert an unparalleled kingdom, powerful and invincible. They will deceive, warn of three nights, when the greatest one is reading his Bible at the table. 84 Born of the gulf and the immeasurable city, born of parents both obscure and dark. He who will wish to destroy the power of the great, revered king through Rouen and Evereux. 85 Through the Swiss and surrounding areas they will war because of the clouds. A swarm of marine locusts and gnats, the faults of Geneva will be laid quite bare. 86 Divided by the two heads and three arms, the great city will be troubled by water. Some of the great men among them, wandering in exile; Byzantium is hard pressed by the leader of Persia. 87 In the year that Saturn is freed from servitude the Frankish territory will be inundated by water. His marriage will be of Trojan blood and he will be closely encircled by the Spaniards. 88 Through a dreadful flood on the sand a marine monster will be found from other seas. A refuge will be made near the place, holding Savona the slave to Turin. 89 Into Hungary through Bohemia, Navarre and by the banner feigned sedition. The country of the fleur de lis carrying the bar; they will cause disturbances against Orl‚ans. 90 In the Cyclades, in Perinthus and Larissa, in Sparta and all of the Peloponnesus; a very great famine, plague through false dust: it will last nine months throughout the whole peninsula. 91 At the great market, called that of the liars, of all Torrent and the field of Athens: they will be surprised by the light armed horses, by the Albanians, when Mars is in Leo, and Saturn in Aquarius. 92 After the See has been held seventeen years, five will change within the same period of time. Then one will be elected at the same time who will not be too agreeable to the Romans. 93 Under the land of the round moonlike globe, when Mercury is at the height of his powers. The island of Scotland will produce a leader, who will put the English into confusion. 94 He will change into the Greater Germany, Brabant and Flanders, Ghent, Bruges and Boulogne. The truce feigned, the great Duke of Armenia will assault Vienna and Cologne. 95 The nautical oar will invite the shadows and then come to provoke the great Empire. In the Aegean sea the remains of (bits of) wood, obstruct the Tyrrhenian sea and impede it. 96 The rose upon the middle of the world, because of new deeds, public blood is shed; to speak the truth they will have closed mouths, then, at time of need the awaited one will come late. 97 One born deformed, suffocated through horror in the city inhabited by the great king. The severe edict of the captives is revoked, hail and thunder, Condon too great. 98 At the forty-eighth degree of the climacteric, the end of Cancer there is a very great drought. Fish in the sea, river and the lake boiled hectic, Bearn and Bigorre in distress from fire in the sky. 99 Milan, Ferrare, Turin & Aquileia, Capua and Brindisi vexed by the Celtic nation: by the lion and his eagle-like phalanx, when Rome will have the old British chief. 100 The incendiary trapped in his own fire; fire from the sky at Carcassonne and Comminges: Foix Auch & Mazeres, the important old man escaped, through those of Hesse and Thuringia and some Saxons. CENTURY SIX 1 Around the Pyrenean mountains a great throng of foreign people will help the new king. Near the great temple of Mas by the Garonne, a Roman leader will fear him on the water. 2 In the year five hundred and eighty more or less one will await a very strange century. In the year seven hundred and three, the skies as witness that several kingdoms, one to five, will make a change. 3 The river that the newborn French heir attempts; there will be great discord among the empire. The young prince, because of the ecclesiastics will remove peace from crown and sceptre. 4 The French river will change course and no longer surround the city of Agrippina; all changed except the old language, Saturn in Leo, Mars plundering in Cancer. 5 A very great famine (caused) by a pestilent wave will extend its long rain the length of the Arctic pole. Samarobrin one hundred leagues from the hemisphere; they will live without law, exempt from politics. 6 He will appear towards the North, not far from the bearded star in Cancer; Susa, Siena, Boetia, Eretria, the great man of Rome will die, the night dispersed. 7 Norway and Dacia and the British Isles, will be troubled by the united brothers. The Roman leader, came from French blood; the forces thrust back into the forests. 8 Those who were in the kingdom for knowledge will become impoverished by a royal change. Some exiled without support, having no gold, neither learning nor the learned will be held of much value. 9 In the sacred temples scandals will be committed, they will be thought of as honours and praiseworthy. By one whom they engrave on silver, gold and medals; the end will be in very strange torments. 10 In a short time the colours of temples; with black and white, the two will be intermingled. The red and yellow ones will carry off their (possessions), blood, earth, plague, hunger, fire, maddened by thirst. 11 The seven branches will be reduced to three, the elder ones will be surprised by death. Two will be attracted towards fratricidal (strife): the conspirators will die while asleep. 12 To raise forces to ascend to Empire from the Vatican the Royal blood will hold fast. Flemish, English, Spain with Aspire: he will fight against France and Italy. 13 A doubtful one will not come far from the kingdom the greater part will wish to support time. A Capitol will not want him to reign: he will not be able to bear his great burden. 14 Far from his country, a king will lose the battle; quickly escaped, he is followed and taken. The ignorant one taken under the golden chain-mail under a false garment, and the enemy surprised. 15 Under the tome will be found a Prince, who will have taken him above Nuremberg. The Spanish king, Capricorn thin, deceived and betrayed by the great Wittemberg. 16 That which the young hawk will carry off, by the Normans of France and Picardy. The black ones of the temple at the Black wood will make an inn and fire at Lombardy. 17 After the penances are burned the ass drivers will be forced to change into different clothing. Those of Saturn burnt by the millers, except the greater part which will not be covered. 18 The great king deserted by the physicians lives through chance not the skill of the Jew. He and his people placed high in the realm, pardon given to the race which denies Christ. 19 The true flame will swallow up the woman who will want to put the Innocents to the fire. Near the assault, the army is inflamed, when in Seville a monstrous ox will be seen. 20 The feigned union will last a short time, some changed, the greater part reformed. People will be suffering in the vessels, then when Rome has a new Leopard. 21 When those of the Northern pole are united together in the East will be great fear and dread. A new man elected, supported by the great one who trembles, both Rhodes and Byzantium will be stained with Barbarian blood. 22 In the land of the great heavenly temple, a nephew at London is murdered through a false peace. The ship will then be schismatic, false liberty will be shouted abroad. 23 Defences undermined by the spirit of the kingdom people will be stirred up against their king. A new peace is made, holy laws become worse, never was Paris in such great trouble. 24 Mars and the sceptre will be in conjunction, a calamitous war under Cancer. A short time afterwards a new king will be anointed who will bring peace to the earth for a long time. 25 With Mars adverse the monarchy of the great fisherman will be in ruinous trouble. The young red king will take over the government. The traitors will act on a misty day. 26 For four years the seat will be helf for some little good, one will acceed to it who is libidinous in life: Ravenna and Pisa, Verona will support him, desirous of elevating the Papal Cross. 27 Within the islands of five rivers to one, by the crescent of the great Chyren Selin. Through the mists in the air the fury of one; six escaped, hidden in bundles of flax. 28 The great Celt will enter Rome, leading a crowd of exiled and banished. The great Pastor will put to death every man who was united over the Alps for the Cock. 29 The holy widow hearing the news of her offspring in trouble and distress: He who will be led to calm the quarrels by his pursuit will make the shaven heads pile up. 30 By the appearance of fake holiness, the seat will be betrayed to the enemies, in the night when they thought to sleep safely; the people of LiŠge will march near Brabant. 31 The King will find that which he desires so greatly; when the Prelate will be wrongfully taken. The reply to the Duce will make him angry; in Milan he will put several to death. 32 Beaten to death by rods for treason; captured he will be overcome because of his disorder. Frivolous advice is handed to the great captive, when Berich comes to bite his nose in a rage. 33 His hand finally through the bloody Alus, he will be unable to protect himself by sea. Between two rivers he will fear the military hand, the black and angry one will make him repent of it. 34 The machine of flying fire will come to trouble the great, besieged chief. Within there will be such sedition that those abandoned will be in despair. 35 Near the Bear and close to the white wool, Aries, Taurus, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Mars, Jupiter the Sun will burn the great plain, woods and cities; letters hidden in the candle 36 Neither good nor evil from the earthly battle will come to the borders of Perugia. Pisa to rebel, Florence seen to be in bad (times): a king on a mule, wounded by night, to the black covering. 37 The ancient work will be accomplished and from the roof evil ruin will fall on to the great man. Being dead, they will accuse an innocent of the deed, the guilty one hidden in the misty woods. 38 The enemies of peace, the dissolute ones, having overcome Italy the bloody black one, red will be seen, fire, bloodshed, water coloured with blood. 39 The child of the kingdom, through his father's capture. will be deprived to deliver him; near Lake Trasimene that azure captive, in order that the hostage troop may become very drunk. 40 To quench the great thirst the great one of Mainz will be deprived of his great dignity. Those from Cologne will come to complain so strongly that the great rump will be thrown into the Rhine. 41 The second leader of the kingdom of Annemarc, through those of Frisia and the British Isles, will spend more than one hundred thousand marks, attempting in vain a voyage to Italy. 42 To Ogmios the kingdom of the great Selin will be left, who will do even more. He will extend his banner throughout Italy and it will be ruled by careful forgery. 43 For a long time it will remain uninhabited around where the Seine and Marne come to gush forth. Tried by Tamise and soldiers, the guards deceived in believing it rebuffed. 44 By night the rainbow will appear near Nantes, the marine arts will raise up rain. In the Arabian Gulf a great fleet will flounder: in Saxony a monster will be born of a bear and a sow. 45 The very learned governor of the kingdom does not wish to consent to the Royal deed. The fleet at Melilla, by a contrary wind, will deliver him back to his most disloyal one. 46 A just one will be sent back into exile through pestilence to the confines of Nonseggle. His reply to the red one will mislead him, the king with-drawing to the Frog and the Eagle. 47 The two great ones, assembled between two mountains will give up their secret quarrel. Brussels and D“le overcome by Langres in order to execute their pestilence at Malines. 48 The holiness, too false and too attractive accompanied by an eloquent tongue: The old city, Parma too hasty, they will make Florence and Siena even more deserted. 49 The great Pontiff by the warlike party who will subjugate the borders of the Danube. The cross pursued by hook or by crook; captives, gold, jewels, more than one hundred thousand rubies. 50 The bones will be found inside the wells; it will be incest committed by the stepmother. The state changed he will seek renown and praise and will have Mars attendant as his star. 51 The people gathered to see a new sight; Princes and Kings among many onlookers. The pillars, walls, fall, but as if by a miracle the King and thirty of those present are saved. 52 In the place of the great one who will be condemned he is outside prison, his friend in his place. The Trojan hope for six months joined, the born, dead; the Sun in Aquarius, the rivers will be frozen. 53 The great French Prelate suspected by the king by night will flee from his realm; through a Duke fertile to his great King, Britain, Byzantium of Cyprus and Tunis undiscovered. 54 At daybreak at second cockcrow, those of Tunis, Fex and of Bougie; the Arabs captured by the king of Morocco in the year sixteen hundred and seven by the Liturgy. 55 The calmed duke drawing up the contract, the Arabian sail is seen, a sudden discovery. Tripolis, Chios and those of Trabzon; the Duke captured, the Black Sea and the city deserted. 56 The dreaded army of the Narbonne enemy will greatly terrify the Hesperians, Perpignan empty, through the blind one of arbon, then Barcelona by sea will take up her weapons. 57 He who was well to the front in the kingdom, having a red chief close to the seat of power. Harsh and cruel he will make himself most greatly feared; he will succeed to the sacred monarchy. 58 Between the two distant monarchs when the clear Sun is lost by Selin; great emmity between two indignant ones, so that liberty is restored to the Islands and to Siena. 59 The lady, furious, in an adulterous rage, will come to conspire not to speak to her Prince. But the culprit will soon be known so that seventeen will be martyred. 60 The Prince, outside his French territory will be betrayed, deceived by the interpreter. Rouen, La Rochelle, by those of Brittany at the port of Blaye deceived by monk and priest. 61 Folded, the great carpet will not show except by halves, the greater part of its history. Driven far out of the kingdom he will appear harsh, so that each one will believe in his warlike act. 62 Too late both of the flowers will be lost, the snake will not want to act against the law; the forces of the leaguers confounded by the French, Savona, Albenga through Monaco great martyrdom. 63 The lady left alone in the kingdom, her only (spouse) first dead on the bed of honour. For seven years she will be weeping with grief, then a long life for the good fortune of the kingdom. 64 They will not keep any peace agreed upon, all the receivers will go through deceit. In peace and truce, land and sea having protested, the fleet is seized with skill by Barcelona. 65 Grey and brown in half declared war, at night they will be besieged and pillaged. The captured brown one will pass through the prison, his temple opened, two slipped in the plaster. 66 At the founding of a new sect the bones of the great Roman will be found. A sepulchre covered in marble will appear: the earth will quake in April, badly buried. 67 Quite a different man will attain to the great Empire, distant from kindness, more so from happiness. Ruled by one not long come from his bed, the kingdom rushes to great misfortune. 68 When the soldiers in a treacherous fury at night rise up and fight against their leader. The enemy of Alba with furious hand then troubles Rome and wins over the principals. 69 The great pity will arrive before very long: those who gave will be forced to take. Naked, starving with cold and thirst, they band together to cross the mountains causing a great scandal. 70 The great Chyren will be chief of the world, after 'Plus oultre' loved, feared and dreaded. His fame and praise go beyond the heavens and he will be greatly satisfied with the sole title of victor. 71 When they will come to give the last rites to the great king, before he has quite given up his soul, he who will come to lament him the last, through lions the cross and crown of the eagles sold. 72 Through feigned fury of a divine emotion the wife of the great one will be badly violated. The judges wishing to condemn such a doctrine, the victim is sacrificed to the ignorant people. 73 In a great city a monk and an artisan are lodged near the gate and the walls; speaking vainly and secretly against Modena, betrayed for acting under the guise of a marriage. 74 She who was cast out will return to reign, her enemies found among conspirators. More than ever will her time be triumphant, at three and seventy to death very sure. 75 The great pilot will be commissioned by the King to leave the fleet to attain to higher rank. Seven years later he will be in rebellion, Venice will come to fear the barbarian army. 76 The ancient city created by Antenor is no longer able to support the tyrant; a false one-armed man in the temple will cut the throat, the people will come to put his followers to death. 77 Through the fraudulent victory of the deceived, two fleets in one, the German revolt. The chief murdered with his son in the tent. Florence and Imola pursued into Romania. 78 To shout aloud the victory of the great crescent moon the Eagle will be proclaimed by the Romans. Pavia, Milan and Genoa will not agree to it: then the great Lord is claimed by themselves. 79 Near the Ticino the inhabitants of the Loire, Garonne and Sa“ne, the Seine, Tain and Gironde. Beyond the mountains they will build a promontory; conflict engaged, Pau seized, submerged by the wave. 80 From Fex the kingdom will stretch out to those of Europe. The city blazes, the sword will slash; the great man of Asia with a great troop by land and sea so that blues, perse, he will drive out the cross to death. 81 Tears, cries and wailing, howls and terror, an inhuman cruel heart, black and cold. Lake Geneva, the Islands, the main people of Genoa; blood pours, hunger for wheat, mercy to none. 82 Through the deserts of the free wild place, the nephew of the Great Pontiff will wander. Killed by seven with a heavy club, by those who will afterwards occupy the chalice. 83 He who will have so much honour and affection at his entry into Belgian Gaul; a while after he will act so very crudely and will be very bellicose towards the flower. 84 The lame man who could not rule in Sparta, he will do much seductive ways. That by the long and the short of it he will be accused of aiming his objectives against the king. 85 The great city of Tarsus by the Gauls will be destroyed, all captured at Turban. Help from the sea from the great Portuguese; the first day of summer, Urban's consecration. 86 One day the great Prelate, after his dream interpreted the opposite to its meaning; from Gascony a monk will come to him who will cause the great Prelate of Sens to be elected. 87 The election made in Frankfurt will not be valid, Milan will oppose it. The closest follower will seem so very strong that he will drive him out beyond the Rhine into the marshes. 88 A great kingdom will remain desolate, near the Ebro they will be gathered in assemblies. The Pyrenean mountains will console him when in May there will be earth tremors. 89 Feet and hands bound between two boats, the face anointed with honey and touched with milk. Wasps and flies, fatherly love angered, the cupbearer lies, the goblet tried. 90 The stinking and abominable shame, after the deed he will be congratulated. The great one excused for not being favourable, that Neptune cannot be tempted towards peace. 91 Of the leader of the naval war, the red one unbridled, severe, horrible quarrel; captive escaped from the older one in the saddle, when the great Agrippa bears a son. 92 The Prince of such handsome beauty, intrigues against his person, betrayed to the second rank. The city put to the sword, consumed with a powder that burns. By this, so great a murder, the head of the king is hated. 93 The greedy prelate deceived by ambition, he will think that nothing is too great (for him). He and his messengers, completely trapped, the man who cuts the woods sees all in reverse. 94 A king will be angry with the sedifragues when warlike arms are prohibited; the poison tainted with sugar in the strawberries, murdered by waters, death, saying, close, close. 95 Calumny against the younger born by the detractor, when enormous, martial deeds will occur. The least part doubtful for the elder one, and soon in the kingdom there will be partisan actions. 96 A great city abandoned to the soldiers, there was never a mortal tumult so close. Oh, what a dreadful calamity approaches; except for one offence it will not be forgiven. 97 The sky will burn at forty-five degrees, fire approaches the great New City. Immediately a huge, scattered flame leaps up when they want to have proof of the Normans. 98 Ruin for the Volcae, so very terrible with fear, their great city stained by a pestilential deed. To plunder the Sun and Moon and violate their temples and to redden the two rivers running with blood. 99 The learned enemy will turn around confused, the great camp sick and defeated by ambushes. The Pyrenean Mountains and the Pennines will be refused to him, near the river discovering ancient urns. 100 INCANTATION OF THE LAW AGAINST INEPT CRITICS. May those who read this verse think upon it deeply, let the profane and ignorant herd keep away. Let all astrologers, idiots and barbarians stay far off, he who does otherwise, let him be priest to the rite. CENTURY SEVEN 1 The arc of the treasurer deceived by Achilles, the quadrangule known to the procreators. The invention will be known by the Royal deed; a corpse seen hanging in the sight of the populace. 2 Arles opened up by war will not offer resistance, the soldiers will be astonished by night. Black and white concealing indigo on land under the false shadow you will see traitors sounded. 3 After the naval victory of France, the people of Barcelona the Saillinons and those of Marseilles; the robber of gold, the anvil enclosed in the ball, the people of Ptolon will be party to the fraud. 4 The Duke of Langres besieged at D“le accompanied by people from Autun and Lyons. Geneva, Augsburg allied to those of Mirandola, to cross the mountains against the people of Ancona. 5 Some of the wine on the table will be spilt, the third will not have that which he claimed. Twice descended from the black one of Parma, Perouse will do to Pisa that which he believed. 6 Naples, Palermo and all of Sicily will be uninhabited through Barbarian hands. Corsica, Salerno and the island of Sardinia, hunger, plague, war the end of extended evils. 7 Upon the struggle of the great, light horses, it will be claimed that the great crescent is destroyed. To kill by night, in the mountains, dressed in shepherds' clothing, red gulfs in the deep ditch. 8 Florence, flee, flee the nearest Roman, at Fiesole will be conflict given: blood shed, the greatest ones taken by the hand, neither temple nor sex will be pardoned. 9 The lady in the absence of her great master will be begged for love by the Viceroy. Feigned promise and misfortune in love, in the hands of the great Prince of Bar. 10 By the great Prince bordering le Mans, brave and valliant leader of the great army; by land and sea with Bretons and Normans, to pass Gibraltar and Barcelona to pillage the island. 11 The royal child will scorn his mother, eye, feet wounded, rude, disobedient; strange and very bitter news to the lady; more than five hundred of her people will be killed. 12 The great younger son will make an end of the war, he assembles the pardoned before the gods; Ahors and Moissac will go far from the prison, a refusal at Lectoure, the people of Agen shaved. 13 From the marine tributary city, the shaven head will take up the satrapy; to chase the sordid man who will then be against him. For fourteen years he will hold the tyranny. 14 He will come to expose the false topography, the urns of the tombs will be opened. Sect and holy philosophy to thrive, black for white and the new for the old. 15 Before the city of the Insubrian lands, for seven years the siege will be laid; a very great king enters it, the city is then free, away from its enemies. 16 The deep entry made by the great Queen will make the place powerful and inaccessible; the army of the three lions will be defeated causing within a thing hideous and terrible. 17 The prince who has little pity or mercy will come through death to change (and become) very knowledgeable. The kingdom will be attended with great tranquillity, when the great one will soon be fleeced. 18 The besieged will colour their pacts, but seven days later they will make a cruel exit: thrown back inside, fire and blood, seven put to the axe the lady who had woven the peace is a captive. 19 The fort at Nice will not engage in combat, it will be overcome by shining metal. This deed will be debated for a long time, strange and fearful for the citizens. 20 Ambassadors of the Tuscan language will cross the Alps and the sea in April and May. The man of the calf will deliver an oration, not coming to wipe out the French way of life. 21 By the pestilential enmity of Languedoc, the tyrant dissimulated will be driven out. The bargain will be made on the bridge at Sorgues to put to death both him and his follower. 22 The citizens of Mesopotamia angry with their friends from Tarraconne; games, rites, banquests, every person asleep, the vicar at Rh“ne, the city taken and those of Ausonia. 23 The Royal sceptre will be forced to take that which his predecessors had pledged. Because they do not understand about the ring when they come to sack the palace. 24 He who was buried will come out of the tomb, he will make the strong one out of the bridge to be bound with chains. Poisoned with the roe of a barbel, the great one from Lorraine by the Marquis du Pont. 25 Through long war all the army exhausted, so that they do not find money for the soldiers; instead of gold or silver, they will come to coin leather, Gallic brass, and the crescent sign of the Moon. 26 Foists and galleys around seven ships, a mortal war will be let loose. The leader from Madrid will receive a wound from arrows, two escaped and five brought to land. 27 At the wall of Vasto the great cavalry are impeded by the baggage near Ferrara. At Turin they will speedily commit such robbery that in the fort they will ravish their hostage. 28 The captain will lead a great herd on the mountain closest to the enemy. Surrounded by fire he makes such a way, all escape except for thirty put on the spit. 29 The great one of Alba will come to rebel, he will betray his great forebears. The great man of Guise will come to vanquish him, led captive with a monument erected. 30 The sack approaches, fire and great bloodshed. Po the great rivers, the enterprise for the clowns; after a long wait from Genoa and Nice, Fossano, Turin the capture at Savigliano. 31 From Languedoc and Guienne more than ten thousand will want to cross the Alps again. The great Savoyards march against Brindisi, Aquino and Bresse will come to drive them back. 32 From the bank of Montereale will be born one who bores and calculates becoming a tyrant. To raise a force in the marches of Milan, to drain Faenza and Florence of gold and men. 33 The kingdom stripped of its forces by fraud, the fleet blockaded, passages for the spy; two false friends will come to rally to awaken hatred for a long time dormant. 34 The French nation will be in great grief, vain and light-hearted, they will believe rash things. No bread, salt, wine nor water, venom nor ale, the greater one captured, hunger, cold and want. 35 The great fish will come to complain and weep for having chosen, deceived concerning his age: he will hardly want to remain with them, he will be deceived by those (speaking) his own tongue. 36 God, the heavens, all the divine words in the waves, carried by seven red- shaven heads to Byzantium: against the anointed three hundred from Trebizond, will make two laws, first horror then trust. 37 Ten sent to put the captain of the ship to death, are altered by one that there is open revolt in the fleet. Confusion, the leader and another stab and bite each other at Lerins and the HyerŠs, ships, prow into the darkness. 38 The elder royal one on a frisky horse will spur so fiercely that it will bolt. Mouth, mouthful, foot complaining in the embrace; dragged, pulled, to die horribly. 39 The leader of the French army will expect to lose the main phalanx. Upon the pavement of oats and slate the foreign nation will be undermined through Genoa. 40 Within casks anointed outside with oil and grease twenty-one will be shut before the harbour, at the second watch; through death they will do great deeds; to win the gates and be killed by the watch. 41 The bones of the feet and the hands locked up, because of the noise the house is uninhabited for a long time. Digging in dreams they will be unearthed, the house healthy and inhabited without noise. 42 Two newly arrived have seized the poison, to pour it in the kitchen of the great Prince. By the scullion both are caught in the act, taken he who thought to trouble the elder with death. CENTURY EIGHT 1 PAU, NAY, LORON will be more of fire than blood, to swim in praise, the great one to flee to the confluence (of rivers). He will refuse entry to the magpies Pampon and the Durance will keep them confined. 2 Condom and Auch and around Mirande, I see fire from the sky which encompasses them. Sun and Mars conjoined in Leo, then at Marmande, lightning, great hail, a wall falls into the Garonne. 3 Within the strong castle of Vigilance and Resviers the younger born of Nancy will be shut up. In Turin the first ones will be burned, when Lyons will be transported with grief. 4 The cock will be received into Monaco, the Cardinal of France will appear; he will be deceived by the Roman legation; weakness to the eagle, strength will be born to the cock. 5 There will appear a shining ornate temple, the lamp and candle at Borne and Breteuil. For the canton of Lucerne turned aside, when one will see the great cock in his shroud. 6 Lightning and brightness are seen at Lyons shining, Malta is taken, suddenly it will be extinguished. Sardon, Maurice will act deceitfully, Geneva to London, feigning treason towards the cock. 7 Vercelli, Milan will give the news, the wound will be given at Pavia. To run in the Seine, water, blood and fire through Florence, the unique one falling from high to low calling for help. 8 Near Focia enclosed in some tuns Chivasso will plot for the eagle. The elected one driven out, he and his people shut up, rape with Turin, the bride led away. 9 While the eagle is united with the cock at Savona, the Eastern Sea and Hungary. The army at Naples, Palermo, the marches of Ancona, Rome and Venice a great outcry by the Barbarian. 10 A great stench will come from Lausanne, but they will not know its origin, they will put out all the people from distant places, fire seen in the sky, a foreign nation defeated. 11 A multitude of people will appear at Vicenza without force, fire to burn the Basilica. Near Lunage the great one of Valenza defeated: at a time when Venice takes up the quarrel through custom. 12 He will appear near to Buffalora the highly born and tall one entered into Milan. The Abbe of Foix with those of Saint-Meur will cause damage dressed up as serfs. 13 The crusader brother through impassioned love will cause Bellerophon to die through Proetus; the fleet for a thousand years, the maddened woman, the potion drunk, both of them then die. 14 The great credit of gold and abundance of silver will cause honour to be blinded by lust; the offence of the adulterer will become known, which will occur to his great dishonour. 15 Great exertions towards the North by a man-woman to vex Europe and almost all the Universe. The two eclipses will be put into such a rout that they will reinforce life or death for the Hungarians. 16 At the place where HIERON has his ship built, there will be such a great sudden flood, that one will not have a place nor land to fall upon, the waters mount to the Olympic Fesulan. 17 Those at ease will suddenly be cast down, the world put into trouble by three brothers; their enemies will seize the marine city, hunger, fire, blood, plague, all evils doubled. 18 The cause of her death will be issued from Florence, one time before drunk by young and old; by the three lilies they will give her a great pause. Save through her offspring as raw meat is dampened. 19 To support the great troubled Cappe, the reds will march in order to clarify it; a family will be almost overcome by death. The red, red ones will knock down the red one. 20 The false message about the rigged election to run through the city stopping the broken pact; voices bought, chapel stained with blood, the empire contracted to another one. 21 Three foists will enter the port of Agde carrying the infection and pestilence, not the faith. Passing the bridge they will carry off a million, the bridge is broken by the resistance of a third. 22 Coursan, Narbonne through the salt to warn Tuchan, the grace of Perpignan betrayed; the red town will not wish to consent to it, in a high flight, a copy flag and a life ended. 23 Letters are found in the queen's chests, no signature and no name of the author. The ruse will conceal the offers; so that they do not know who the lover is. 24 The lieutenant at the door of the house, will knock down the great man of Perpignan. Thinking to save himself at Montpertuis, the bastard of Lusignan will be deceived. 25 The heart of the lover, awakened by furtive love will ravish the lady in the stream. She will pretend bashfully to be half injured, the father of each will deprive the body of its soul. 26 The bones of Cato found in Barcelona, placed, discovered, the site found again and ruined. The great one who holds, but does not hold, wants Pamplona, drizzle at the abbey of Montserrat. 27 The auxiliary way, one arch upon the other, Le Muy deserted except for the brave one and his jennet. The writing of the Phoenix Emperor, seen by him which is (shown) to no other. 28 The copies of gold and silver inflated, which after the theft were thrown into the lake, at the discovery that all is exhausted and dissipated by the debt. All scrips and bonds will be wiped out. 29 At the fourth pillar which they dedicate to Saturn split by earthquake and by flood; under Saturn's building an urn is found gold carried off by Caepio and then restored. 30 In Toulouse, not far from Beluezer making a deep pit a palace of spectacle, the treasure found will come to vex everyone in two places and all near the Basacle. 31 The first great fruit of the prince of Pescheria, then will come a cruel and wicked man. In Venice he will lose his proud glory, and is led into evil by the younger Selin. 32 French king, beware of your nephew who will do so much that your only son will be murdered while making his vows to Venus; accompanied at night by three and six. 33 The great one who will be born of Verona and Vincenza who carries a very unworthy surname; he who at Venice will wish to take vengeance, himself taken by a man of the watch and sign. 34 After the victory of the Lion over the Lion, there will be great slaughter on the mountain of JURA; floods and dark-coloured people the seventh of a million, Lyons, Ulm at the mausoleum death and the tomb. 35 At the entrance to Garonne and Baise and the forest not far from Damazan, discoveries of the frozen sea, then hail and north winds. Frost in the Dardonnais through the mistake of the month. 36 It will be committed against the anointed brought from Lons le Saulnier, Saint Aubin and Bell'oeuvre. To pave with marble taken from distant towers, not to resist Bletteram and his masterpiece. 37 The fortress near the Thames will fall when the king is locked up inside. He will be seen in his shirt near the bridge, one facing death then barred inside the fortress. 38 The King of Blois will reign in Avignon, once again the people covered in blood. In the Rh“ne he will make swim near the walls up to five, the last one near Nolle. 39 He who will have been for the Byzantine prince will be taken away by the prince of Toulouse. The faith of Foix through the leader of Tolentino will fail him, not refusing the bride. 40 The blood of the Just for Taur and La Duarade in order to avenge itself against the Saturnines. They will immerse the band in the new lake, then they will march against Alba. 41 A fox will be elected without speaking one word, appearing saintly in public living on barley bread, afterwards he will suddenly become a tyrant putting his foot on the throats of the greatest men. 42 Through avarice, through force and violence the chief of Orl‚ans will come to vex his supporters. Near St Merri, assault and resistance. Dead in his tent they will say he is asleep inside. 43 Through the fall of two bastard creatures the nephew of the blood will occupy the throne. Within Lectoure there will be blows of lances, the nephew through fear will fold up his standard. 44 The natural offspring of Ogmios will turn off the road from seven to nine. To the king long friend of the half man, Navarre must destroy the fort at Pau. 45 With his hand in a sling and his leg bandaged, the younger brother of Calais will reach far. At the word of the watch, the death will be delayed, then he will bleed at Easter in the Temple. 46 Paul the celibrate will die three leagues from Rome, the two nearest flee the oppressed monster. When Mars will take up his horrible throne, the Cock and the Eagle, France and the three brothers. 47 Lake Trasimene will bear witness of the conspirators locked up inside Perugia. A fool will imitate the wise one, killing the Teutons, destroying and cutting to pieces. 48 Saturn in Cancer, Jupiter with Mars in February 'Chaldondon' salva tierra. Sierra Morena besieged on three sides near Verbiesque, war and mortal conflict. 49 Saturn in Taurus, Jupiter in Aquarius. Mars in Sagittarius, the sixth of February brings death. Those of Tardaigne so great a breach at Bruges, that the barbarian chief will die at Ponteroso. 50 The plague around Capellades, another famine is near to Sagunto; the knightly bastard of the good old man will cause the great one of Tunis to lose his head. 51 The Byzantine makes an oblation after having taken back Cordoba. A long rest on his road, the vines cut down, at sea the passing prey captured by the Pillar. 52 The king of Blois to reign in Avignon, from Amboise and 'Seme' the length of the Indre: claws at Poitiers holy wings ruined before Boni.... 53 Within Boulogne he will want to wash away his misdeeds, he cannot at the temple of the Sun. He will fly away, doing very great things: In the hierarchy he had never an equal. 54 Under the colour of the marriage treaty, a magnanimous act by the 'Chyren selin': St Quintin and Arras recovered on the journey; By the Spanish a second butcher's bench is made. 55 He will find himself shut in between two rivers, casks and barrels joined to cross beyond: eight bridges broken, their chief run through so many times, perfect children's throats slit by the knife. 56 The weak band will occupy the land, those of high places will make dreadful cries. The large herd of the outer corner troubled, near Edinburgh it falls discovered by the writings. 57 From simple soldier he will attain to Empire, from the short robe he will grow into the long. Brave in arms, much worse towards the Church, he vexes the priests as water fills a sponge. 58 A kingdom divided by two quarrelling brothers to take the arms and the name of Britain. The Anglican title surprised by night (the other is), led to the French air. 59 Twice put up and twice cast down, the East will also weaken the West. Its adversary after several battles chased by sea will fail at time of need. 60 First in Gaul, first in Roumania, over land and sea against the English and Paris. Marvellous deeds by that great troop, violent, the wild beast will lose LORRAINE. 61 Never by the revelation of daylight will he attain the mark of the sceptre bearer. Until all his sieges are at rest, bringing to the Cock the gift of the armed LEGION. 62 When one sees the hole temple plundered, the greatest of the Rh“ne profaning their sacred things; because of them a very great pestilence will appear, the king, unjust, will not condemn them. 63 When the adulterer wounded without a blow will have murdered his wife and son out of spite; his wife knocked down, he will strangle the child; eight captives taken, choked beyond help. 64 The infants transported into the islands, two out of seven will be in despair. Those of the soil will be supported by it, the name 'shovel' taken, the hope of the leagues fails. 65 The old man disappointed in his main hope, will attain to the leadership of his Empire. Twenty months he will hold rule with great force, a tyrant, cruel, giving way to one worse. 66 When the inscription D.M. is found in the ancient cave, revealed by a lamp. Law, the King and Prince Ulpian tried, the Queen and Duke in the pavilion under the cover. 67 PARIS, CARCASSONE, FRANCE to ruin in great disharmony, neither one nor the other will be elected. France will have the love and good will of the people, Ferara, Colonna great protection. 68 The old Cardinal is deceived by the young one, he will find himself disarmed, out of his position: Do not show, Arles, that the double is perceived, both Liqueduct and the Prince embalmed. 69 Beside the young one the old angel falls, and will come to rise above him at the end; ten years equal to most the old one falls again, of three two and one, the eighth seraphin. 70 He will enter, wicked, unpleasant, infamous, tyrannizing over Mesopotamia. All friends made by the adulterous lady, the land dreadful and black of aspect. 71 The number of astrologers will grow so great, that they will be driven out, banned, and their books censored. In the year 1607 by sacred assemblies so that none will be safe from the holy ones. 72 Oh what a huge defeat on the Perugian battlefield and the conflict very close to Ravenna. A holy passage when they will celebrate the feast, the conqueror banished to eat horse meat. 73 The king is struck by a barbarian soldier, unjustly, not far from death. The greedy will be the cause of the deed, conspirator and realm in great remorse. 74 A king entered very far into the new land while the subjects will come to bid him welcome; his treachery will have such a result that to the citizens it is a reception instead of a festival. 75 The father and son will be murdered together, the leader within his pavilion. The mother at Tours will have her belly swollen with a son. A verdure chest with little pieces of paper. 76 More of a butcher than a king in England, born of obscure rank will gain empire through force. Coward without faith, without law he will bleed the land; His time approaches so close that I sigh. 77 The antichrist very soon annihilates the three, twenty-seven years his war will last. The unbelievers are dead, captive, exiled; with blood, human bodies, water and red hail covering the earth. 78 A soldier of fortune with twisted tongue will come to the sanctuary of the gods. He will open the door to heretics and raise up the Church militant. 79 He who loses his father by the sword, born in a Nunnery, upon this Gorgon's blood will conceive anew; in a strange land he will do everything to be silent, he who will burn both himself and his child. 80 The blood of innocents, widow and virgin, so many evils committed by means of the Great Red One, holy images placed over burning candles, terrified by fear, none will be seen to move. 81 The new empire in desolation will be changed from the Northern Pole. From Sicily will come such trouble that it will bother the enterprise tributary to Philip. 82 Thin tall and dry, playing the good valet in the end will have nothing but his dismissal; sharp poison and letters in his collar, he will be seized escaping into danger. 83 The largest sail set out of the port of Zara, near Byzantium will carry out its enterprise. Loss of enemy and friend will not be, a third will turn on both with great pillage and capture. 84 Paterno will hear the cry from Sicily, all the preparations in the Gulf of Trieste; it will be heard as far as Sicily flee oh flee, so many sails, the dreaded pestilence! 85 Between Bayonne and St Jean de Luz will be placed the promontory of Mars. To the Hanix of the North, Nanar will remove the light, then suffocate in bed without assistance. 86 Through Emani, Tolosa and Villefranche, an infinite band through the mountains of Adrian. Passes the river, Combat over the plank for a bridge, Bayonne will be entered all crying Bigore. 87 A death conspired will come to its full effect, the charge given and the voyage of death. Elected, created, received (then) defeated by his followers, in remorse the blood of innocence in front of him. 88 A noble king will come to Sardinia, who will only rule for three years in the kingdom. He will join with himself several colours; he himself, after taunts, care spoils slumber. 89 In order not to fall into the hands of his uncle who slaughtered his children in order to reign. Pleasing with the people, putting his foot on 'Peloncle', dead and dragged between armoured horses. 90 When those of the cross are found their senses troubled, in place of sacred things he will see a horned bull, through the virgin the pig's place will then be filled, order will no longer be maintained by the king. 91 Entered among the fields of the Rh“ne (dwellers) where those of the cross are almost united, the two lands meeting in Pisces and a great number punished by the flood. 92 Far distant from his kingdom, sent on a dangerous journey, he will lead a great army and keep it for himself. The king will hold his people captive and hostage, he will plunder the whole country on his return. 93 For seven months, no longer, will be hold the office of prelate, through his death a great schism will arise; for seven months another acts as prelate near Venice, peace and union are reborn. 94 In front of the lake where the dearest one was destroyed for seven months and his army routed; Spaniards will be devastating by means of Alba, through delay in giving battle, loss. 95 The seducer will be placed in a ditch and will be tied up for some time. The scholar joins the chief with his cross. The sharp right will draw the contented ones. 96 The sterile synagogue without any fruit, will be received by the infidels, the daughter of the persecuted (man) of Babylon, miserable and sad, they will clip her wings. 97 At the ends of the VAR the great powers change; near the bank three beautiful children are born. Ruin to the people when they are of age; in the country the kingdom is seen to grow and change more. 98 Of the church men the blood will be poured forth as abundant as water in (amount); for a long time it will not be restrained, woe, woe, for the clergy ruin and grief. 99 Through the powers of three temporal kings, the sacred seat will be put in another place, where the substance of the body and the spirit will be restored and received as the true seat. 100 By the great number of tears shed, from top to bottom and from the bottom to the very top, a life is lost through a game with too much faith, to die of thirst through a great deficiency. CENTURY NINE 1 In the house of the translator from Bourc letters will be found on the table. One-eyed, red-and-white-haired will hold the course, which will change for the new constable. 2 A voice is heard from the top of Aventine Hill. Go, go, all on both sides! The anger will be appeased by the blood of the red ones. From Rimini and Prato, Colonna expelled. 3 The magna vaqua near Ravenna in great trouble, led by fifteen shut up at Fornese; at Rome two monsters with double heads are born, blood, fire, floods, the greatest in the air. 4 The following year revealed by a flood, two leaders elected, the first will not hold on; for one of them refuge in fleeing shadows, the victim plundered who maintained the first. 5 The third toe will look like the first one of a new king, of low height, he who will occupy as a tyrant Pisa and Lucca, to correct the fault of his predecessor. 6 A great number of English in Guienne will occupy it, calling it Anglaquitain. In Languedoc, Ispalme, Bordelais which they will name after Barboxitaine. 7 The man who opens the tomb when it is found, and who does not come and shut it immediately; evil will come to him, no one will be able to prove it. It might have been better were he a Breton or a Norman King. 8 The younger son will put his father, the king to death, after the quarrel, to a death very dishonest. Writings found, suspicion will bring remorse, when the chased wolf lies on the bedcover. 9 When the lamp burning with eternal fire, will be found in the temple of the Vestals. A child found (in the) fire water passing through the sieve, NŒmes to perish in water, the markets will fall in Toulouse. 10 The child of a monk and a nun will be exposed to die, to die by a she bear, and carried off by a boar; the army will be camped near Foix and Parmiers, Carcassonne will raise the pillage against Toulouse. 11 They will come to put the just man wrongfully to death, publicly in the midst he is extinguished. So great a plague will be born in this place that the judges will be forced to flee. 12 The great amount of silver of Diana & Mercury, the images will be found in the lake. The sculptor looking for new clay, both he and his followers will be soaked in gold. 13 The exiles around Sologne, led by night to march into Auxas, two from Modena for the cruel one of Bologna; put, discovered, by the fire of the Buzan‡ais. 14 The dyers' cauldrons put in a flat place, wine, honey and oil and built over furnaces. They will be drowned, without saying or doing an evil thing, seven of Borneaux, the snake extinguished from the cannon. 15 The red ones detained near Perpignan, those in the middle, ruined, led far away. Three cut into pieces and five badly supported for the Lord and Prelate of Burgundy. 16 From Castille Franco will bring out the assembly, the ambassadors will not agree and cause a schism. The people of Riviera will be in the crowd, and the great man will be denied entry to the Gulf. 17 The third one firstly does worse than Nero, go, flow, brave human blood. The furnace will be rebuilt, a golden century; (then) death, a new king and great scandal. 18 The lily of the Dauphin will be taken as far as Nancy, the elector of the empire as far as Flanders. A new prison for the great Montmorency, to the usual place delivered up to Clerepeyne. 19 In the middle of the Mayenne forest, the Sun in Leo, the lightning will fall. The great bastard born of the great man of Maine, on that day a point will enter the blood of FougŠres. 20 By night will come through the forest of Reins two partners, by a roundabout way; the Queen, the white stone. The monk-King dressed in grey at Varennes the Elected Capet causes tempest, fire and bloody slicing. 21 At night, the high temple of Blois at Sacr‚ Solonne a priest on the Loire bridge, a king dying; a messenger, victory for the marshes on the water. Destruction for a priestly gift from the whites. 22 The king and his court in the place of the clever tongue, in the temple, facing the palace. In the garden the Duke of Mantua and Alba, Alba and Mantua dagger, tongue and the palace. 23 The younger son playing outdoors under the arbour, the top of the roof on the middle of his head. The father king in the Temple is solemn, sacrificing, he will consecrate the smoke of the feast. 24 At the palace from the balcony of the windows, the two little royal ones will be carried off. To pass Orl‚ans, Paris and the cloisters of Saint Denis, a nun, the flies devouring the green pits. 25 Crossing the bridges to come near the Roisiers, sooner than he thought, he arrived late. The new Spaniards will come to B‚ziers, so that this chase will break the enterprise. 26 Departed by the bitter letters the surname of Nice, the great Cappe will present something, not his own; Near Voltai at the wall of the green columns, after Piombino the wind in good earnest. 27 The forester, the wind will be close around the bridge, received highly, he will strike the Dauphin. The old craftsman will pass through the woods in a company, going far beyond the right borders of the Duke. 28 The Allied fleet from the port of Marseilles, in Venice harbour to march against Hungary. To leave from the gulf and the bay of Illyria, devastation in Sicily, for the Ligurians, cannon shot. 29 When the man will give away to none, will wish to abandon a place taken, yet not taken; Ship afire through the swamps, bitumen at Charlieu, St Quintin and Calais will be recaptured. 30 At the port of POLA and Saint Nicolo, a Normand will punish in the Gulf of Quarnero: Capet to cry alas in the streets of Byzantium, help from Cadiz and the great Philip. 31 The trembling of the earth at Mortara the tin island of St George half sunk; drowsy with peace, war will arise, at Easter in the temple abysses opened. 32 A deep column of fine porphyry is found, inscriptions of the Capitol under the base; bones, twisted hair, the Roman strength tried, the fleet is stirred at the harbour of Mitylene. 33 Hercules, king of Rome and of 'Annemarc' three times of leader of France to be surnamed (de Gaule). Italy will tremble and the waters round St Mark, the first to be renowned over all (the) kings. 34 The partner, solitary but married, will be mitred, the return, fighting will cross over the Tuileries. By five hundred one traitor will be ennobled, Narbonne & Saulce, we will have oil for knives. 35 And the fair-haired Ferdinand will be detached to abandon the flower and to follow the Macedonian. In great need his course will fail him and he will march against the Myrmidons. 36 A great king captured by the hands of a young man, not far from Easter, confusion, a state of the knife. Everlasting captives, times when the lightning is on the top, when three brothers will be wounded and murdered. 37 Bridges and milk overturned in December, the Garonne will rise to a very high place. Walls, buildings, Toulouse overthrown, so that none will know his place before Matronne. 38 The entry at Blaye for la Rochelle and the English, the great Macedonia will pass beyond; not far from Agen the Gaul will wait, help from Narbonne misled by a conversation. 39 In Albisobla to Veront & Carcara, led by night to seize Savona, the swift Gascon, La Turbie and l'Escarene, to seize the old and new palace behind the wall. 40 Near St Quentin, deceived in the forest, in the Abbey the Flemish will be cut up. The two youngest half-stunned by blows, their followers crushed, and the guard all cut to pieces. 41 The great 'Chyren' will be seized from Avignon, from Rome will come honeyed letters full of bitterness. The letter and embassy to leave from Chanignon, Carpentras taken by the Black Duke with the red feather. 42 From Barcelona, from Genoa and Venice, from Sicily a pestilence allied with Monaco; they will take aim against the barbarian fleet, the barbarian driven as far back as Tunis. 43 Ready to land, the army of the Cross will be watched for by the Ishmaelites; struck from all sides by the ship Raviere, quickly attacked by ten chosen galleys. 44 Leave, leave Geneva everyone, Saturn will change from gold into iron. Those against RAYPOZ will all be exterminated. Before the rush the sky will show signs. 45 There will never be a single person to ask, great Mendosus will attain his Empire. Far from the court he will have countermanded Piedmont, Picardy, Paris, Tuscany the worst. 46 Be gone, flee from Toulouse the red ones, make expiation for the sacrifice. The main cause of evil in the shadow of the gourds, dead, to strangle the prognostication of flesh. 47 The undersigned to an infamous delivery, and receiving contrary advice from the crowds; a monarch changes, thoughts are put in danger, shut in a cage they will see each other face to face. 48 The great city of the maritime ocean, surrounded by a swamp of crystal; in the winter solstice and the spring will be tried by a dreadful wind. 49 Ghent and Brussels march against Antwerp; the Parliament of London will put their king to death; the salt and wine will oppose him; because of them he will have the kingdom in trouble. 50 Mendosus will soon come to his great reign putting behind somewhat the Nolaris; the pale red one, the man in the interregnum, the frightened young man and the fear of the Barbaric ones. 51 Against the red ones will unite, fire, water, iron, the rope will weaken through peace. Those who plot are at the point of dying except one who above all will ruin the world. 52 Peace approaches from one side; and war never was the pursuit of it so great. Men and women moan, innocent blood on the land, and this will be throughout the whole of France. 53 In three chimneys the young Nero will make the living pages thrown out to burn. He is happy who will be far from such happenings; three of his family will ambush him to death. 54 There will arrive at Porto Corsini, near Ravenna, one who will plunder the lady. The legate from Lisbon in the deep sea; hidden under a rock they will carry off seventy souls. 55 The dreadful war which is prepared in the West, the following year the pestilence will come, so very horrible that young, nor old, nor animal (will survive) blood, fire, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter in France. 56 The army near Noudan will pass Goussainville, and will leave its mark at Maiotes; in an instant more than a thousand will be converted, looking for the two to put back chain and firewood(?). 57 In the place of DRUX a king will rest, and will look for a law to change Anathema. While the sky thunders so loudly the king will kill himself at the new gate. 58 To the left side of the place of Vitry the three red ones of France will be watched. All those killed, red, the black not murdered, in safety reassured by the Bretons. 59 At the Fert‚ Vidame he will take, Nicol the red who had produced life; to the great Louise who acts secretly one will be born, who gives Burgundy to the Bretons through envy. 60 In a black head-dress the Barbarian fights, blood shed, Dalmatia trembles. The great Ishma‰l will make his promontory, frogs tremble under aid from Portugal. 61 The plunder taken on the sea coast, in the new city and relations brought forward; Several of Malta through the deeds of Messina, will be closely shut up, poorly rewarded. 62 To the great one of Cheramon agora will all the crosses by rank be attacked, the long lasting Opium and Mandrake, the Rougon will be released on October the third. 63 Complaints and tears, cries and great howls, near Narbonne and Bayonne and in Foix; oh what dreadful calamities and changes, before Mars has revolved a few times. 64 The Aemathian will cross the Pyrenees in March, Narbonne will not make any resistance. He will carry on a very great intrigue by land and sea, Cap. having no land in which to stay safely. 65 He will come to take himself to the corner of Luna, where he will be taken and placed on foreign land. The unripe fruit will be the subject of great scandal, great blame, to the other great praise. 66 There will be peace, union and change, estates and offices (that were) low, (are) high, those high, very low. To prepare for a journey torments the first child; war to cease legal processes, debates. 67 From the top of the mountains around Is…ere,, a hundred assembled at the gate to the Valencian rock; from Chƒteauneuf, Pierrelatte, in Douzaere; against the Crest, Romans assembled in faith. 68 The noble of Mount Aymar will become obscure, the evil will come at the junction of the Saone and the Rh“ne, soldiers hidden in the woods on Lucy's day, there never was so horrible a throne. 69 On the mountain of Sain Bel and l'Arbresle will be hidden the proud people of Grenoble. Beyond Lyons, at Vienne there will be such great hail, locust on the land, not a third of it will remain. 70 Sharp armour hidden in the torches at Lyons, on the day of the sacrament; all those of Vienne will be cut to pieces by the Latin cantons, Mƒcon does not lie. 71 Animals with hair seen at the holy places with one who does not dare (to face) the day; Carcassonne is suitable for the disgrace, and will be left for a longer stay. 72 Again the holy temples will be polluted and plundered by the Senate of Toulouse; Saturn having completed two or three cycles in April and May there will be people of a new leaven. 73 The king enters Foix wearing a blue turban, he will reign for less than a revolution of Saturn; the king with the white turban, his heart banished to Byzantium, Sun, Mars and Mercury near Aquarius. 74 In the homicidal city of Fertsod, again and again many oxen plough, not sacrificed; again a return to the honours of Artemis, and to Vulcan the corpses of the dead to bury. 75 From Arta & the country of Thrace, people ill by sea, help from the Gauls; in Provence their perpetual trace and remnants of their customs and laws. 76 With the rapacious and bloody king, sprung from the pallet of inhuman Nero; between two rivers, the military on the left hand, he will be murdered by a bald young man. 77 The kingdom taken, the King will plot, the lady taken to death by these sworn by lot; they will refuse life to the Queen's son, and the mistress suffers the same fate as the wife. 78 The Greek lady of the beauty of Lais is made happy by innumerable suitors; transferred out to the Spanish kingdom she is captive taken to die a wretched death. 79 The leader of the fleet through deceitful trickery will make the scared ones come out of their galleys. Come out, murdered, the leader to renounce the holy oil. Then through an ambush they give him his deserts. 80 The Duke will wish to kill his followers, he will send the strongest to the strangest places; through tyranny he ruins both Pisa and Lucca, then the Barbarians will harvest grapes without wine. 81 The crafty king will understand his ambushes, from three sides the enemies threaten; a large amount of strange tears from the hooded (ones), the splendour of the translator will fail. 82 By the flood and the great plague the great city is assailed for a long time. The sentry and guard killed by hand, suddenly captured, but none wronged. 83 The sun in twenty degrees of Taurus, there will be a great earthquake; the great theatre full up will be ruined. Darkness and trouble in the air, on sky and land, when the infidel calls upon God and the Saints. 84 The king discovered will complete the slaughter once he has found his origin; a torrent to open the tomb of marble and lead, of a great Roman with the Medusine device. 85 To pass Guienne, Languedoc and the Rh“ne from Agen, holding Marmande and La R‚ole; to open the wall through the king, Marseilles will hold its throne a battle near St Paul-de-Mausole. 86 From Bourge-la-Reine they will not come straight to Chartres, they will pause near the Pont d'Anthony; seven as crafty as martens for peace they will enter with weapons into a closed Paris. 87 In the cleared forest of Touphon the temple will be placed near the hermitage. The Duke of tampes through the ruse he invented will give an example to the priest of Montlhery. 88 Calais & Arras help to Th‚rouanne, the spy will simulate peace and semblance; the soldiers of Savoy go down by Roanne; those people who would stop the rout turned away. 89 Fortune will favour Philip for seven years, he will cut down again the exertions of the Arabs. Then, in the middle a perplexing, contrary affair, young Ogmios will destroy his stronghold. 90 A captain of the greater Germany will come to deliver false help, king of kings; to support Hungary; His war will cause a great shedding of blood. 91 The dreadful plague at Perinthus and Nicopolis will take the Peninsula and Macedonia; it will lay waste Thessaly and Amphipolis, an unknown evil, and refused by Anthony. 92 The king will want to enter the new city, they come to subdue it through its enemies; a captive falsely freed to speak and act; the king to be outside, he will stay far from the enemy. 93 The enemies are very far from the strong man, the bastion is brought by wagons. Above the crumbled walls of Bourges when Hercules strikes the Macedonian. 94 Weak galleys will be joined together, the false enemy is strongest on the ramparts. Bratislava trembles, the weak attacked, Lubeck & Meissen will take the Barbarian's side. 95 The new fact will lead the army, almost cut off as far as to the river bank, holding for help from the Milanese ‚lite; the Duke loses his eyes in an iron cage in Milan. 96 The army denied entry to the city, the Duke will enter through persuasion; secretly the army led to the weak gates, they put it to fire, death and flowing of blood. 97 The forces at sea divided into three parts, the second one will run out of supplies; in despair looking for the Elysian Fields, the first entering the breach will have victory. 98 Those afflicted through the fault of a single infected one, the transgressor will be in the opposite party. He will send to the Lyonnais and compel that they should be given up to the great leader of Molite. 99 The north wind will cause the siege to be raised, to throw over the walls cinders, lime and dust; afterwards through rain which does them much harm, the last help is met at their frontier. 100 A naval battle will be overcome at night. Fire in the ruined ships of the West, a new coding the great coloured ship, anger to the vanquished and victory in a mist. CENTURY TEN 1 To the enemy, the enemy faith promised will not be kept, the captives retained; one is taken near to death and the rest in their shirts, the rest damned for being supporters. 2 The ships sail will hide the sailing galley, the great fleet will cause the lesser one to go out. Nearby ten ships will turn to drive it back, the great one conquered united to join in faith. 3 After the fifth will not put out a flock, a fugitive will be turned loose for Penelon. Falsely to murmur, then to come in aid, then the chief will abandon the siege. 4 At midnight the leader of the army will run away, suddenly disappeared. Seven years later, his reputation unblemished, to his return 'yes' will not once be said (i.e. many times). 5 Albi & Castres will make a new alliance, nine Arians Lisbon and the Portuguese; Carcassonne, Toulouse will join their intrigue when a new chief is the monster from the Lauragues. 6 The Gardon will flood NŒmes so high that they will think Ducalion has been reborn. In the colossus the greater part will flee, Vesta's fire appears extinguished in the tomb. 7 The great fight that they prepare at Nancy, Aemathien will say I subjugate all; the British Isles through wine and salt are in trouble, Hem. mi Philip two, Metz will not hold for long. 8 With index finger and thumb he will wet the forehead, the Count of Senigallia to his own son, through several, Venus in short order, three are wounded to death in seven days. 9 In the Castle of Figueras on a misty day a sovereign prince will be born of an unworthy woman. The surname of Chausses on the ground will make him posthumous, never was a king so bad in his province. 10 Stained with murder and enormous adulteries, great enemy of all manking, he will be worse than his ancestors, uncles and fathers, in steel, fire and water, bloody and inhuman. 11 In the dangerous passage underneath Junquera, the posthumous one will cross his men. To cross the Pyrenean mountains without his baggage the duke will hasten to Perpignan from Tende. 12 Elected as Pope, he will be mocked when elected, suddenly and unexpectedly moved, prompt and timid: caused to die through too much goodness and kindness he will fear for the guide killed on the night of his death. 13 Beneath the food of ruminating animals, led by them into the centre of the food place; soldiers hidden, their weapons being noise, tried not far from the city of Antibes. 14 'Urnel Vaucile' without a plan of his own, bold, timid for fear of being taken and captured; accompanied by several pale whores converted in the Carthusian convent at Barcelona. 15 The father duke old in years and troubled with thirst, on the last day his son denying him the jug: into the well plunged alive he will become dead: the Senate to the son a death long and light. 16 Happy in the kingdom of France, happy in life, ignorant of blood, death, anger and rage. By a flattering name he will be envied, a king robbed, too much faith in the kitchen. 17 The barren queen, seeing her pale daughter because of unhappiness locked up in her stomach. Lamentable cries will then come from Angoulˆme and the marriage to the cousin greatly impeded. 18 The house of Lorraine will make for Vend“me, the high put low and the low exalted. The son of Hamon will be elected in Rome, and the two great ones will be put at a loss. 19 The day she will be saluted as queen, the prayer the day after the blessing. The account is right and valid, once humble, there was never a woman so proud. 20 All of the friends who have belonged to the party, put to death and looked for the uncouth letters. The public possessions, the great one annihilated by six, never were the Roman people so wronged. 21 Through the king's spite in supporting the lesser one, he will be murdered presenting the jewels to him. The father wishing to impress his son with nobility did what the Magi once used to do in Persia. 22 For not wanting to consent to the divorce, which then afterwards will be recognized as unworthy, the King of the islands will be forced to flee, and one put in his place who has no sign of kingship. 23 Remonstrances are made to the ungrateful people, then the army will seize Antibes. In the arch of Monaco the complaints will occur, and at Fr‚jus the shore will be taken by one from the other. 24 The captive prince conquered in Italy will cross from Genoa to Marseilles by sea; by a great effort the foreigners will be overcome except for a gun shot, a barrel of bees' honey. 25 Through the Ebro will be opened a passage to Brissane far away the Tago will make a demonstration. The outrage will be committed in Pelligoux, of the great lady sitting in the orchestra. 26 The successor will avenge his handsome brother and occupy the realm under the shadow of vengeance, he, killed, the obstacle of the blameworthy dead, his blood; for a long time Britain will hold with France. 27 Through the fifth and a great Hercules they will come to open the temple with the hand of war; one Clement, Julius and Ascans put back, the sword, the key, the eagle never once felt so great a dislike. 28 Second and third make first class music they will be sublimely honoured by the king: Through fat and thin, even half emaciated, to be made debased by the false report of Venus. 29 In the great cave of Saint Paul de MAUSOLE, hidden and seized, pulled out by the beard, the captive led like a mastiff animal, by the people of Bigorre brought near to Tarbes. 30 Nephew and of the blood of the newly created saint, through his surname he will sustain the arches and the roof. They will be driven out naked and chased to their deaths, their green will be converted to red and black. 31 The Holy Empire will come to Germany, the Arabs will find open places; the asses will also want Carmania, the supporters completely covered with earth. 32 The empire each year should become great. One will come to hold (power) over all the others. But his kingdom and life will last a short time. In two years he will be able to maintain himself in his ships. 33 The cruel party with long robes will hide sharp daggers underneath. The Duke to seize Florence and the place of two words. Its discovery through young ones and flatterers. 34 The Gaul who gains his empire through war will be betrayed by his younger brother-in-law. He will be dragged by an untrained nervous horse, for the act the brother will be hated for a long time. 35 The younger son of a king flagrant with burning lust to enjoy his first cousin. Women's attire in the temple of Diana going to be murdered by the unknown man from Marne. 36 After the king (of the stump?) speaks of wars, the United Island will despise him. For several years the good one gnaws and pillages, through tyranny on the island its values change. 37 The great crowd near to the lake of Le Bourget, they will rally near to Montmelian, going further ahead the thoughtful ones draw up a plan, Chambery, St Julian de Maurienne, fight. 38 'Light of love' will not hold the siege for long, for the converted barbarian will be all the garrisons; the Ursins and Adria give security for the French, for fear of the army being handed over to the Grisons. 39 The first son, a widow, an unfortunate marriage without any children: two Islands thrown into discord. Before eighteen years of age, a minor: of the other even lower will be the betrothal. 40 The young born to the realm of Britain, which his dying father had commended to him. Once he is dead, Londen will dispute with him, and the kindom will be demanded back from the son. 41 On the boundary of Caussade and Caylus, not very far from the depths of the valley, music from Villefranche to the sound of lutes, surrounded by cymbals and a great (deal) of stringed (instruments). 42 The human reign of English offspring will cause the kingdom to remain united in peace. Half captured in his enclosure in the war, for a long time peace will be maintained by them. 43 Too much of good times and too much royal bounty, made and quickly undone by sudden negligence. He will lightly believe false his loyal wife whom in his benevolence he puts to death. 44 Where a king is (chosen) against his people a native of Blois will subdue the League. Mammel, Cordoba and the Dalmatians; of the seven then a shadow to the King, new money and dead ghosts. 45 The shadow of the kingdom of Navarre is not true, it will make the life of a strong man illegal. The uncertain vow promised at Cambrai, the king at Orl‚ans will give a lawful boundary (wall). 46 Because of the GOLD, the life, fate and death of an unworthy, sordid man: he will not be the new Elector of Saxony. From Brunswick he will send for a sign of love, the false seducer giving it to the people. 47 In the town of Burgos, to the Garland lady they will give the verdict on the treason committed; the great prelate of Leon through Formande, undone by false pilgrims and thieves. 48 Banners from the furthest corners of Spain, coming from the ends and borders of Europe. Trouble passing near the bridge of Laigne, its great army will be routed by bands (of men). 49 Garden of the world near the New City, in the road of the hollow mountains. It will be seized and plunged in the tank, forced to drink water poisoned with sulphur. 50 By day, the Meuse in the land of Luxembourg, will find Saturn and three in Aquarius; mountain and plain, town, city and borough; flood in Lorraine betrayed by the great urn. 51 Some of the lowest places in the county of Lorraine will be united with the lower Germanies. Through the people of the seats of Picardy, Normandy and Maine, they will be reunited to the cantons. 52 At the place where the LAYE and the Scheldt join the marriage will be arranged a long time ago. At the place in Antwerp where the chaff is carried a young undefiled wife, and old age. 53 Three prostitutes will quarrel for a long time; the greatest will remain to hear the least. The great Selin will no longer be her patron, she will call him fire, shield, a white rout. 54 Born into this world of a furtive concubine, at two raised high by the bad news. She will be taken captive among enemies and brought to Malines and Brussels. 55 The unfortunate marriage will be celebrated with great joy, but the end is unhappy. The mother will despise the daughter-in-law Mary, the Apollo dead and the daughter-in-law more pitiful. 56 The royal priest bowing too low, a great flow of blood will come out of his mouth. The Anglican reign, a realm breathing, for a long time dead as a stump, living in Tunis. 57 The uplifted one will not know his sceptre, he will disgrace the young children of the greatest ones. There was never so filthy and cruel a being, for their wives, the king will banish them to death. 58 At a time of mourning the feline monarch will make war with the young Aemathien. France to shake, the bark will be in danger, Marseilles to be tried, a talk in the West. 59 In Lyons, twenty-five of the same breath, five citizens, Germans, Bressans, Latins, under a noble they will lead a long train and are discovered by the barking of the mastiffs. 60 I weep for Nice, Monaco, Pisa, Genoa, Savona, Siena, Capua, Modena and Malta. The blood and sword above for a gift, fire, the earth will tremble, water, an unhappy reluctance. 61 Betta, Vienna, Emorre, Sapron, they will want to deliver Hungary to the Barbarians; great violence through pike and fire, the conspirators discovered by a matron. 62 Near Sorbia in order to assail Hungary, the herald of Brudes will come to warn them. The Byzantine chief, Salona of Slavonia, he will come to convert them to Arab law. 63 Cydonia, Ragusa, the city holy to Hieron, the healing help will make it green again, the king's son dead because of the death of two heroes, Arabia and Hungary will take the same steps. 64 Weep Milan, weep Lucca and Florence, when your great Duke climbs into the chariot. To change the seat it advances close to Venice when at Rome the Colonnas will change. 65 O great Rome your ruin draws near, not of your walls but of your blood and substance; the harsh one in letters will make so horrid a notch, pointed steel wounding all up to the sleeve. 66 The London premier through American power will burden the island of Scotland with a cold thing. Reb the King will have so dreadful an antichrist who will bring them all into the troubles. 67 A very great trembling in the month of May, Saturn in Capricorn, Jupiter and Mercury in Taurus. Venus also in Cancer, Mars in Virgo, then hail will fall greater than an egg. 68 The army of the sea will stand before the city then depart without making a long passage. A great prey of citizens will be taken on land, the fleet returns to seize (by) great robbery. 69 The shining deed of the new old one exalted, will be so great in the south and north. Raised by his own sister great crowds arise, fleeing is murdered in the bushes at Ambellon. 70 Because of an object the eye will swell so much, burning so greatly that the snow will fall. The watered fields will start to shrink when the Primate dies at Reggio. 71 The earth and air will freeze so much water when they come to venerate on Thursdays.

His adherents will be there at the sound of a trumpet, their possessions for sale, the enemies driven out. 77 Thirty members of the order of Quirities, banished, their belongings given to their bold adversaries. All their good actions will be taken as wrong, the fleet scattered, delivered up to the Corsairs. 78 Sudden joy into sudden sadness will beat Rome for the graces embraced; Mourning, cries, tears, weeping, blood, excellent rejoicing, contrary bands surprised and trussed up. 79 The old roads will all be improved, they will go to (a place) similar (to) Memphis.

The Reconciled one will not be without disputes by employing and wasting all his time. 85 The old tribune on the point of trembling will be pressed not to give up the captive. The old, not old speaking timidly of the evil to free his friends in a lawful manner. 86 The king of Europe will come like a griffon, accompanied by those of the North; he will lead a great troop of red and white, they will go against the king of Babylon. 87 A great king will come to anchor near Nice, the death of the great empire is thus accomplished. He will place his heifer in Antibes, plunder at sea, all will vanish. 88 Foot and horse at the second watch, they will make an entry laying waste all at sea. He will enter the port of Marseilles, tears, cries and blood, never a time so bitter. 89 The walls will change from brick to marble, seventy-five peaceful years. Joy to people, the aqueduct reopened, health, abundant fruit, joy and mellifluous times. 90 A hundred times the inhuman tyrant will die and a wise and carefree man put in his place. He will have the whole senate in his hands, he will be troubled by a wretched scoundrel. 91 In the year 1609, the Roman Clergy at the head of the year will have an election; one of grey and black come forth from Campania, never was there one as wicked as he. 92 In front of the father the child will be killed, the father afterwards between ropes of rushes.

This evil will cause a lowering of the crescent again, a lowering of the wings of the people of Friday. 96 The religion called after the seas will overcome, against the sect of the son Adaluncatif; the stubborn lamentable sect will fear the two men wounded by A & A. 97 Triremes full of captives of all ages good times for bad, sweet ones for the bitter; hasty they will be too quickly prey for the Barbarians anxious to see the plume (of smoke) wail in the wind. 98 For the joyful maiden the bright splendour will shine no more, for a long time she will lack salt. With merchants, bullies, odious wolves all confusion the universal monster. 99 The end of the wolf, the lion, ox and the ass, the timid deer will be with the mastiffs. No longer will the sweet manna fall upon them; more vigilance and guarding for the mastiffs. 100 A great empire will be for England, the all powerful for more than 300 years. Great forces cross by land and sea. The Portuguese will not be content. The End. -------------------
