Century I Q66-Q70

C1:Q66

Celuy qui lors portera les nouuelles,

Apres vn peu il viendra respirer:

Viuiers, Tournon, Montferrant & Pradelles,

Gresle & tempestes le fera souspirer.


He who then carries the news,

After a short while will stop to breathe:

Viviers, Tournon, Montferrand and Praddelles,

Hail and storms will make them gasp.


C1:Q67


La grand famine que ie sens approcher,

Souuent tourner, puis estre vniuerselle:

Si grande & longue qu'on viendra arracher,

Du bois racine, & l'enfant de mammelle.


The great famine which I sense approaching,

Will often turn up various areas then become universal:

It will be so vast and long lasting that they will grab,

Roots from the trees and children from the breast.


C1:Q68


O quel horrible & malheureux tourment,

Trois innocens qu'on viendra à liurer:

Poison suspecte, mal gardé tradiment,

Mis en horreur par bourreaux enyurez.


Oh what a horrible and wretched torment,

Three innocent people who will deliver:

Poison suspected, evil treason preserved,

Put in horror by intoxicated executioners.

La grand montaigne ronde de sept stades,

Apres paix, guerre, faim, inondation:

Roulera loin abismant grans contrades,

Mesmes antiques, & grand fondations.


The great mountain, seven stades round,

After peace, war, famine, flooding:

It will spread far, drowning great countries,

Even antiquities and their mighty foundations.


C1:Q70


Pluie, faim, guerre en Perse non cessée,

La foy trop grand trahira le monarque:

Par la finie en Gaule commencee,

Secret augure pour à vn estre parque.


Rain, famine and war in Persia will not cease,

A trust too great will betray the monarch:

For the end in France begins,

A secret sign for one to be sparing.
