CENTURY 7

1

The arc of the treasure 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 the ball, 
the people of Ptolon will be party to the fraud. 

4

The Duke of Langres besieged at Dôle 
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, Palerma 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 shephers' clothing, red gulfs in the deep ditch. 

8

Florense, flee, flee the nearest Roman, 
at Fiesole will be conflict given: 
blood shed, the greatest one take by the hand, 
neither tample 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 here 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 the 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 vity of the Insubrain 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 of 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, banquets, every person asleep, 
the vicar at Rhône, 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 lighthearted, 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 Hyerès, ships, prow into the darkness. 

38

The elder royal one on a frisky horse 
will spur so fiercely that it will bolt. 
Mouth, mouthfull, 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 oatrs 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 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 in 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.
