 Through hills man shall ride,
 And no horses be at his side. Under water man shall walk,
 Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the air man shall be seen,
 In back, in white, in green.
 Iron in the water shall float,
 As easily as q wooden boat. Gold shall be found and shown, IF a land that is not now known. Fire and water shall wonder do, England at last shall admit a foe. The world to an end shall come, In eighteen hundred and eighty
 one.
 December the 30th it shall be,
 A fire from heaven ye shall see. Between the hour two and three, The New World time it shall be, Twenty-Five minutes to three"
