==Century II==
;1
:Towards Aquitaine by the British Isles
:By these themselves great incursions.
:Rains, frosts will make the soil uneven,
:Port Selyn will make mighty invasions
;2
:The blue head will inflict upon the white head
:As much evil as France has done them good:
:Dead at the sail-yard the great one hung on the branch.
:When seized by his own the King will say how much.
;3
:Because of the solar heat on the sea
:From Negrepont the fishes half cooked:
:The inhabitants will come to cut them,
:When food will fail in Rhodes and Genoa.
;4
:From Monaco to near Sicily
:The entire coast will remain desolated:
:There will remain there no suburb, city or town
:Not pillaged and robbed by the Barbarians.
;5
:That which is enclosed in iron and letter in a fish,
:Out will go one who will then make war,
:He will have his fleet well rowed by sea,
:Appearing near Latin land.
;6
:Near the gates and within two cities
:There will be two scourges the like of which was never seen,
:Famine within plague, people put out by steel,
:Crying to the great immortal God for relief.
;7
:Amongst several transported to the isles,
:One to be born with two teeth in his mouth
:They will die of famine the trees stripped,
:For them a new King issues a new edict.
;8
:Temples consecrated in the original Roman manner,
:They will reject the excess foundations,
:Taking their first and humane laws,
:Chasing, though not entirely, the cult of saints.
;9
:Nine years the lean one will hold the realm in peace,
:Then he will fall into a very bloody thirst:
:Because of him a great people will die without faith and law
:Killed by one far more good-natured.
;10
:Before long all will be set in order,
:We will expect a very sinister century,
:The state of the masked and solitary ones much changed,
:Few will be found who want to be in their place.
;11
:The nearest son of the elder will attain
:Very great height as far as the realm of the privileged:
:Everyone will fear his fierce glory,
:But his children will be thrown out of the realm.
;12
:Eyes closed, opened by antique fantasy,
:The garb of the monks they will be put to naught:
:The great monarch will chastise their frenzy,
:Ravishing the treasure in front of the temples.
;13
:The body without soul no longer to be sacrificed:
:Day of death put for birthday:
:The divine spirit will make the soul happy,
:Seeing the word in its eternity.
;14
:At Tours, Gien, guarded, eyes will be searching,
:Discovering from afar her serene Highness:
:She and her suite will enter the port,
:Combat, thrust, sovereign power.
;15
:Shortly before the monarch is assassinated,
:Castor and Pollux in the ship, bearded star:
:The public treasure emptied by land and sea,
:Pisa, Asti, Ferrara, Turin land under interdict.
;16
:Naples, Palermo, Sicily, Syracuse,
:New tyrants, celestial lightning fires:
:Force from London, Ghent, Brussels and Susa,
:Great slaughter, triumph leads to festivities.
;17
:The field of the temple of the vestal virgin,
:Not far from Elne and the Pyrenees mountains:
:The great tube is hidden in the trunk.
:To the north rivers overflown and vines battered.
;18
:New, impetuous and sudden rain
:Will suddenly halt two armies.
:Celestial stone, fires make the sea stony,
:The death of seven by land and sea sudden.
;19
:Newcomers, place built without defense,
:Place occupied then uninhabitable:
:Meadows, houses, fields, towns to take at pleasure,
:Famine, plague, war, extensive land arable.
;20
:Brothers and sisters captive in diverse places
:Will find themselves passing near the monarch:
:Contemplating them his branches attentive,
:Displeasing to see the marks on chin, forehead and nose.
;21
:The ambassador sent by biremes,
:Halfway repelled by unknown ones:
:Reinforced with salt four triremes will come,
:In Euboea bound with ropes and chains.
;22
:The imprudent army of Europe will depart,
:Collecting itself near the submerged isle:
:The weak fleet will bend the phalanx,
:At the navel of the world a greater voice substituted.
;23
:Palace birds, chased out by a bird,
:Very soon after the prince has arrived:
:Although the enemy is repelled beyond the river,
:Outside seized the trick upheld by the bird.
;24
:Beasts ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers:
:The greater part of the region will be against the Hister,
:The great one will cause it to be dragged in an iron cage,
:When the German child will observe nothing.
;25
:The foreign guard will betray the fortress,
:Hope and shadow of a higher marriage:
:Guard deceived, fort seized in the press,
:Loire, Saone, Rhone, Garonne, mortal outrage.
;26
:Because of the favor that the city will show
:To the great one who will soon lose the field of battle,
:Fleeing the Po position, the Ticino will overflow
:With blood, fires, deaths, drowned by the long-edged blow.
;27
:The divine word will be struck from the sky,
:One who cannot proceed any further:
:The secret closed up with the revelation,
:Such that they will march over and ahead.
;28
:The penultimate of the surname of the Prophet
:Will take Diana [Thursday] for his day and rest:
:He will wander far because of a frantic head,
:And delivering a great people from subjection.
;29
:The Easterner will leave his seat,
:To pass the Apennine mountains to see Gaul:
:He will transpire the sky, the waters and the snow,
:And everyone will be struck with his rod.
;30
:One who the infernal gods of Hannibal
:Will cause to be reborn, terror of mankind
:Never more horror nor worse of days
:In the past than will come to the Romans through Babel.
;31
:In Campania the Capuan [river] will do so much
:That one will see only fields covered by waters:
:Before and after the long rain
:One will see nothing green except the trees.
;32
:Milk, frog's blood prepared in Dalmatia.
:Conflict given, plague near Treglia:
:A great cry will sound through all Slavonia,
:Then a monster will be born near and within Ravenna.
;33
:Through the torrent which descends from Verona
:Its entry will then be guided to the Po,
:A great wreck, and no less in the Garonne,
:When those of Genoa march against their country.
;34
:The senseless ire of the furious combat
:Will cause steel to be flashed at the table by brothers:
:To part them death, wound, and curiously,
:The proud duel will come to harm France.
;35
:The fire by night will take hold in two lodgings,
:Several within suffocated and roasted.
:It will happen near two rivers as one:
:Sun, Sagittarius and Capricorn all will be reduced.
;36
:The letters of the great Prophet will be seized,
:They will come to fall into the hands of the tyrant:
:His enterprise will be to deceive his King,
:But his extortions will very soon trouble him.
;37
:Of that great number that one will send
:To relieve those besieged in the fort,
:Plague and famine will devour them all,
:Except seventy who will be destroyed.
;38
:A great number will be condemned
:When the monarchs will be reconciled:
:But for one of them such a bad impediment will arise
:That they will be joined together but loosely.
;39
:One year before the Italian conflict,
:Germans, Gauls, Spaniards for the fort:
:The republican schoolhouse will fall,
:There, except for a few, they will be choked dead.
;40
:Shortly afterwards, without a very long interval,
:By sea and land a great uproar will be raised:
:Naval battle will be very much greater,
:Fires, animals, those who will cause greater insult.
;41
:The great star will burn for seven days,
:The cloud will cause two suns to appear:
:The big mastiff will howl all night
:When the great pontiff will change country.
;42
:Cock, dogs and cats will be satiated with blood
:And from the wound of the tyrant found dead,
:At the bed of another legs and arms broken,
:He who was not afraid to die a cruel death.
;43
:During the appearance of the bearded star.
:The three great princes will be made enemies:
:Struck from the sky, peace earth quaking,
:Po, Tiber overflowing, serpent placed upon the shore.
;44
:The Eagle driven back around the tents
:Will be chased from there by other birds:
:When the noise of cymbals, trumpets and bells
:Will restore the senses of the senseless lady.
;45
:Too much the heavens weep for the Androgyne begotten,
:Near the heavens human blood shed:
:Because of death too late a great people re-created,
:Late and soon the awaited relief comes.
;46
:After great trouble for humanity, a greater one is prepared
:The Great Mover renews the ages:
:Rain, blood, milk, famine, steel and plague,
:Is the heavens fire seen, a long spark running.
;47
:The great old enemy mourning dies of poison,
:The sovereigns subjugated in infinite numbers:
:Stones raining, hidden under the fleece,
:Through death articles are cited in vain.
;48
:The great force which will pass the mountains.
:Saturn in Sagittarius Mars turning from the fish:
:Poison hidden under the heads of salmon,
:Their war-chief hung with cord.
;49
:The advisers of the first monopoly,
:The conquerors seduced for Malta:
:Rhodes, Byzantium for them exposing their pole:
:Land will fail the pursuers in flight.
;50
:When those of Hainault, of Ghent and of Brussels
:Will see the siege laid before Langres:
:Behind their flanks there will be cruel wars,
:The ancient wound will do worse than enemies.
;51
:The blood of the just will commit a fault at London,
:Burnt through lightning of twenty threes the six:
:The ancient lady will fall from her high place,
:Several of the same sect will be killed.
;52
:For several nights the earth will tremble:
:In the spring two efforts in succession:
:Corinth, Ephesus will swim in the two seas:
:War stirred up by two valiant in combat.
;53
:The great plague of the maritime city
:Will not cease until there be avenged the death
:Of the just blood, condemned for a price without crime,
:Of the great lady outraged by pretense.
;54.
:Because of people strange, and distant from the Romans
:Their great city much troubled after water:
:Daughter handless, domain too different,
:Chief taken, lock not having been picked.
;55
:In the conflict the great one who was worth little
:At his end will perform a marvelous deed:
:While Adria will see what he was lacking,
:During the banquet the proud one stabbed.
;56
:One whom neither plague nor steel knew how to finish,
:Death on the summit of the hills struck from the sky:
:The abbot will die when he will see ruined
:Those of the wreck wishing to seize the rock.
;57
:Before the conflict the great wall will fall,
:The great one to death, death too sudden and lamented,
:Born imperfect: the greater part will swim:
:Near the river the land stained with blood.
;58
:With neither foot nor hand because of sharp and strong tooth
:Through the crowd to the fort of the pork and the elder born:
:Near the portal treacherous proceeds,
:Moon shining, little great one led off.
;59
:Gallic fleet through support of the great guard
:Of the great Neptune, and his trident soldiers,
:Provence reddened to sustain a great band:
:More at Narbonne, because of javelins and darts.
;60
:The Punic faith broken in the East,
:Ganges, Jordan, and Rhone, Loire, and Tagus will change:
:When the hunger of the mule will be satiated,
:Fleet sprinkles, blood and bodies will swim.
;61
:Bravo, ye of Tamins, Gironde and La Rochelle:
:O Trojan blood! Mars at the port of the arrow
:Behind the river the ladder put to the fort,
:Points to fire great murder on the breach.
;62
:Mabus then will soon die, there will come
:Of people and beasts a horrible rout:
:Then suddenly one will see vengeance,
:Hundred, hand, thirst, hunger when the comet will run.
;64
:The Gauls Ausonia will subjugate very little,
:Po, Marne and Seine Parma will make drunk:
:He who will prepare the great wall against them,
:He will lose his life from the least at the wall.
;64
:The people of Geneva drying up with hunger, with thirst,
:Hope at hand will come to fail:
:On the point of trembling will be the law of him of the Cevennes,
:Fleet at the great port cannot be received.
;65
:The sloping park great calamity
:To be done through Hesperia and Insubria:
:The fire in the ship, plague and captivity,
:Mercury in Sagittarius Saturn will fade.
;66
:Through great dangers the captive escaped:
:In a short time great his fortune changed.
:In the palace the people are trapped,
:Through good omen the city besieged.
;67
:The blond one will come to compromise the fork-nosed one
:Through the duel and will chase him out:
:The exiles within he will have restored,
:Committing the strongest to the marine places.
;68
:The efforts of Aquilon will be great:
:The gate on the Ocean will be opened,
:The kingdom on the Isle will be restored
:London will tremble discovered by sail.
;69
:The Gallic King through his Celtic right arm
:Seeing the discord of the great Monarchy:
:He will cause his scepter to flourish over the three parts,
:Against the cope of the great Hierarchy.
;70
:The dart from the sky will make its extension,
:Deaths speaking: great execution.
:The stone in the tree, the proud nation restored,
:Noise, human monster, purge expiation.
;71
:The exiles will come into Sicily
:To deliver form hunger the strange nation:
:At daybreak the Celts will fail them:
:Life remains by reason: the King joins.
;72
:Celtic army vexed in Italy
:On all sides conflict and great loss:
:Romans fled, O Gaul repelled!
:Near the Ticino, Rubicon uncertain battle.
;73
:The shore of Lake Garda to Lake Fucino,
:Taken from the Lake of Geneva to the port of L'Orguion:
:Born with three arms the predicted warlike image,
:Through three crowns to the great Endymion.
;74
:From Sens, from Autun they will come as far as the Rhone
:To pass beyond towards the Pyrenees mountains:
:The nation to leave the March of Ancona:
:By land and sea it will be followed by great suites.
;75
:The voice of the rare bird heard,
:On the pipe of the air-vent floor:
:So high will the bushel of wheat rise,
:That man will be eating his fellow man.
;76.
:Lightning in Burgundy will perform a portentous deed,
:One which could never have been done by skill,
:Sexton made lame by their senate
:Will make the affair known to the enemies.
;77
:Hurled back through bows, fires, pitch and by fires:
:Cries, howls heard at midnight:
:Within they are place on the broken ramparts,
:The traitors fled by the underground passages.
;78.
:The great Neptune of the deep of the sea
:With Punic race and Gallic blood mixed.
:The Isles bled, because of the tardy rowing:
:More harm will it do him than the ill-concealed secret.
;79
:The beard frizzled and black through skill
:Will subjugate the cruel and proud people:
:The great Chyren will remove from far away
:All those captured by the banner of Selin
;80
:After the conflict by the eloquence of the wounded one
:For a short time a soft rest is contrived:
:The great ones are not to be allowed deliverance at all:
:They are restored by the enemies at the proper time.
;81
:Through fire from the sky the city almost burned:
:The Urn threatens Deucalion again:
:Sardinia vexed by the Punic foist,
:After Libra will leave her Phaethon.
;82
:Through hunger the prey will make the wolf prisoner,
:The aggressor then in extreme distress.
:The heir having the last one before him,
:The great one does not escape in the middle of the crowd.
;83
:The large trade of a great Lyons changed,
:The greater part turns to pristine ruin
:Prey to the soldiers swept away by pillage:
:Through the Jura mountain and Suevia drizzle.
;84
:Between Campania, Siena, Florence, Tuscany,
:Six months nine days without a drop of rain:
:The strange tongue in the Dalmatian land,
:It will overrun, devastating the entire land.
;85
:The old full beard under the severe statute
:Made at Lyon over the Celtic Eagle:
:The little great one perseveres too far:
:Noise of arms in the sky: Ligurian sea red.
;86
:Wreck for the fleet near the Adriatic Sea:
:The land trembles stirred up upon the air placed on land:
:Egypt trembles Mahometan increase,
:The Herald surrendering himself is appointed to cry out.
;87
:After there will come from the outermost countries
:A German Prince, upon the golden throne:
:The servitude and waters met,
:The lady serves, her time no longer adored.
;88
:The circuit of the great ruinous deed,
:The seventh name of the fifth will be:
:Of a third greater the stranger warlike:
:Sheep, Paris, Aix will not guarantee.
;89
:One day the two great masters will be friends,
:Their great power will be seen increased:
:The new land will be at its high peak,
:To the bloody one the number recounted.
;90
:Though life and death the realm of Hungary changed:
:The law will be more harsh than service:
:Their great city cries out with howls and laments,
:Castor and Pollux enemies in the arena.
;91.
:At sunrise one will see a great fire,
:Noise and light extending towards Aquilon:
:Within the circle death and one will hear cries,
:Through steel, fire, famine, death awaiting them.
;92
:Fire color of gold from the sky seen on earth:
:Heir struck from on high, marvelous deed done:
:Great human murder: the nephew of the great one taken,
:Deaths spectacular the proud one escaped.

:Shortly before great inundation:
:The chief of the ship taken, thrown into the bilge:
:Castle, palace in conflagration.
;94
:Great Po, great evil will be received through Gauls,
:Vain terror to the maritime Lion:
:People will pass by the sea in infinite numbers,
:Without a quarter of a million escaping.
;95
:The populous places will be uninhabitable:
:Great discord to obtain fields:
:Realms delivered to prudent incapable ones:
:Then for the great brothers dissension and death.
;96
:Burning torch will be seen in the sky at night
:Near the end and beginning of the Rhone:
:Famine, steel: the relief provided late,
:Persia turns to invade Macedonia.
;97
:Roman Pontiff beware of approaching
:The city that two rivers flow through,
:Near there your blood will come to spurt,
:You and yours when the rose will flourish.
;98
:The one whose face is splattered with the blood
:Of the victim nearly sacrificed:
:Jupiter in Leon, omen through presage:
:To be put to death then for the bride.
;99
:Roman land as the omen interpreted
:Will be vexed too much by the Gallic people:
:But the Celtic nation will fear the hour,
:The fleet has been pushed too far by the north wind.
;100
:Within the isles a very horrible uproar,
:One will hear only a party of war,
:So great will be the insult of the plunderers
:That they will come to be joined in the great league.
