The following Prophecy of Johannes Lichtenberg, a Carthusian
Monk, well versed in astronomy, who lived about the year
1720, may perhaps divert some of your readers, and for that
end I have endeavoured to put it into an English dress.
I. Wanneer den Arend sich sal aen de Lely binden,
Dan sal men haest de val van't weeligh Roomen vinden;
Der Vrancken Koningh dan sijn vleugels soo ver recht,
Dat by gantsch Duytsland voor Bescherrem Heer verstreckt.
I. When e'er the Eagle and the Lilly join,
You then will see the Papal power decline;
The French King then with wings extended wide,
Shall seem to every German Prince a guide . . . [16
lines]
