Close to adopted Quatrains

Quatrains that nearly found a theme.

1.56  
"Sooner and later you will see great changes made,"
dreadful horrors and vengeances.
For as the moon is thus led by its angel
the heavens draw near to the Balance.

1.57  
The trumpet shakes with great discord.
An agreement broken: lifting the face to heaven:
the bloody mouth will swim with blood;
the face anointed with milk and honey lies on the ground.

1.76

that three sisters will receive from destiny.
"He will speak then to a great people in words and deeds,"
more than any other man will have fame and renown.

1.77  
A promontory stands between two seas:
A man who will die later by the bit of a horse;
Neptune unfurls a black sail for his man;
the fleet near Gibraltar and Rocheval.

"The moon is obscured in deep gloom,"
his brother becomes bright red in color.
The great one hidden for a long time in the shadows
will hold the blade in the bloody wound.

she will show an excess of masculine courage.

will be achieved by a sweet speaking tongue in council.

By sea and land a great uproar will be raised:

Such that one will not know whence they have come;
