Quatrain 5.63 Cold, hunger

From the vain enterprise honor and undue complaint,
Boats tossed about among the Latins, cold, hunger, waves
Not far from the Tiber the land stained with blood,
And diverse plagues will be upon mankind.
Quatrain 3.23 Islands and seas
Si, France, passe outre mer Lygustique,
Tu te verra en isles & mers enclos,
Mahommet contraire plus mer Hadriatique
Cheuaux & d'asnes tu rongeras les os.

You will see yourself shut up in islands and seas:
Mahomet contrary, more so the Adriatic Sea,
You will gnaw the bones of horses and asses.

La loy commune sera faite au contraire
Vieux tiendra fort, puis osté du milieu,
Le Panta choina philon mis fort arriere.
In the places and times of flesh giving way to fish,
The communal law will be made in opposition:
It will hold strongly the old ones, then removed from the midst,
Loving of Everything in Common put far behind.

It will be so vast and long lasting that (they) will grab
roots from the trees and children from the breast.

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.

Seront semez diuers explorateurs:
Puys & fontaines de poyson arrousees
Au fort de Gennes humains deuorateurs.

Diverse spies will be scattered:
Wells and fountains sprinkled with poisons,
At the fort of Genoa devourers of men.

11 And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. [Chapter 8 "Book of revelation" by John the Theologian]

Through long rain the length of the arctic pole:

And he will grow over all the kings of the East.

Et du ƒeul tiltre vi¢teur fort contenté.

Rodes, Bisance de sang barbare tainte.
When those of the arctic pole are united together,
Great terror and fear in the East:
Newly elected, the great trembling supported,
Rhodes, Byzantium stained with Barbarian blood.
Presumably, the future is predicted in the quatrain, when the pole will shift and some populated areas will shift to the Arctic, in unsuitable conditions. This prophecy is associated with 2.49, which also refers to Rhodes and Byzantium.

Near the heavens human blood shed:
