Par le despit du Roy soustenant moindre,
Sera meurdry luy presentant les bagues,
Le pere au filz moulant noblesse poindre
Fait comme à Perse jadis feirent les Mague.
The Magi were astrologers who followed the teachings of Zoroaster. They completely reformed the ancient nation of Persia from it’s prior, Vedic orientation, giving it a new religious influence and becoming the main religious force for a number of centuries.
That indicates that what this quatrain talks about is an event that is as influential and as powerful as what the Magi did to Persia. This strongly indicates the Middle East, placing this in the future.
Pour ne vouloir consentir au divorcee,
Qui puis apres sera cogneu indigne,
Le roy des Isles sera chassé par force
Mis à son lieu que de roy n’aura signe.
The isles can only refer to the Isles of Great Britain and Ireland.
Edward Windsor was the eighth Edward to hold the crown of England. He ascended to the throne January 20th of 1936. But on December 11 of the same year, he abdicated the throne without ever being crowned.
The cause of this was his love for an American divorcee, Wallis Warfield Simpson. Edward loved Wallis but the British people did not; they hated the divorcee, considering it beneath the dignity of the Crown. Edward hung on as best he could, but dropping Ms. Simpson was something he refused to do. By December, he recognized the situation was hopeless so he abdicated the throne. His brother, Prince Albert, who was a stutterer and was not trained to be the monarch, reluctantly ascended the throne as George VI.
Au peuple ingrat faictes les remonstrances,
Par lors l’armee se saisira d’Antibe,
Dans l’arc Monech feront les doleances,
Et à Freius l’un l’autre prendra ribe.
Antibes and Fréjus are in southern France along the Mediterranean coast, Fréjus being somewhat west of Antibes. Monaco is the principality along the Mediterranean coast. The quatrain is self-explanatory.
Le captif prince aux Italles vaincu
Passera Gennes par mer icsqu’à Marseille,
Par grand effort des forens suruaincu
Sauf coup de feu barril liqueur d’abeille.
The key that ties this in to Napoléon is line 4: the bee was Napoléon’s personal symbol. The timing is obvious from the second line. Napoléon had been captured and exiled to the isle of Elba, which, while he was officially the ruler there, was also his prison.
The situation was developed by Louis XVIII. For most of his life he was firmly opposed to the principles of the Revolution, he was an ardent proponent of the ancien régime. During the days before Napoléon’s stunning return, he made many efforts to reverse the results of the Revolution. During the days of Napoléon, the people had rights the present regime was denying. He also tried to end the Code Civil de France and reintroduce the chaotic system that predated the Revolution. This made him very unpopular, the people started to hate their monarch and looked with longing to the days when Napoléon ruled. All this information went to Napoléon. He heard, he kept his eye on the situation in France, and he plotted.
Napoléon left Elba and traveled by sea past Genoa to Antibes, which is near Marseilles. Marseilles here stands for all of France. He marched up the coast to great acclaim. However, the large army he had hoped for did not result; many of the soldiers supported the monarchy. The staunchest bourbon opponent was no less than Madam Royal, who was the last to flee France and was forced to do so only when it became apparent that her situation was hopeless.
The allies at the Congress of Vienna were not slow to respond. The declared Napoléon an outlaw and each pledged an army of 150,000 to crush the upstart. None of the countries were able to draw up their full amounts. The British only had about 30,000, the Prussians under Blücher about 110,000. Various allied states who served under Wellington gave less. The Austrians and Russians were slow to mobilize. But it was enough. Battle was joined. Napoléon defeated Blücher at Ligny. Ney beat Wellington at Quatre-Bras because Wellington was not being attentive and only lost because he too was being inattentive, something that the Duke would later admit. But what mattered was the third battle: Waterloo.
There, while Napoléon personally lead the fight against the British, he ws surprised because the British refused to show their back or to retreat. This courage and daring allowed Blücher to finally effected the joining of the two allied armies, turning the tide and finally defeating his enemy Napoléon.
But the liqueur of the bee, the Code Napoléon, would live on, and become a powerful influence throughout the 19th century. It would also show its inspiration in the 20th century when the reactionary monarchies finally committed political suicide in the fury of the First World War.
Par Nebro ouvrir de Brisanne passage,
Bien eslonguez el tago fara muestra,
Dans Pelligouxe sera commis l’outrage
De la grand dame assise sur l’orchestra.
Nebro refers to the Ebro River, Spain’s most important river. El tago fara muestra is a rare sequence, a Spanish phrase, I could translate all but fara which is likely old spanish. The Tago River is in Southern Spain. The Tago, the Ebro and the Spanish phrase gives the quatrain an unmistakable Spanish flavor. Peligros is the closest translation I could find to Pelligouxe, it is a Spanish city not far from Granada. The key is the Brisanne passage.
La successeur vengera son beau frere,
Occuper regne souz umbre de vengeance,
Occis ostacle son sang mort vitupere,
Long temps Bretaigne tiendra avec la France.
Note on Translation: The key is in the proper translation of beau frere. I think that the modern version is beau frère, brother-in-law. That this refers to France is beyond a doubt. The final clue is found in line 4: Bretaigne, which is Brittany. The time when Brittany was firmly tied to France occurred during the closing days of the Religious Wars of France.
With this understanding, the quatrain lays out to us like a historical statement. Henri de Navarre was married to the sister of Henri III, making them brother-in-laws. When Jacques Clement of the Catholic League assassinated Henri III, Henri de Navarre, the admitted and official heir to the French throne, claimed the throne in the name of avenging his brother-in-law’s death, which he blamed on the Catholic League. During the closing days of the war, Brittany became a crown province, becoming tied to the French monarchy untill the days the monarchy ceased to exist.
Par le cinquieme & un grand Hercules,
Viendront le temple ouvrir de main bellique,
Un Clement, Jule, & Ascans recules,
Lespe, clef, aigle n’current onc si grand picque.
In another quatrain, Hercules is tied to the Æmathien, who is Louis XIV. Hercules is John Churchill, Duke of Marlborough. This places the quatrain.
Clement is Pope Clement XI, who was pope from 1700 to 1721. He is one of the two protagonists in the fight. When Charles II of Spain willed his entire domain to Philippe, duc de Anjou, Clement acknowledged the validity of the claim. But this angered Leopold I of the Holy Roman Empire, who claimed the throne for his relative, Archduke Charles. Leopold was further angered when Clement supported a French attack on Austria, an attack that was stopped when Churchill’s army defeated the French attack at the battle of Blenheim. Leopold struck. His general, Prince Eugene led the Austrian forces. Clement fought as well as he could, but the Austrian forces were overwhelming. After he lost several areas, he was forced to accede to Leopold’s demands that Charles was the King of Spain.
I cannot determine who Julius is, probably Joseph I or Archduke Charles, and Ascans remains an unsolved anagram. That said, the Sword, the Key and the Eagle are obvious. The Key represents the Papal States, the Eagle represents the Austrian Imperial Eagle and the sword represents the sword of war. The temple is the Holy See.
Second & tiers qui font prime musicque,
Sera par Roy en honneur sublimee,
Par grasse & maigre presque demy eticque,
Report de Venus faulx randra deprimee.
Note on Translation: Eticque is obviously altered to rhyme with musicque. I read it as étiquette.
The second and third are the Second Empire and the Third Republic. The king is Louis Napoléon. The fat and the thin were the bourgeois and proletariat, who each formed governments when the government of Napoléon collapsed. But the Commune, the government of the proletariat, found that it’s high ended beliefs were futile. The Commune was forced to follow the path of Robespierre and was inevitably crushed.
De Pol MANSOL dans caverne caprine
Caché & prins extrait hors par la barbe,
Captif mené comme beste mastine
Par Begourdans amenee pres de Tarbe.
Two questions remain to be answered. First, there is the reference to the beard in line 2, does it tie with the Aenobarb, or Bronze beard, quatrains? Second, is Begourdans an anagram for Bedouins, the people of Arabia? Regardless, Tarbes is a small city in southern France, not far from the Pyrenees Mountains. And MANSOL is definitely an important word, though what it means is beyond my ability to understand.
This could be the future, though the word Mansol is likely tied to Quatrain 27 of the 4th century and Quatrain 57 of the 10th century. The latter is an apt description of the hot air balloon and its military use, so it is highly likely that this quatrain is already fulfilled.
Nepheu & sang du sainct nouveau venu,
Par le surnom soustient arcs & couvert
Seront chassez mis à mort chassez nu,
En ronge & noir convertiront leur vert.
The only thing I can guess as is that the arches and shelter refer to the churches. Beyond that, I must leave this to the reader to interpret. It may be a future quatrain.
