Feu, grand deluge, plus par ignares sceptres:
Que de long siecle ne verra refait.
Alas! what a great loss there will be because letters,
Before the cycle of the Latone perfect,
Fire, great floods, by more ignorant rulers;
Which for long centuries until it is seen to be restored.
Latone (Leto), in ancient Greek mythology, is the mother of Apollo and Artemis. This line can be interpreted in two ways: 1) as events that occurred in the spring, before the start of summer; 2) fire and flood are the apocalypse, then the cycle of the perfect, golden millennium.

Quatrain 2.5 Submarine
Quand dans poisson fer & lettre enfermee
Hors sortira qui pis fera la guerre,
Aura par mer sa classe bien ramee
Apparoissant pres de Latine terre.
When in a iron fish and letter concluded,
Out will go one who will then make war,
He will have his fleet well rowed by sea,
Appearing near Latin land.
Quatrain 1.28 Deadly quarrel
La tour de Bouq craindra fuste Barbare
Vn temps, long temps apres barque hespe- (rique,
Bestail, gens, meubles tuous deux ferot (grand'tare
Taurus & Libra quelle mortelle picque.
The Tower of the Beech will be afraid of the barbarian forest
After a long time, after the Hesperian boat,
Cattle, people, possessions, all will be quite lost.
What a deadly combat in Taurus and Libra.
Barbarian forest is Russia, most likely. The Tower of the Beech can symbolize America with its skyscrapers. This quatrain placed in section 3 World war, because it says about the damage caused to everything – radioactive contamination.

Quatrain 1.55 3 World war
Soubz l'opposite climat Babylonique,
Grande sera de sang effusion,
Que terre & mer, air, Ciel sera inique,
Sectes, faim, regnes, pestes, confusion.
In the land with a climate opposite to Babylon,
There will be great shedding of blood.
Heaven will seem unjust both on land and sea and in the air.
The sects, famine, kingdoms, plagues, confusion.
Akin to this quatrain is in the Gospel of Matthew Chapter 24:
6. Also had hear about wars and military rumors. Do not be horrified, because it should be, but it's not the end:
7. For the people shall rise against the people, and the kingdom against the kingdom; and there will be famines, pestilences and earthquakes in places;
8. Yet this is the beginning of disease.
Quatrain 2.91 When the Sun will rise
Soleil leuant vn grand feu on verra,
Bruit & clartе vers Aquilon tendant:
Dedans le rond mort & cris on orra,
Par glaiue, feu, faim mort les attendans.
At sunrise one will see a great fire,
Noise and light extending toward Aquilon:
Within the circle death and will hear cries,
Through steel, fire, famine, death awaiting them.
