and inventions mentioned therein. All the events predicted have come
to pass except that in the last two lines.

Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.

Around the world thoughts shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.

Waters shall yet more wonders do,
Now strange, yet shall be true.

The world upside down shall be,
And gold be found at root of tree.

Through hills man shall ride,
And no horse nor ass be at his side.

Under water man shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.

In the air men shall be seen
In white, in black, in green.

Iron in the water shall float,
As easy as a wooden boat.

Gold shall be found 'mid stone,
In a land that's now unknown.
