THREE PROPHECIES OF OLD TIME
That Troy should triumph in Rome--
Νῦν δὲ δὴ Αἰνείαο βίη Τρώεσσιν ἀνάξει,
Καὶ παίδων παῖδες, τοί κεν μετόπισθε γένωνται.
Iliad
, xx. 306.That America should be discovered--
"Venient annis
Sæcula seris, quibus Oceanus
Vincula rerum laxet, et ingens
Pateat Tellus, Tiphysque novos
Delegat orbes; nec sit terris
Ultima Thule."
SENECA.
French Revolution, 1788-89, predicted in 10th Century.
"Des le V siècle, Albumasar avait calculé que l'année mil sept cent quatre-vingt-neuf serait féconde en révolutions sociales, à cause de l'une des grandes conjonctions de Saturne. L'astrologie est vanité, erreur, mensonge, tout ce que vous voudrez; mais enfin voilà une prédiction d'une authenticité irrécusable."--ALBUMASAR, De Magnis Conjunctionibus Tract. ii., Different. 8. Vide MIGNÉ, Dict. des Prophéties, ii. 339.
