For the following years of this century. (i.e. 16th Century)

I.

Siecle nouueau, alliance nouuelle,
Vn Marquisat mis dans la nacelle,
A qui plus fort des deux l'emportera,
D'vn Duc d'vn Roy, gallere de Florance,
Port à Marseil, Pucelle dans la France,
De Catherine fort chef on rasera.

New century, new alliance,
A Marquisate put in the bark,
To him who the stronger of the two will carry it off,
Of a Duke and of a King, falley of Florence,
Port at Marseilles, the Damsel in France,
The chief fort of Catherine will be razed.

II.

Que d'or d'argent fera despendre,
Quand Comte voudra Ville prendre,
Tant de mille & mille soldats,
Tuez, noyez, sans y rien faire,
Dans plus forte mettra pied terre,
Pigmée ayde des Censuarts.

How much gold and silver will have to be spent
When the Count will desire to take the town,
Many thousands and thousands of soldiers,
Drowned, killed, without doing anything there,
In stronger land will he set foot,
Pygmy aid by the Copy-holders.

III.

La Ville sans dessus dessous,
Renuersée de mille coups
De canons: & forts dessous terre:
Cinq ans tiendra: le tout remis,
Et lasche à ses ennemis,
L'eau leur fera apres la guerre.

The Town without above below,
Overturned by a thousand shots
From cannons: and fortifications underground:
Five years will it hold: everything delivered up,
And left for its enemies,
The water will make war upon them afterwards.

IV.

D'vn rond, d'vn lis, naistra vn si grand Prince,
Bien tost, & tard venu dans sa Prouince,
Saturne en Libra en exaltation:
Maison de Venus en descroissante force,
Dame en apres masculin soubs l'escorse,
Pour maintenir l'heureux sang de Bourbon.

Of a circle, of a lily, there will be born a very great Prince,
Very soon, and late come into his Province,
Saturn in Libra in exaltation:
The House of Venus in decreasing force,
The Lady thereafter masculine under the bark,
In order to maintain the happy Bourbon blood.

V.

Celuy qui la Principauté,
Tiendra par grande cruauté,
A la fin verra grand phalange:
Par coup de feu tres dangereux,
Par accord pourroit faire mieux,
Autrement boira suc d'Orange.

He who the Principality
Will hold through great cruelty,
He will see his great phalanx at its end:
By very dangerous gunshot,
By agreement he could do better,
Otherwise he will drink Orange juice.

VI.

Quand de Robin la traistreuse entreprise,
Mettra Seigneurs & en peine vn grand Prince,
Sceu par la Fin, chef on luy tranchera:
La plume au vent, amye dans Espagne,
Poste attrappé estant dans la campagne,
Et l'escriuain dans l'eauë se jettera.

When the treacherous enterprise of Robin
Will cause Lords and a great Prince trouble,
Known by Lafin, his head will be cut off:
The feather in the wind, female friend to Spain,
The messenger trapped while in the country,
And the scribe will throw himself into the water.

VII.

La sangsuë au loup se ioindra,
Lorsqu'en mer le bled defaudra,
Mais le grand Prince sans enuie,
Par ambassade luy donra
De son bled pour luy donner vie,
Pour vn besoin s'en pouruoira.

The leech will attach itself to the wolf,
When the grain will sink into the sea,
But the great Prince without envy,
Through his embassy he will give him
Of his own grain to give him life,
He will provide himself with it for time of need.

VIII.

Vn peu deuant l'ouuert commerce,
Ambassadeur viendra de Perse,
Nouuelle au franc pays porter:
Mais non receu, vaine esperance
A son grand Dieu sera l'offance,
Feignant de le vouloir quitter.

Shortly before the opening of commerce,
An ambassador will come from Persia,
To bring news to the Frank land:
But unreceived, vain hope,
It will be an offense to his great God,
Pretending to desire to abandom him.

IX.

Deux estendars du costé de l'Auuergne,
Senestre pris, pour un temps prison regne,
Et vne Dame enfans voudra mener,
Au Censuart mais descouuert l'affaire,
Danger de mort murmure sur la terre,
Germain, Bastille frere & soeur prisonnier.

Two standards from the direction of Auvergne,
The left one taken, for a time prison rule,
And a Lady will want to lead her child
To the Copy-holder but the affair is discovered,
Danger of death and murmur throughout the land,

X.

Ambassadeur pour vne Dame,
A son vaisseau mettra la rame,
Pour prier le grand medecin:
Que de l'oster de telle peine,
Mais en ce s'opposera Royne,
Grand peine auant qu'en veoir la fin.

The Ambassador for a Lady
To his vessel will put the oar,
To beseech the great physician
That he relieve her of such pain,
But to this a Queen will be opposed,
Great pain before seeing the end of it.

XI.

Durant le siecle on verra deux ruisseaux,
Tout vn terroir inonder de leurs eaux,
Et submerger par ruisseaux & fontaines:
Coups & Monfrin Beccoyran, & ales,
Par le gardon bien souuant trauaillez,
Six cens & quatre alez, & trente moines.

Meurtre commis, prestre demande
Tremblant de peur se sauuera.

At a church after the offering
Murder committed, the priest begs
Trembling with fear he will flee.

XIII.

L'auanturier six cens & six ou neuf,
Sera surpris par fiel mis dans vn oeuf,
Et peu apres sera hors de puissance
Par le puissant Empereur general
Qu'au monde n'est vn pareil ny esgal,
Dont vn chascun luy rend obeïssance.

And shortly afterwards he will be out of power
Through the powerful Emperor-General

Of which each iwll render him obedience.

XIV.

Nouueau esleu patron du grand vaisseau,
Verra long temps briller le cler flambeau
Qui sert de lampe à ce grand territoire,
Et auquel temps armez sous son nom,
Ioinctes à celles de l'heureux de Bourbon
Leuant, Ponant, & Couchant sa memoire.

Au mesme temps vn grand endurera,
Ioyeux mal sain, l'an complet ne verra,
Et quelques vns qui seront de la feste,
Feste pour vn seulement, à ce iour,
Mais peu apres sans faire long seiour,
Deux se donront l'vn à l'autre de la teste.

At the same time a great one will suffer,

And several who will be at the feast,
Feast for one only, on this day,
But shortly afterwards without delaying long,
Two will knock their heads together.

XVIII.

Considerant la triste Philomelle
Qu'en pleurs & cris sa peine renouuelle,
Racoursissant par tel moyen ses iours,
Six cens & cinq, elle en verra l'issuë,
De son tourment, ia la toille tissuë,
Par son moyen senestre aura secours.

Tenu la cage & puis les bois,
R'entre à son premier estre
Vie sauue peu apres sortir,
Ne se sc,achant encor congnoistre,
Cherchera sujet pour mourir.

L'autheur des maux commencera regner
En l'an six cens & sept sans espargner
Tous les subiets qui sont à la sangsuë,

Au franc pays r'allumer son feu,
S'en retournant d'où elle est issuë.

In the year six hundred and seven without sparing
All her subjects who belong to the leach,

XXII.

Cil qui dira, descouurissant l'affaire,
Comme du mort, la mort pourra bien faire
Coups de poignards par vn qu'auront induit,
Sa fin sera pis qu'il n'aura fait faire
La fin conduit les hommes sur la terre,
Guete' par tout, tant le iour que la nuit.

His near ruin, & March that tousiours scolds:
will make great facts near Saincte land,
Great estendars on the Earth & on the Wave,
If the nave has two pregnant brothers.

LVII.

Peu apres l'aliance faicte,
Auant solemniser la feste,
L'Empereur le tout troublera,
Et la nouuelle mariée,
Au franc pays par sort liée,

Dans peu de temps apres mourra.

Shortly after the Aliance made,
Auant Solemniser the Feste,
The Emperor'll disturb him,
And the new bride,
To the free country by bound spell,
Soon after will die

LVIII.

Sangsuë en peu de temps mourra,
Sa mort bon signe nous donra,
Pour l'accroissement de la France,
Alliance se trouueront,
Deux grands Royaumes se ioindront,

Fran&cced;ois aura sur eux puissance.

Sangsuë in a short time will die,
His death good sign US Donra,
For the growth of France,
Alliance is Trouueront,
Two great kingdoms are Ioindront,
Fran & Seac; Ois will have on them power.

FIN DES SIXAINS.

The Sexains 35 onwards were translated by me using Google online translation, but it is not good..
