A Lamentable List, of certain Hideous, Frightful, and Prodigious Signs, which have been seen in the Air, Earth, and Waters, at several times for these 18. years last passed, to this present: that is to say, Anno. 1618. until this instant. Anno. 1638. In Germany, and other Kingdoms and Provinces adjacent; which ought to be so many several warnings to our Kingdom, as to the said Empire.  
To the tune of Aim not to high.  
 

YOu who would be informed of foreign news,  
Attend to this which presently ensues,  
And you shall hear such marvels here expressed,  
In eighteen years' last passed made manifest.   

In Germany that famous Empire fair,  
Strange sights were seene'ith water earth & air,  
Which from good testimonies hither brought,  
That we may know with 't wonders God hath wrought   

In Anno sixteen hundred and eighteen,  
A blazing Star was o'er Bohemia seen,  
Which for the space of seven and twenty days,  
Within the sky most fearfully did blaze.   

And in Hungaria (as 'tis understood,)  
Water was Metamorphosed into blood.  
In Brunswick-land (within an evening fair,)  
Were seen two armies fight in the air.   

Three Rainbows and three Suns (all in one day)  
Were at Vienna seen in Austria:  
And over Lints in Austria (named before,)  
A noise like Ordinance in the air did roar.   

At Darmsted blood did drop from leaves of trees,  
And what at Tursin happed with this agrees,  
Where chairs, stools, walls, and other things did sweat,  
An oil resembling blood by just conceit.   

I'th' Dukedom of Wirtemberg it reigned gore,  
(As it hath been in England heretofore.)  
Over Bohemia fiery beams did oppose  
The Sun, and cracked like Rockets in our shoes.   

A dreadful tempest hailed at Ratisbone,  
Strange fruit near Frankendal the like ne'er known.  
Crows in Silesia fought a mortal battle,  
Lightning and thunder in the sky did rattle.   

The Sun in monstrous forme'ith air was shown  
With a strange Rainbow over Hunborow town:  
Great bands with horsemen in array did stand,  
With Ordnance in the air o'er Pomerland.   

near Strausburg was brought forth a monstrous birth.  
Such as was seldom seen upon the earth.  
A sword, and rod within the Heavens were,  
At Saxon in (Sylesia) seen to ' appear.   

The Second Part  
to the same Tune.  

Strange fire ran through the town of Coburg, and  
No hurt it did (that men could understand.)  
In Saxony water to blood did turn,  
At Magdenburg a child in armour borne.   

O'er Lutzin was a beauteous Virgin seen,  
A Candle, and a Handkerchief between  
Her hands she held, (in open view of all:)  
Water turned blood in Saxony at Hall.   

Blood issued from a loaf of Bread, (firm dry,)  
At Frowensteine a Town in Saxony:  
A monster borne at Kempton in Swabland,  
And like wise blood did spring out of a Pond.   

In Brandenburg (at Berlin) heaven sent  
Both blood, and brimstone, from the firmament:  
A fiery Sceptre was i'th' air beheld,  
Great flocks of Birds fought, & each other killed.   

Blood perfect from a water Conduit ran,  
A Worm was found t' th' full shape of a man.  
At Weimer water did to blood convert,  
These wondrous Signs may move a Christian heart.   

At Vienna a Woman strange appeared,  
(Whereat some of the people were afeard:)  
And at St. Stephen's Church, the Bells did ring A wondrous thing.  
Without the help of man.   

Now what events these progidies have wrought,  
(And what effects have since to pass been brought,)  
England (and all the Christian world) hath had,  
Sufficient notes and motives to be sad.   

Intestine war, contagious pestilence,  
And other miseries deduced from thence;  
As pinching Famine (which hath caused) of late,  
A desolation of that fertile State.   

Such wondrous signs, & tokens Heaven sent,  
That fair jerusalem might in time repent:  
Prodigious sights, and fearful blazing stars,  
As learned josephus speaks ●●'s jewish wars.   

But all these tokens served to no end,  
For the rebellious jews did still offend;  
And slighted these Celestial warnings still:  
The Viols of God's wrath their sins did fill.
