Facts about Mother Shipton's Prophecy

The lines known as "Mother Shipton's Prophecy" were first published in England in 1485, before the discovery of America, and, of course, before any of the discoveries 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
Fire and water shall wonders do
England shall at last admit a Jew
And this world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one
