				<abstract>
					<para>
    We present optical spectroscopy in the range 3300-7400A for a total of
    37 planetary nebulae in the LMC and seven in the SMC. Together with
    the object from the first paper in the series (1991ApJS...75..407M),
    we now have accurate emission-line intensities down to a few percent
    of H{beta} for 77 nebulae in the Magellanic Clouds. Agreement with
    other authors is excellent. Reddening estimates from Balmer line
    ratios have been determined, and the line intensities have been
    dereddened accordingly. Nebular [O III] electron temperature and,
    where measurable, [S II] densities, are derived. [O II] electron
    densities are recalculated using appropriate electron temperatures.
    The [S II] and [O II] electron densities correlate well, with
    n_e_([O II])>n_e_([S II]). Zanstra temperatures are in derived for 22
    objects possessing detectable stellar continua. These temperatures are
    in agreement with photoionization modeling of this sample.</para></abstract>
