THE PROPHECIES OF WALDHAVE.

Then ſhall the dead ariſe, and work great wonder.
Among kind men in Kyth kindle ſhall a care,
There ſhall a counſel ſit that ſhall whole banks bare.
Then Saxons are ſet with ſubtle thoughts,
And proves partly to prick with party faces,
And wales warps up with wonderful deeds;
And Ireland helps that head to his moſt height!
And all Yorkſhire ſhall help, prove when he likes,
He ſhall bind him to bide, with bairns anew,
Enter up at a ſide where the ſea fills,
In his own kine ground, where that he was born,
With dignity and dear men that him well loves,
For to conqueſt the clear crown of England's line;
But all would fail, were not force that the fool thinks,
He would be ſubtilly ſold, were not Chriſt's will,
That his dolotirous date muſt drive to an end,
And the baſtard's blood left is for ever.
Then in Britain that day ſee whoſo will,
Shall never baſtards brook a foot broad of earth,
He ſhall be hurled and harled, and baſted to death,
With a wolf out of Wales, and bring him out of days,
And conqueſt the clear crown of England's right,
He ſhall bring all England into good peace;
While a hunter ſhall riſe, and reign in the North,
Rax up his banners with riotous beirns,
For ſafety and ſupply of Brutes lands,
Much ſturt and ſtrife ſhall ſterie a while,
From the North to the South ſea, whoſe liſt:
For when the towers of Torin is tumbled in the ſand,
With hunger and hare-life, and falſehood on loft.
Within eight years after great wonder ſhall be ſeen,
By that the Libberts' race is faſtly at an end:
Then the lillie ſo leil ſhall leind in his hands,
And to the lion ſhall get lordſhips great:
For the lion ſhall arrive at Carliſle,
And leap on the land, as lord of the ground,
He ſhall liend in the land, with his leil-beirnes,
And lame Libbert; and loſe him for ever,
Shall never the Libbert leap one day after,
In bold Britain to brock, the date is near paſſed.
That King hall deal and part all the broad lands,
To Bruce's blood, and other bold knights,
That ſhall go with the way to the reigning of Chriſt,

In the Vale of Jehoſhaphat ſeen ſhall he be,
