THE PROPHECIES OF SYBILLA, &c.

They ſhall come from the broyle,
And knights keenly ſhall toyle,
For love of the ſinke foyle,
And fight upon Forth.
When the battle draws near,
In their fight ſhall appear,
A navy of men war,
Approaching at hand.
Then put their men in ordinance,
With five hundred knights of France,
And a duke them to advance,
To be in the vanguard;
And to the Anthelope ſhall liend,
And take him eaſily to friend,
Then the Libbert ſhall be teind,
And deſperate of bliſs.
Scots and French ſhall take a part,
With a proud haitrent heart;
And ſhall upon the moldiwarte,
Ere the deffevre.
His bow to him ſhall be no bield,
All his knights ſhall be kild,
Himſelf is ſlain in the field,
And vincuſt for ever.
This ſhall the wars ended be,
Then peace and policie,
Shall reign in Albanie,
Still without end.
And whoſo likes to look,
The deſcription of this book,
This writes Beid who will look,
And ſo doth make an end.
