Rh That the crow may not find where the croſs ſtood:

Many a wife shall weep, and ye shall under:

The dead shall riſe, and that shall be wonder,

And rax him rudly in his shire shield,

For the great comfort of a new king.

Now hie Powoke, with thy proud showes,

Take thy part of the pelf when the pack opens:

It shall be Gladſmoor by the ſea,

It shall be Gladſmoor where ever it be:

And the little town that shall be,

Is betwixt the Lowmand and the ſea:

And well is the man in in all his life,

That hath a Cot-house in Fife;

And yet once shall curse the day,

He would the Cot-house were away.

And there shall come a hound out of the ſouth.

With him a rayment of ratches ruled right;

And actor for the keinly shall be come,

And in Fife shall fight, and the field win:

Yet shall a northern flaw fail him for ever,

And kill him to confusion, and return never.

An eagle then shall come out of the north,

With a flock of birds fair at the flight:

Which shall make many foot founder and fall.

Then shall a ghoſt come out of the weſt,

With him a fair Menye:

Upon the eagle make him bowne.

But he ſo nigh then shall he flee.

I cannot tell you what he height:

A baſtard trow I boaſt he be.

His name shall not be expremed as now,

For he was gotten with a lady in privity,

His doughty deed without all doubt,

Shall comfort all his company.

However it happened for to fall,

The lion shall be lord of all.

The French wife shall bear a ſon,

Shall weild all Britain to the ſea:

And from the Bences blood shall come,

As near as the ninth degree.

Marvellous Merling that many men of tells,

And Thomas ſayings comes all at once:

Though their ſayings be ſelcouth they shall be ſooth ſound

And there shall our glading be; B 2
