Rh But the happier half ſhall the cock have;

For he is higher of head and hurts the leſs,

These falſe Lurdans lives laſts but a while.

Till 3 libberts in a ling from London ſhall come,

And lean toward Lothian in Linlithgow ſhire,

Toward Glaſgow they go, graithly thereafter;

Attour the hills where the way lies,

And on Govan moor graiths them to ſleep:

Then a lion as lord ſhall leap them among,

And learn them a leſſon though they loth think,

Fell falconds in field ſhall their fey worth,

And their formales ſo far ſteemed for ever:

Then Purvey the pawock with thy proud thaws,

Thou ſhalt have part of the pelf, when the rack opens.

Then a chieftain uncloſen, ſhall chose forth himſelf,

And ride through the realm, and Roy ſhall be called;

Then ſhall wales worthily dwell upon loft,

And chooſe them a chief lord of royalty holden,

Scot heirs of Scotland ſhall ſcale them full wide.

In humber ſhall brulye, their right for to have,

Heaven, and even heirs of the land,

Shall rent them, and riſe, and reel in their way,

And may all the Noraways that has them wrong wrought,

When dead shall riſe, and marvels ſhow,

Look him flat in face, and none ſhall him know;

Then the lillie ſo liele with notable bairns,

Send bodwart in Britain to the bairn bold,

Bids him blythly abide in battle join'd.

Then a lion ſhall leap looſe out of hands;

The ſixth out of Ireland, nobleſt of deeds;

But when he is looſe, then reſt is there none,

When the lyce is up, and and the ſink under,

Then ſhall the dead ariſe, and work great wonder.

Among kind men in Kyth kindle ſhall a care,

There ſhall a counſel fit 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 hide, with bairns anew,

Enter up at a ſide, where the ſea fills, C 3
