Rh And the proudeſt in the preis to bail ſhall be brought.

The fey fox and the fulmart in arms are taken,

And led to the lion law to abide;

The pyper and the pye ſhall ſuffer in the ſame;

All the friends of the fox ſhall be fey made;

Then ſhall troy untrue tremble for dread,

For dreador of the deadman when they hear him ſpeak,

All the commons of Kyth ſhall craft him the keys,

The buſhment of Beverlaw therewith ſhall break.

Then war men and woods away went.

And every ſeed in his ſeaſon laindly is ſet,

And right well ruled, and falſehood is fled!

Then ſhall be plenty of peace when laws have no let,

The ſpouſe of God ſhall ſing with a joyful ſong,

Thanking the God thereof and the Trinity,

And all grace and goodneſs shall grow us among:

And every fruit ſhall have plenty by land and by ſea:

Then the ſun and the moon ſhall ſhine bright,

That many days a fore dark have been;

And keep their courſe both day and night,

With more mirth than men have ſeen,

As Berlington's books and Baneſter's tells.

Merling, and many more that with marvels melts,

And also Thomas Rymer in his tales tells.

They ſay the ſaxons ſhall chooſe them a lord,

That ſhall make them greatly to fall under:

The dead man ſhall riſe, and them accord,

And this is much wonder and flight,

That he that was dead, and buried in fight,

Shall riſe again and live in the land.

In comfort of a young knight,

That fortune hath choſen to be her husband,

The wheel ſhall turn to him full right,

That fortune hath choſen to be her ſire,

In Surey ſhall he throw a fight.

In Babylon bring many a bern or brier,

Fifteen miles from Jeruſalem the holy croſs win ſhall he;

The ſame lord that wears the lyon,

As Standfoord won the gree,

Fortune hath granted him the victory,

Since firſt that he arms bear:

For without treaſon or treatorie,

Deſtiny ſhall not him deir,

While of age till him drive,
