                        (  11  ) With the stern of Bethlehem shall rife in the south, An horse and Authelop, boldly shall abide, A bear and a brock, with berns so bright. A proud prince in preis lordly shall light. With bold barrens in bushment to battle shall wend. Then fhall the prophecie prove that Thomas of tells. Many comely knight is cast under foot. That shall make Maiden’s mourn that in bowre dwells, The dreadful day of destiny shall drive to the night; Shall make maidens and wives in mourning be brought. Then they meet in the morning with the moon light: Betwixt Seton and the sea, sorrow shall be wrought, There the lion shall he hurt and not perceived. Then shall be braid to the best that him the hurt wrought, And many stern in that stound shall fold to the free, 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 Tryth shall cast him the keys, The bushment of Beverlaw therewith shall break.

Then war men and woods away went. And ever seed in his season laindly is set, And right well ruled, and falsehood is fled ! Then (hall be plenty of peace when laws have no let. The spouse of God shall sing with a joyful song, Thanking God thereof and the Trinity, And all grace and goodness shall grow as 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 sore dark have been. And keep their course both day and night, With more mirth than men have seen, As Berlington’s books aud Banester’s tells,
