                   The Prophecies of Birlington               19

Which on the moor stands hie, It shall be clearly cled over with crops of Knights That the crow may not find where the crosse stood Many a wife shall weep and fye shall under. The dead shall rise, and that shall be wonder, And rax him rudly in his shire field, For the great comfort of a king. Now high Powoke, with the proud showes, Take thy part of the Pelf when the Pack opens: It shall not be Gladsmoore by the sea. It shall be Gladsmoore wherever it be, And the little Lowne that shall be, Is betwixt the Lowmond and the sea, And well is the man in all his life, That hath a Cot-house in Fife, And yet once shall come the-day, He would the Cot-house were away.

And there shall come a hound out of the south, With him a rayment of ratcaes ruled right ; And actor for the keinly shall he come, And in Fife shall fight and the field win: Yet shall a northern flaw fail him for ever, l And kill him to confusion, and return never, R 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. Put he so nye 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. of or he was gotten with a lady in privity. His doughty deed without all doubt, Shall comfort all his company.

How ever it happened for to fall, The lyon shall be lord of all.
