 20     The Prophecies of Berlington.

The French wife shall bear a son, Shall wield all Britain to the sea : And from the Braces, blood lhall come, As near as the ninth degree. Marvellous Merling that many men of tells. And Thomas sayings comes all at once: Though their saying be felcouth they shall be sooth sound And there shall all our glading be, The crow shall fit upon a stone. And drink the gentle blood so free: Take off the ribs, and bears to her birds , As God hath said so must it be. Then shall ladies lads wed, And brook castles and towers hie. Beid hath berieved in his book and Banster also, Marvellous Merling, and all accords in one : Thomas the true, that never spake false, Consents to their saying, and the same terms has taken. Yet shall there come a keen knight over the salt sea. A keen man of courage, and bold man of arms. A duke’s son doubted, a born man in France, That shall our mirths, amend all our bairns After the date of our Lord 1512, and thrice 3 thereafter, Which shall brook all the broad isle to himself. Betwixt 13 and thrice 3, the threep shall be ended. The Saxons shall never recover after. He shall be crowned in the Kyth, in the castle of Dover Which wears the golden garland of Julius Cɶsar, More worship shall he win of greater worth, That ever Arthure himself had in his days. Many doughty deed: shall he do thereafter, Which shall be spoken of many days better.
