               The Prophecies of Waldhave.                    27

There at the lion liketh ill, And raiseth his banner hie on high: Upon the moor that is so gray, Beside an headless crosse of stone : And the red lion win the name. The eagles three shall lose the gree : That they have had this many a day : The red lion shall win renown, Win all the field and bear away. One crow shall come, another shall go, And drink the gentle blood so free, When all these ferlies were away, Then saw I none, but I and he : Then to the beirn could I say. There dwells thou for in what country ? Or who will rule the isle Britain, From the north to the south sea ? The French wife shall bear the son, Shall rule all Britain to the sea : That of the Bruces blood shall come,, As near as the ninth degree. I framed fast, what was his name ? Whence that he came ? from what country 1 In Erssiagtown, I dwell at hame, Thomas Rymer men call me..
