                The Prophecies of Waldhave.              31

Leave nought upon lost, but waste hem for ever. All the strengths of the cost, and castles every one, He shall inclose them to his crown, and over them come, Burgane, Bamburgh, as he by rides : And burlings bear it. down and burn it for ever, The water shall welcome him, and the waves of the sea : While he have won in hie all that he thinks Through his truth upon Tweed, shall be'turned after, If who will count the time of the year. If even seeking the hour, and the day come, And angered for ever more, this old men devises, Needless tho’ Norham for nought that thou lookest, There is a neker in the north thy nest shall destroy : Thou shalt be wasted of thy works for thy wrong deed. There shall no war and the weir that thou wink after : A black bear, and a brock, and a bull head, A boar whelp, with a brock, and a broad head. Shall them bound in their hours & bear them down forsuth And build them up.their walls, as they best think. Red Roxburgh thy role, and reddy the bown. Thy root is now raised up, and rotten in sunder : Three ravens and a rook shall on thy rock sit. Aid rolp shall they that Rome shall it hear. From Ross to Rosdeen was that right may be, Redy the rescours, thon rests no more, For it is but reason the rights and rents be gathered, What janglest thov Jedburgh ? thou jags for nought, There shall a guilful groom dwell the within. The tower that trusts in, as the truth is. Shall be traced with a trace, trow thou none other: The new castle is keen, keeped full well. There to take ye good heed, nor come not therein; A bird with a hand bow shall the heird keep, Hie In an holine, and in an hair wood, Both his horns shall he hang, and haft him therewith, Dress thee now Dunbar, and do for that time. Thou shalt a dread for the drake, that the down would.
