          The Prophecies of GILD. 41.

But him and his misknow that ever they ever knew, Then shall many ferly fall right soon after, And from Caithness to Dover shall walk but war, And mourn for his misfortune, that failed so soon. But better mourn for themselves, for need they have. Hails when upon haltest herple not but hold thee. If thou speakest where thou spoke, it shall able skald thee The barred lyon lawlesse at thee shall be grieved, Shall search and seek thee to destroy thee for ever ; Yet shall a beirne from Berwick bulk him and bown, And search the treading of trwes that were afore tane. By the headlesse people, that held at their own hand, The holes whole, and the heards had destroy Reason shall be fought, and granted shall be none: The movers thereof shall mene and may not mind. Then shall the counsel which cumbered hath the kith, Call for comfort, but long they may crave : The marked to the highest, and to overhaile the old : But all in vain they work, they shall not prevail; They shall work unwife, and wit shall hey lack. Then waried their weird, that ever they were wrought, Then shall the ratches in this region take, And run their race rudely but any return, The best of the Kyth shall cray for support: But fearce shall they rise, they shall be se fweir: The hound which was harmeds then missed shall be. Who loved him worst, (sall weep for his wrack. Yet shall a whelp rise out of the same race That rudely shall rair, and rule the whole north, And quite the whole quarrel of old deeds done, Though he from his hold be kept back a while. The cock dare not crow, though it be his kind, But keep himself close, while come, shall his time. Prepare thee Edenburgh, and pack up thy packs ; Thou shalt be left void, be thou lief o cloath ; Because thou are varient, anp steemed thy faith, Thro’ envy and covetousness that numbered thee ever.
