Praised be God alone, for Hempe is come and gone; And left us old Albion, by peace joined in one.

Tempora paset oculata veritas.

In time appeareth hidden truth.

MERLING says in his:book, who will read it right. Although his layings be uncouth, they shall be In the seventh chapter, read whoso will, (true found, One thousand and more after Christ’s birth ; When the Chalnalider of Cornwall is called. And the wolf out of Wales is vanquifhed for ay. Then many ferlies shall fall, and many folk shall die. Many selcouth shall be seen in all Christian lands In the moon and the sea, and signs in the sun And in all planets plainly that appears to the sky ; Then shall the lion be beast in the broad north. And a felon flaw shall fall soon after. Both the moon and the mernes great dool lhall make, And all Mar lhall mourn many days after. The great bear with his tusks the field shall lose, A fell fhewer of the south shall sad him for ever. And that leid shall his life lose in another land

Then shall a freik be fostered far in the south And to the Kyth shall he go that he came from, With much wealth and worship shall he go home, And inhabit Albany unto the end.
