OF Thomas Rymer,
Which are either not yet fulfilled, or their
signification not properly discovered.
THOMAS the Rymer, coming from the Skaitraw, near Dunbar, upon June 1210, looked round him, and said,
Thou Scotland shall lament; for thy kyth and kin will be taken from thee, and thy nobles banished to foreign lands.
On the sides of the Forth, wonders shall be seen and heard.
The brave coast of Fife shall mourn; and three Lothians shall have a deadly turn. Largie-law shall want a master; the Tod shall come and spoil Crile; St. Andrews, the ancient, shall run to ruin; and thou Cupar, by rights shall grow old and diminish.
Falkland shall loss, and her sanctuary shall not be regarded, and be of no use.
Kennoway shall be ruined with religious superstition, and her Clettyden a nest of thieves, and shall lose its inhabitants.
Dysart shall be smoke, and be underminded, and the Wymse shall decay.
