l8 Prophecies of Berlington.
Shall never doun on thy skin, nor birs be the lest: Thunder ftiall work thine hold to the cold earth. Shall never stone upon stone or ground be the left, And so this wretched boast is destroyed for ever.
When faith failes in prelates lawes, And temporal lords will hold new lawes. And leachcry holden for privy solace. And reef holden for purchase When Rome is divided in two parts. And every priest: hath the Pope’s power : Then /hall the dane of Albany Be put to great perplexity, Man, sin forthink aud miss amend, Dread God, do law, think on the end.
Betwixt Templeton and the flats, Thou shall see a right fair fight. Of barges and billingers and many broad fail. With 3 libbertes and the flower deluce high upon height; And so the dreadful dragon shall rise from his den, And from the deep doughty shall draw to the height.
Off Bruces left side shall spring out a lease, As near as to the ninth degree, And shall be esteemed of fair Scotland, In France for beyond the sea : And then shall come again ridding. With eyes that many men may fee ;
At Aberlady he shall light. With hempen helters and horse of tree. On Gosfoord green it /hall be seen. On Gladsmoore shall the battle be. Now Albany thou make the bown. At hidding be thou prompt. He shall deal both tower and town. His gifts shall stand for evermore, Then boldly bownd the thereafter, 'Upon a broad moore a battle shall be, Aside a stub crosse of stone.
