When feythe fayleth in prestys sawys,
And lordys wyll be londys lawys,
And lechery is prevy solas,
And robbery ys goode purchas:
Than shall the londe of Albeon
Be turned into confusion.
When Goneway shall on Curtays call,
Then Wallys shall rayke and hastely ryse;
Then Albeon Skottlonde shall to hem fall;
Then waken wonders in every wyse.
The rede Irlonde fox shall ryse with all
With glayvys grownde, and gare men to agryse 1
To fell and fende oure fomen all;
Sevyn shall sytt in youre asyse.
