A Iiause of glass shall come to

In England, but alas:
War will follow with the work
In tee land of the Pagan and Ttuk
And ,State and State in fierce
strife
'Will seek each othe'r's life.
But whey the North shall divide
the South
An Eagle shall build in the Lien's
mouth;
Carriages without horses shall go,
And aacddenle fill the world with
woo;
Prinucse Hill in London shall be
And in its entre a Bishop's See;
Around the world thoughts shall
fly
lis the twinkling of an eye;
Wartier shall yet wonders do,
Now strange, shall yet be true;
The world upside down aha11 be,
And gold found at the root of a
tree;
Through hills gran eihall ride,
And no house or ass be by his side;
Tender' the water ,shall mein walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk.
In the air men shall be seen,
Lu white, in black, in green;
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as wooden. boat;
Gold shall be found, and found
In a land that's, not yet known.
Fire and water shall more won -

E•ngian,d shall re last admit a Jew,
The Jeno that was held in scorn
Shall 08 a Ohristian be born;
Three times three will lovely

Be: led to dance a bloody dunce; I
Before her peoples shall be free
Three tyrant rulers shall she see;
Three times the people rule alone.
Three .tines the people's bops is

Three rulenso in succession see,
Each springing from a different
