Afterwards, these things were foretold by Sir Thomas Learmont. He gave all his prophetical sayings in rhyme and so darkly, they could not be understood until they came to pass.
Of all the prophets that ever were in Scotland, none had attained to such credit as Sir Thomas Learmont because most of his predictions referred to our own country, and were accomplished in the last and present century.
THOMAS RHYMER'S
PROPHECIES,
IN VERSE.
Scotland, be now sad, and lament,
For honour thou hast lost;
But yet rejoice in better times,
Which will repay the cost.
