Their Lord they will praise,
Their speech they will keep,
Their land they will lose,
Except wild Walia.
Till some change shall come,
After long penance,
When equally rife
The two crimes come.
Britons then shall have
Their land and their crown,
And the stranger swarm
Shall disappear.
All the angel’s words,
As to peace and war,
Will be fulfilled
To Britain’s race.”
He further told the king various prophecies of things that should be in the world, in songs, as follows.
