OLD
Scottish Prophecies,
BY
THOMAS RYMER,
PART II.
When Hempe is come, and also gone,
Scotland and England shall be one.
HEMPE.
Praised be GOD alone,
For Hempe is come and gone,
And left us old Albion,
By peace join'd in one.
​The explication of the foregoing prophecy, concerning Hempe being come, and also gone, and leaving Scotland and England joined in one, is fulfilled in the late King William, who came out of Holland, which in old times was vulgarly called the land of Hempe: and the joining of the two nations together, signifies the Union.
These things were foretold by the two Scots Prophets, in the reign of King Arthur. First, by the marvellous Merling, who is said to be got by a Devil, who ravished a young Woman, his mother, in a wood near Coldstream, in the South of Scotland. Afterwards, to the same purpose, these and many more strange things were foretold by Thomas Lermon, vulgarly called, Thomas Rymer, because he spoke all his prophetical sayings in rhyme, and so darkly, that they could not be understood until they came to pass.
But of all the Prophets that ever were in Scotland, there never was any of them who attained to such credit, because many of his predictions referred to our own country, and were accomplished in the last and present century.

AN ACCOUNT
OF
SIR THOMAS LEARMONT.
Sir Thomas Learmont, commonly called Thomas Rhymer, was born in the east corner of Fife, of a good family. His prophecies have been more credited than any that were ever recorded in the Scots Chronicle, as they have been well attested, what of them (illegible text)past, and what they allude to, in this present century and period, and of his (illegible text)ark sayings yet to come.
He told many mystical prophecies (illegible text)nent all the kings of Europe, and what (illegible text)ell out according to his prediction, in this ancient kingdom of Scotland, what was past, present, and to come.
This account is taken from the Records of Cryle, near which place he was born and brought up.
​His father was said to be Laird of Balcomie, and the Records of that family are extant among the rolls, for the assisting at several councils for the honour of Scotland. And Sir Thomas Rhymer's prophecies and sayings are still held in esteem.
He lived in the reign of Alexander III, king of Scotland, in the year 1248 much regarded, and knighted by the king that same year.
The first of his prophecies ever taken to be faithfully observed, was, That there would be a storm on a certain day, that would surprise all Scotland. Some gentlemen being with him that day, they began to joke him, and said Sir Thomas, you are now mistaken and we shall stay and see your mistake as we have heard so much of your prophecies. He told then to stay an hour longer, and they would see and believe. In an hoar an express came to Sir Thomas, from Edinburgh, of the death of Margaret, queen of Alexander III. On receiving the news, Sir Thomas said, that this was the storm, and i would give rise to greater commotions in Scotland.
​After the death of Queen Margaret, the King married Isabel, daughter of the Earl of Druix; and Sir Thomas told within a few months of an earthquake at Kinghorn, that would make Scotland tremble. An express accordingly came to Clyde to Sir Thomas, that the king had fell from his horse at Kinghorn, and broke his neck. Alexander left no heir, except a grandchild, Margaret, daughter of the King of Norway. She, also, soon died. A short time before her death, she was betrothed to Edward, King of England. After this, there were great commotions anent the succession of the crown of Scotland, which occasioned great bloodshed, particularly betwixt Bruce and Baliol, which are recorded in the Scottish history.
The pride of Spain, and the deceitful conduct of the French, as also concerning the Dutch, was foresold. Likewise the battle of Torwood, Bothwel Bridge, Killicrankie, Sheriff-muir, Preston, Falkirk, and Culloden.
In forty-five, eighty-two, and three, Sir Thomas' works do certify.

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.
​Though unto thraldom you should be Brought by your enemies, You shall have freedom from them all, And enjoy your liberties.
The grave of the most noble prince, To all is great regret, The subject to law, who had leave, The kingdom and estate.
O anguish great! where every kind, And ages shall lament, Whom bitter death has ta'en away, Shall Scotland sore repent.
Lately, a land of rich encrease, A nation stout and true, Has lost their former dear estate, Which they did hold of due.
By hard conflict, and by the chance Of noble fortune's force, Thy hope and thy prosperity, Nay turn to the worse.
Though wont to wen, may be subdu'd, And come in under yoke, Strangers may reign and destroy, What likes him by sword's stroke.
​A foreign foe, whom neither the force, Nor manners do approve, Woe is to thee by guilt and flight, Will only win above.
This mighty nation was to fore, Invincible and stout, Will yield slowly to destiny, Great pity is but a doubt.
In a former age, the Scots renown Did flourish goodly gaye, But now, alas! will be o'ercome, With a great dark decay.
Then mark and see what is the cause, Of this so wond'rous fall! Contempt of faith; falsehood, deceit, The wrath of God withal.
Unsatiable greed of worldy gain, Oppression, cries of poor, A perpetual, slanderous race, No justice put in ure.
The haughty pride of mighty men, Of former vice chief cause, The nutriture of wickedness, An unjust match of laws:
​Therefore, this cause the prophets Of long time did presage, And now has happen'd every point, Into your present age.
Since fate is so, now Scotland learn In patience to abide, Slanderers, fear, and sudden plagues, And great dolors beside.
Out of thee shall people rise, With divers happiness, And yet a pen can scarcely write Thy hurt, skaith, and distress.
And yet beware thou not distrust, Although o'erwhelm'd with grief, Thy stroke is not perpetual, For thou shalt find relief.
I do suppose, although too late, Old prophecies shall hold; Hope in God's goodness evermore, And mercies manifold.
For thou that now a patient is, And seemeth to be bound, At liberty shall free be set, And with empire be crowned.
​From high above shall grace come down, And thy state, Scotland, be, In latter ends, more prosperous, No former age did see.
Old prophecies foretel to thee A warlike heir—he's born— Who shall recover new your right, Advance this kingdom's horn.
Then shall fair Scotland be advanc'd Above her enemies power, Her cruel foes shall be dispersed, And scatter'd from her bow'r.
Fair Scotia's en'mies may invade, But not escape a plague; With sword, & thirst, & tears, & pest, With fears, and such like ague.
And after enemies are down, And master'd in a war, Then Scotland, in peace and quietness, Will pass joyful days for ever.

A
SHORT ACCOUNT
OF
Sir THOMAS LEARMANT,
ALLIAS RYMER.
SIR Thomas Learmant commonly called, Thomas Rymer, was born in the east corner of Fife, of a good family. His Prophesies have been more credited than any that were ever recorded in the Scots Chronicle, as they have been well attested, what of them is past, and what they allude to, in this present century and period, and of his dark sayings yet to come.
He told many mystical prophesies anent all the kings of Europe, and what fell out according to his prediction, in this ancient kingdom of Scotland; what is past, present and to come.
This brief account is taken from the Records of Cryle, near which place he was born and brought up.
​His father was said to be Laird of Balcomie; and the Records of that family is extant in the Rolls, for their assisting at several Councils for the honour of Scotland. And Sir Thomas Rymer's Prophesies and sayings are still held in esteem.
He lived in the reign of Alexander III. King of Scotland, in the year One thousand, two hundred and forty-eight, much regarded, and knighted by that king that same year.
The first of his prophesies ever taken to be faithfully observed, was, That there should be a storm on a certain day, that would surprise all Scotland. Now, some gentlemen being with him that day, they began to joke him, and said, Sir Thomas, you are now mistaken, and we shall stay and see your mistake, as we have heard so much of your prophesies. He told them to stay an hour longer, and they would see and believe. And in less time than the hour, an express arrived to Sir Thomas from Edinburgh, of the death of Margaret, Queen to Alexander III. who died that day. Upon receiving the news, Sir Thomas told them that this was the storm, and it would give rise to greater commotions in Scotland.
After the death of Queen Margaret, the king married Isobel, daughter to the Earl of Driux; and Sir Thomas told with​in a few months of an earthquake at Kinghorn, that would make Scotland tremble. An express accordingly came to Cryle to Sir Thomas, that the King had fallen from his horse at Kinghorn and broke his neck, which happened accordingly. After the death of Alexander, he left no heirs, except a grandchild, Margaret, daughter to the King of Norway, who also soon died; but a short time before her death, she was betrothed to Edward, King of England. After this there was great commotions anent the succession to the crown of Scotland, which occasioned great bloodshed, particularly betwixt Bruce and Baliol, which you have recorded in the Scottish Histories.
The pride of Spain, and the deceitful conduct of the French, as also concerning the Dutch, is all foretold:—Likewise the Scots battles, at Torwood, Bothwelbridge, Malplackie, Killakrankie, Shirreff-muir, Proud Preston, near Gladsmuir, Falkirk, Culloden, and the Camps in Moraythire, and on the Windmill-brae at Aberdeen, by General Coup, and at Dunbar,
In Forty-five, eighty-two and three,
Sir Thomas Works doth certifie.

THE
PROPHECIES
OF
Thomas Rymer.
As to his prophetical sayings, they are hard to be understood, because they are pointed out by the Coat of the Arms, which appertain to so many different kingdoms and persons. Yet we may observe how he has pointed out plainly, many things which has come to pass in our days such as the extirpation of the noble race of the Stewarts, the revolution, Sheriffmuir: Where he says,
That Three Ships and a Shield,
That day shall keep the Field; And be the Antelope's beild.
These three ships and a shield, are in the Duke of Argyle's arms.
And even every particular of the rebellion in 1745 and 46. When pointing at it, he says,
A Chieftain unchosen, Sall choose forth-himself,
And rule the realm as his own.
​When speaking of King Charles, he calls him, "A sly fox-bird, who would turn to Christ with the wyles of tods and foxes." Meaning his swearing of the covenants.
When speaking of the Battle of Prestonpans, in the year 1745, he names the very two neighbouring villages to the spot of ground whereon it was fought, viz. Goyseford-green and Seton, saying, "Between Seton and the sea, sorrow should be wrought by the light of the moon."—Which act really came to pass that morning the battle of Preston-pans was fought. But how the Lion was hurt at this time, and not perceived, is yet a mystery. Some are of opinion, that it was by taking away the power or superiority from the chiefs of the Highland Clans, so that they cannot raise men in such a short time as formerly.
These are a few of the observations we make on things already come to pass, and as to what is yet to come, there is some remark will yet happen, when the time draws nigh: Such as, "When Tarbet's Craigs are tumbled into the sea. And the next season or summer thereafter, great sorrow and bloodshed happen to this realm, the chief thereof, especially such as harling on sleds, and choping off heads." This Tarbet stands near ​the root of the river Clyde; but whether its being tumbled into the sea, shall happen by an earthquake, thunder, or by the hands of men, is a mystery unknown.
There is also mention made of a Lord with a lucken or double hand; which certainly is of royal blood, and will breed great stir and confusion in Britain. This man is alive in this very present age, and of the Stewarts race, now in Italy. There is plainly pointed out, that in his time, a great battle should be seen in Fife,
Where saddled horses should be seen,
Tyed unto the trees green.
Not only in Fife, but the four chief rivers of the realm, there should be a battle on each of them, that should make the rivers run with blood, viz. Tweed, Clyde, Forth and Tay.
Last of all, a bloody desperate battle in Northumberland on the river Tyne.—Also great havock and slaughter about the broad walls of Berwick. All these things are yet to come to pass: and when the first appears, the rest will icon follow after.

CRADLE SONG
Little laughing, crowing sprite,
Mother's ever-new delight!
How I love thee can I show
By word or action? No, no, no!
Smile, my darling, smile again!
Far from thee be care and pain!
All the joys of life be thine,
Boundless love and pride be mine!
Gladdest of all living things,
Happier than queens or kings!
In thy little cot upcurled,
Sweetest creature in the world!
Wealth or glory for a night
Or a day may give delight,
Day and night and night and day
Lasts a mother's joy alway.

DECEMBER 31, 1900
The century that began with blood and tears, 'Mid blood and tears and vague unrest goes out Is it towards the rocks the good ship steers? Men ask each other with a troubled doubt. Is Britain's star declining in the sky. By younger rivals driven from her sphere? Are we among the nations doomed to die? Must we the fate of Rome and Venice fear?
Let the new century answer; and meanwhile Let us resolve that, be it as it may, Ere foemen can shout Victory! o'er our isle, They too shall fall death-stricken in the fray: If Britain falls she falleth Samson-like, And ere she fall a mortal blow shall strike.

DIRGE
Hark! from the organ's mighty throat
Issues a sad and wailing note,
Tender, appealing and intense,
Breathing a sorrow so immense,
Such hopeless woe, such wild regret
As none who hear it may forget:
With accents mournful, solemn, slow,
How doth it speak our utter woe!
Joy visits us and hastes away,
Grief only by oar side doth stay:
No joy that all may share is known,
We may unite in grief alone:
Through laughter's loudest outburst clear
The wail of anguish you may hear;
Youth oft enough to sorrow bows,
To age no respite it allows.
We grieve for vanished joys of yore.
We grieve for friends that are no more.
We grieve for husbands, children, wives,
Whose loss leaves bare and bleak oar lives:
We grieve for health and vigour lost,
We grieve for age's torpid frost;
But most, when dead are minds and hearts.
We grieve that power to grieve departs.

Royall v. State
This case cannot be distinguished in principle from that of Royall v. Virginia, 116 U.S. 572, 6 Sup. Ct. Rep. 510. The demurrer to the plea is an admission of record that the coupon tendered in payment of the license tax was genuine, 'and bore on its face the contract of the state of Virginia that it should be received in payment of all taxes, debts, and demands due said state.' This shows a good tender, which brings this case within the ruling by this court in the other.
The judgment of the supreme court of appeals of the state of Virginia is reversed on the authority of Royall v. Virginia, supra, and the cause remanded for further proceedings not inconsistent with this opinion and the judgment in that case.
