A MONDAY CHRISTMAS.—The Worcester Herat"
gives the following from the Harleian MSS., 4'4°'
2,252, folio 153-4 :

"If Christmas-day on Monday be,
A great winter that year you'll see,
Aud full of winds both loud and shrill ;
But in summer, truth to tell,
High winds shall there be, and strong,
Full of tempests lasting long;
While batiles they shall multiply,
And great plenty of beasts shall die.
They that he born that day, 1 weep,
They shall be strong each one and keen ;
He shall be found that stealeth aught;
Tho' thou be sick, thou diest not."
Here, it is said, are three prophecies—the lie
which lasted from January to well on in Mays'
war which ended at Sadowa, and the rinderpesb
all fulfilled this ye'ar after a Monday Christi:a%
