A house of glass shall come to pass,
In England, but alas!

In the land of the Pagan and Turk;
And state and state in fierce strife
Will seek each other's life. ;
But when the North shall divide the South
An Eagle shall build in the Lion Mouth,.
And accidents fill the world with woe,
Primrose Hill in London shall be,
And in its center a Bishop's See;
Around the world thoughts shall fly .?
In the twinkling of an eye,
Water shall yet wonders do, . -r-.
Now, strange, shall yet be. true; ,,'
The world upside down shall be,
And gold found at the root of a tree;
.Through hills man shall ride, . v.
And no horse or ass be by his sjde; . .
i . Under water men shall walk,
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk;
in the air men shall be seen,
, In white, in black, in green; , '
Iron in water shall float, ; '
, As easy as a wooden boat.
, , Goid shall be found and found .
In a land that's not now known. .

Each springing from a different dynasty
Then shall the worser fight be done, .
