It seems difficult for any one, at the present day, to be fully aware 
 of that degree of fond credulity with which, at a period even within 
 the last century, certain political prophecies were regarded and 
 cherished by the partisans of opposite factions in this country, which 
 the least instructed peasants of a later age would probably treat 
 with contempt and derision. The name of Thomas of Ercildoune, 
 or The Rhymer, was then familiar to his countrymen only as that 
 of a gifted seer, to whom the remote destinies of the Scottish 
 Monarchy had been disclosed, and in whose supposititious vatici- 
 nations their feverish hopes or fears found encouragement or relief. 
 No doubt can be entertained that the obscure and almost unintel- 
 ligible rhymes which then passed current under his name, and 
 under the names of Merlin, Bede, Berlington, and various other 
 soothsayers, must have been fabricated at a period comparatively 
 recent. To the late Lord Hailes we are indebted for the first, and 
 still the only attempt to subject them to the ordeal of historical 
 criticism; and his ingenious and successful exposure of a small 
 
VI 
 
 portion of these impostures, may be safely enough regarded as 
 superseding all farther discussion on their claims to popular belief. 
 
 " Perhaps it may be thought," says Lord Hailes, " that I have 
 bestowed unnecessary pains in discrediting the popular predictions 
 ascribed to Thomas the Rhymer. Let it, however, be considered 
 that the name of Thomas the Rhymer is not forgotten in Scotland, 
 nor his authority altogether slighted even at this day. Within the 
 memory of man, his prophecies, and the prophecies of other Scottish 
 soothsayers, have not only been reprinted, but have been consulted 
 with a weak, if not criminal curiosity. I mention not particulars ; 
 for I hold it ungenerous to reproach men with weaknesses of which 
 they themselves are ashamed. The same superstitious credulity 
 might again spring up. I flatter myself that my attempt to eradicate 
 it will not prove altogether vain. Be this as it will, in endea- 
 vouring to expose forgeries, I endeavour to maintain the cause of 
 truth." l 
 
 The edition of the Scottish and other Prophecies on which Lord 
 
 Hailes deigned to bestow his ingenious and elaborate criticism, 
 
 was that printed at Edinburgh by Andro Hart, in the year 16 15. 
 
 This, which is a volume of extremely rare occurrence, was then,

 among intelligent bibliographers, believed to have been the earliest 
 publication of the work ; but it is now ascertained that it had 
 been " printed by Robert Waldegrave, printer to the King's most 
 excellent Majesty, anno 1603 ; " and a copy of this, probably the 
 first edition, having been lately brought into notice at the sale of 
 an old family library, it has been deemed a literary curiosity 
 deserving of preservation in an exact reprint. In orthography, 
 and some other minute particulars, it differs from the later edition 
 of 1615 ; and of these variations, a list will be found at the end of 
 the volume. 1 No less than twelve later editions, printed between 
 the years 1680 and 1746, have been inspected, and appear to be 
 merely servile and not very accurate copies, of no intrinsic value, 
 and undeserving of minute collation. 8 
 
 As specimens of literary composition, the contents of this volume 
 have but slender claims to regard ; but to those who are curious 
 in tracing the under-currents of political faction in the sixteenth 
 
 1 Another copy of this Edition of 1603 occurred at the sale of the late Mr 
 Nassau's Library, and was purchased, it is understood, for the Collection of Richard 
 Heber, Esq. 
 
 2 The copy of the Edition 1615, employed for this collation, is that preserved in 
 the rich and curious Library at Abbotsford. In Bagford's MS. Collections regarding 
 Printing, there is a notice of an edition of the Prophecies, " Printed at Edinburgh 
 by the heires of Andrew Hart, 1625."

 track of our greatest modern annalist in detecting the sources of 
 antiquated delusion, the genuine text now presented to them can- 
 not fail to be acceptable.

COLLATION 
 
 OF WALDEGRAVE'S EDITION OF THE PROPHECIES, 
 
 M.DC.III. 
 
 WITH THAT PRINTED BY ANDRO HART, 
 
 M.DC.XV. 
 
[ 55 ] 
 
 All the editions of the Prophecies, subsequent to that of Hart 
 in 16 15, appear to be mere reprints of each other, often with great 
 inaccuracy, and consequently of no authority and of little value. 
 The variations between Waldegrave's and Hart's editions, although 
 numerous, consist chiefly of verbal corrections, or variations of 
 spelling, which it would be unnecessary to specify in detail. But 
 every variation of any importance is here pointed out ; and a 
 facsimile reprint of the title-sheet of Hart's publication is added, 
 as, besides the dedication to King James, it will be found to con- 
 tain a translation of the Latin verses inserted at page 40 of Walde- 
 grave's edition. 
 
 In the present volume, the following typographical errors have 
 been corrected ; but, in other respects, it may be considered a 
 literal reprint. Page 5, line 15, Not the Son — Nor the Son ; 
 line 24, Jhal and fair e—Jhall fair e and. P. 13, line 27, wal — 
 will. P. 16, line 10, rayment — ragment ; line 26, deede is — 
 deedes. P. 24, line 31, Jhirle—flirile. P. 25, line 27, home — 
 hame. P. 26, line 1, London — Loudon. P. 27, line 14, Would 
 haue — Waldhaue. P. 32, line 7> ond — and. P. 35, line 4, 
 reatous — riatous. P. 40, line 22, liber at — libera. P. 41, line 
 
 14, clam— clamor ; line 17, come — comes ; line 31, eua tua. 
 
 P. 43, line 3, in is — is in.

 L 2 Alace the free bond is become, and deceit is thy fall, 
 
 The fal/Jiood of the brutiJJi race, hes broght thee into thrall. 
 
 3 The graue of the mojl noble Prince, to all is great regrate, 
 Noghtfubiecl: to law, who doth leaue, the kingdom Sf ejlate 
 
 4 angui/Ji great, where euery kind and age doeth lament, 
 Whom bitter death hes tane away,J)iall Scotland fore repent 
 
 5 Latelie a land of rich increafe, a Nation flout and true, 
 Hes tint their former dear ejlate, which thei) did hold of due. 
 
 6 By hard con/licl, and by the chance, of mobile fortuns force, 
 Thy hap and thy profperitie, is turned into worfe. 
 
 7 Thou wont to win, now isfubdewd, and come in vnder yoke 
 AJlrdger reigns 8f doth dejlroy, what likes withfwordsjlrok

 Wo is to thee, by guile and flight, is onelie win aboue. 
 
 9 The mightie Nation was to fore, invincible and flout, 
 Hes yeelded low to dejlinie, great pitie is but doubt. 
 
 10 Informer age the Scots renown didfiourijli goodlie gay : 
 But now alace is ouercled with a great darke decay. 
 
 11 Then mark and fee what is the caufe, of this fo wondrous fall 
 ' Contempt of faith, faljfiood deceit, the icrath of God withal 
 
 12 Vnfaciable greed of worlds gaine oppression cryes ofpoore, 
 Perpetuall aflanderous race, no iujiice put in vre. 
 
 13 Tlie hautie pride of mighty men of former vice chiefs caufe 
 The nurriture of wickednejje, an vniuft match ofLawes. 
 
 14 Therefore this cafe ye Prophets old of long time did prefage 
 As now hes hapned euery point into this prefent age.

 Non eft perpetua plaga fiitura tua.

 In bonitate Dei, fit tibi cura fpei.
