MOTHER SHIPTON’S PROPHECY.
The following which is known as Mother Shipton’s prophecy was first published in fourteen hundred and eighty-eight (1488) and republished in sixteen hundred and forty-one (1G41). It will be noticed that the events predicted in it except that mentioned in the last two lines have already come to pass: Carriages without horses shall go, And accidents fill the world with woe. Around the world thoughts shall fly In the twinkling of an eye. Water shall more wonders do Now strange, but shall be true, The world upside down shall be , And gold be found at the root of a tree. Through hills men shall ride And no horse or ass bv his side. Under water men shall walk Shall ride, shall sleep, shall talk. In the' air men shall be seen In white and black and green. Iron in the water shall float v As easy as a wooden boat. Gold shall be found, and found In a land that’s not now known. Fire and water shall wonders do England shall at last admit a Jew; And the world unto an end shall come In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
