A Prophecy Found Under the Foundation of the Chappel of Wallingford House

A Prophecy found under the Foundation of the Chappel of Wallingford House, engraved on Lead, and discover'd on Saturday the 2d of June, 1694, and sent by T. Povey, Esq ; to the Lord Mayor, who Proclaim'd a Fast thereon .

When Tewksbury Mustard shall wander abroad,
And die in a Land without Magpye or Toad ,
Then the Sawce of the Veal, joining three to one Lyon ,
Shall devour a Fish, the Pad-nag of Arion:
The Lillies shall try to swim over the Ferry,
Where they shall be met with, and drowned by Cherry .
The Children of France , with Famine opprest,
Shall weep that their Mother has never a Breast .
