The Testament of Eadgyth of York:
(Lines revealed in AD 1070) In the last days To the tail of the peacock He will come: The spider's spawn, the Christ-bearer The Dove. And the Dove will fly east, Wings strong, heart stout, mind clear. God's Engines will burn our ocean And flame across the lands of spices. All this I have witnessed I and my mothers. Send the Dove west! O, send him west!
(Lines revealed in AD 1481)
The Dragon stirs from his eastern throne, Walks west. The Feathered Serpent, plague-hardened, Flies over ocean sea, Flies east. Serpent and Dragon, the mortal duel And Serpent feasts on holy flesh. All this I have witnessed I and my mothers. Send the Dove west! O, send him west!
