To the which he was agreable. where he so stan∣dynge, sawe fyrst a multitude of vny∣cornes, lyons, and lybardes, passyng foreby the paleys gate. And wythin a shorte space of tyme after, he sawe a great company of berys & wolues rēnyng after the other. And thyrdly & lastly he sawe a multytude of dog∣ges & other small rauenous bestes / the whyche in hys syghte fyll vppon the other .ii. companyes and vtterly deuoured them all.
when he hadde sene the fyne of his vision / not a lytell astonyed, he retur¦ned to hys wyfe / shewynge to her what he hadde sene. To whom she sayd / syr of me ye shal receyue a son / the whyche in all hys dedes shall be noble and honourable, lyke to ye vny¦cornes and lyons shewyd to you in ye fyrst vysyon. Of the whyche shall dis¦cende one other sonne, the whyche shall be rauenous and shall set hys mynde all to pyllage & rauyne, lyke vnto the rauenous wolfe and here. And after hym shall come a chylde or chyldern that shall be of suche in∣solency and wastynge, that lyke as the rauenous hounde stroyeth and wastyth all that he maye tere wyth hys teeth / so shall these persons wast and destroye by theyr folyes all that other noble men hath purchased to theyr handes. And the multytude whyche that ye sawe of other small rauenous bestes / betokeneth the co∣mon people, whyche in those dayes for lacke of a good and wyse prynce shall renne eyther vppon other and robbe and s••e eche other.
Of thys exposycyon the kyng was somdele troubled. But yet he reioy∣sed of the issue that shuld come of his body. Then it foloweth whan thys Chylderych hadde ouercomen some baytayles in Almayne, and them sub¦dued to hys empyre: he lastly dyed when he had reygned, wyth the .viii. yeres allowed to hys reygne for the tyme that he was exyled / and wyth the resydue that he reygned before & after in all .xxiiii. yeres / leuyng after hym a sonne begotten vpon the fore¦named Basina called Clodio or af∣ter moste wryters Clodoueus.
