A PREDICTION, of Merlin the famous wizard, written above one
thousand years age, and relating to America, lately found in
a library belonging to the emperor of Morocco, written in an
odd character, which being decyphered, is presented to the
reader, by [signed] Philomath.
A period hastens on the wings of time,
Pregnant with treason and infernal crime;
When fifty centuries through the world have flown,
A new aera commencing will be known.
