From the English Chronicle. An ancient prophetical
inscription, lately discovered near Lynn, in Norfolk. 
Translated out of the original Norfolk Rhyme.  By Samuel
Johnson, L.L.D.
TO POSTERITY.
  Whene'er this stone, now hid beneath the lake,
  The horse shall trample, or the plough shall break;
  Then, O my Country! shalt thou groan distrest,
  Grief swell thine eye, and terror chill thy breast.
