Diese “Prophecie of Fishes’ nimmt deutlich von einer Stelle des 
Pseudo-Bridlington ihren Ausgang, worin die einfallenden Schotten 
mit einem Gewimmel von Meertieren dargestellt werden: 
Barrida nam bella cancer parat ipse novella. 
Pro canero venient delphines, grandia cete, 
Consortesque fient focae mercede dietae, 
Turdi, salmones, mori, milli, capitones usw.
