Merlyn is said to have pronounced the following prophecy, standing near St German's Grotto on the shores of Whitsand Bay:--
"When the Rame Head and Dodman meet,
Man and woman will have cause to greet."
Man and woman will have cause to greet."
Hunt 1903
[Outside of this book St. German's Grotto at Whitsands Bay is unknown to the internet - very mysterious! This prophesy (presented more simply as a proverb) was also recorded by Ray in 1768.]
