Fastand he was, and had beyn in gret dreid;
Bludyt was all his wapynnys and his weid.
Sotheroun lordys scornyt him in termys rud,535
And said; “Behald, yon Scot ettis his awn blud.”
The king thocht ill thai maid sic derisioun,
He bad haiff watter to Bruce off Huntyntoun.
Thai bad him wesche; he said, that wald he nocht:
“This blud is myn, that hurtis most my thocht.”540
Sadly the Bruce than in his mynd remordyt
Thai wordis suth that Wallace had him recordyt.
