The sayr trawaill, the ernystfull besynes,

The feill labour had in mony place,

To wyn the land at the gud king him gaiff,

In till his ryng he wald no Sotheroun saiff.

In Gyan land Wallace was still at wer;5

Off Scotlandis loss it did his hart gret der;

Off trew Scottis in mynd he had peté,

He thocht to help quhen he his tym mycht se.

Off set battaillis fyve he dyscumfyt haill,

But jeperté and mony strang assaill.10
