Fyscheis in flude refeckit rialye

Till mannys fude, the warld suld occupye.10

Bot Scotland sa was waistit mony day,

Throw wer sic skaith, at labour was away.

Wictaill worth scant or August coud apper,

Throu all the land, that fude was hapnyt der:

Bot Inglissmen, that richess wantyt nayne,15

Be caryage brocht thair wictaill full gud wayne;

Stuffit houssis with wyn and gud wernage;

Demaynde this land as thair awne heretage;
