Feyll Sotheroun said, at Wallace feld na sayr.

Gud deuocioun sa was his begynnyng,

Conteynd tharwith, and fair was his endyng;

Quhill spech and spreyt at anys all can fayr1405

To lestand blyss, we trow, for euirmayr.

I will nocht tell how he dewydyt was

In fyve partis, and ordand for to pass;

Bot thus his spreit be liklynes was weill.

Off Wallace lyff quha has a forthar feill,1410

May schaw furth mair with wit and eloquence;
