“Bot in this toun I may no langar byde.”

Alss men tald him quhen the captayne wald pass

Hayme to Kynclewyn, quharoff glaid he wass.

His leiff he tuk at heris of the toune;

To Meffane wode rycht glaidly maid him boune.420

Hiss horn he hynt, and bauldly loud can blaw,

Hiss men him hard, and tharto sone couth draw.

Rycht blyth he wass, for thai war all in feyr;

Mony tithingis at him thai wald nocht speyr.

He thaim commaunde to mak thaim redy fast.425
