Yeit glaid wes he that he had chapyt swa:
Bot for his men gret murnyng can he ma;
Flayt by him self to the Maker off buffe,
Quhy he sufferyt he suld sic paynys pruff.230
He wyst nocht weill giff it wes Goddis will,
Rycht or wrang his fortoun to fullfill:
Hade he plesd God, he trowit it mycht nocht be
He suld him thoill in sic perplexité.
Bot gret curage in his mynd euir draiff,235
Off Inglissmen thinkand amendis to haiff.
