A madyn myld, as my buk will declar,585
Off auchteyn yeris ald or litill mor off age;
Alss born scho was till part off heretage.
Hyr fadyr was off worschipe and renoune,
And Hew Braidfute he hecht of Lammyngtoune,
As feylle othyr was in the contré calld;590
Befor tyme thai gentill men war off ald.

The madyn than wyst off no othyr rede,
Bot still scho duelt on trewbute in the toune,
