He knew full weyll hyr kynrent and hyr blud,

And how scho was in honest oyss and gud.615

Quhill wald he think to luff hyr our the laiff,

And othir quhill he thocht on his dissaiff,

How that hys men was brocht to confusioun,

Throw his last luff he had in Saynct Jhonstoun.

Than wald he think to leiff and lat our slyd:620

Bot that thocht lang in hys mynd mycht nocht byd.

He tauld Kerlé off his new lusty baille,

Syne askit hym off his trew best consaill.
