For the frendschipe king Eduuard with hym fand,

Protector haile he maid hym of Scotland.140

That office than he brukyt bot schort tyme.

I may nocht now putt all thair deid in ryme;

Off cornikle quhat suld I tary lang?

To Wallace agayne now breiffly will I gange.

Scotland was lost quhen he was bot a child,145

And our set throuch with our ennemyss wilde.

His fadyr Malcom in the Lennox fled;

His eldest sone thedir he with hym led.
