Amang Sotherone sic dyntis gaiff that tyd,

Quhill blud on breid byrstyt fra woundis wyd,

Wallace in stour wes cruelly fechtand;

Fra a Sotheroune he smat off the rycht hand:

And quhen that carle off fechtyng mycht no mar,165

With the left hand in ire held a buklar.

Than fra the stowmpe the blud out spurgyt fast,

In Wallace face aboundandlye can out cast;

In to gret part it marryt hym off his sicht.

Schyr Jhone the Grayme a straik has tayne him rycht,170
