A cot off armes he tuk on him but baid;
With the harroldis full prewaly he raid
To Tynto hill with outyn residens,
Quhar Wallace lay with his folk at defence.370
A likly ost, as of sa few, thai fand;
Till hym thai socht, and wald no langar stand:
“Gyff ye be he that rewllis all this thing,
“Credence we haiff brocht fra our worthi king.”
Than Wallace gert thre knychtis till him call,375
Syne red the wryt in presens off thaim all.
