Feill Sotheroun folk was marryt in thair mycht,

Slayne be the gait as thair king fled away.

Bathe fair, and brycht, and rycht cler was the day,

The sone ryssyn, schynand our hill and daill.605

Than Wallace kest quhat was his grettest waill,

The fleand folk, that off the feild fyrst past,

In to thair king agayne releiffit fast.

Fra athir sid so mony semblit thar,

That Wallace wald lat folow thaim no mar;610

Befor he raid, gart his folk turn agayne.
