Trew Scottis men that fewté maid him thar;

And gaiff gretly feill gudis at he wan;

He warndit nocht till na gud Scottis man.780

Quha wald rebell, and gang contrar the rycht,

He punyst sar, war he squier or knycht.

Thus marwalusly gud Wallas tuk on hand;

Lykly he was, rycht fair and weill farrand,

Mandly and stout, and tharto rycht liberall,785

Plesand and wiss in all gud gouernall.

To sla, forsuth, Sotheroun he sparyt nocht;
