A suerd him gaiff off burly burnist steill;75

“Gud sone,” he said, “this brand thou sall bruk weill.”

Off topastone him thocht the plumat was;

Baith hilt and hand all glitterand lik the glas.

“Der sone,” he said, “we tary her to lang;

“Thow sall go se quhar wrocht is mekill wrang.”80

Than he him led till a montane on hycht;

The warld him thocht he mycht se with a sicht.

He left him thar, syne sone fra him he went.
