Amang the fyr, rycht foull off offensioune.

The peple beryt lyk wyld bestis in that tyd,

Within the wallis, rampand on athir sid;

Rewmyd in reuth, with mony grysly grayne;

Sum grymly gret, quhill thar lyff dayis war gayne.460

Sum durris socht the entré for to get;

Bot Scottis men so wysly thaim beset,

Gyff ony brak, be awntur, off that steid,

With suerdis sone bertnyt thai war to dede;

Or ellys agayne beforce drewyn in the fyr:465
