So hapnyt it in his tyme with Wallace.

In his rysyng he was a luffar trew,

And chesyt ane, bot Inglissmen hir slew,

Yeit I say nocht, the queyn wald on hir tak,1145

All for his luff, sic trawaill for to mak.

Now luff or leiff, or for help off the land,

I mak raherss as I in scriptour fand.

Scho graithit hir apon a gudlye wiss,

With gold, and ger, and folk at hir dewiss;1150

Ladyis with hir, nane othir wald thai send,
