Twa and fyfty at anys kneland doun,

And salust him, as ryoll off most renoun,

With rewllyt spech in so gudly awyss,

All France couth nocht [mair] nurtour tham dewyss.310

The queyn had leiff, and com in hyr effer;

For mekill scho herd off Wallace deid in wer.

Quhat nedis mor off curtassy to tell?

Thai kepyt weill that to the Scottis befell.

Off kingis fer I dar mak no rahers;315

My febill mynd, my trublyt spreit rewers.
