Sum to the kyrk, thar lywys giff thai mycht keip;

Sum fled to Tay, and in small weschell yeid;

Sum derffly deit and drownyt in that steid,750

Schir Jhon Sewart at the west port owt past;

Till Meffen wod he sped him wondyr fast.

A hundreth men the kyrk tuk for succour,

Bot Wallace wald no grace grant in that hour.

He slay bad all off cruell Sotheroun keyn;755

And said thai had to Sanct Jhonstoun enemys beyn.

Four hundreth men in to the toun war ded.
