To tak the playn thai thocht it most awaill.

In gret battaill away full fast thai raid;1775

In to strenthtis thai thocht to mak na baid.

Ner Louchmaban and Lochyrmos thai went,

Besyd Crouchmaid, quhar feyll Sotheroun was schent.

Rycht mony horss, at ronnyn had so lang,

And trawalyt sayr, thai mycht no forthir gang.1780

Schyr Jhon the Graym apon his fut was set;

Than Wallace als lychtyt with outyn let.

Thir twa on fute amang the enemyss yeid;
