Quhen that the Quene of tressoun did accuse him

Befoir hir Lords in haly Rudehous place.

Quhair clawbacks of the Court thocht till abuse him

Sa prudētly this Propheit yair did vse him,

Into refuting of thair fulischenes,

That all the haill Nobilitie did ruse[381] him

And praisit God for his greit vprichtnes.

Quhen Quene and Court could not get him cōuict,

Bot sa wer disappointit of thair pray,

Thay fryit in furie that he schaipit quick,
