"Therefore the one of us shall die this day."
Then said the doughty Douglas
Unto the lord Perse:
"To kill all these guiltless men,
Alas, it were great pity!
glede, burning gold. cast, intend.
"But, Perse, thou art a lord of land,
I am an Earl called within my contre -,
Let all our men upon a party stand,
And do the battle of thee and of me."
