Begouth to reckon kin and blude,

He raise and rax’d him quhair he stude,

And bade him match him with his marrows;

Then Tyndal hard these reseuns rude,

And they lute aff a flight of arrows.

Then was ther nocht but bow and speir,

And ilka man pullit out a brand,

A Schaftan and a Fennick their,

Gude Symington was slain frae hand.

The Scotismen cryd on uther to stand,
