And they with all the force thay can

Wounder[396] rudelie at aither ran,

And straik at uther with sa greit ire

That fra thair harnes flew the fyre.

Thair speiris wer sa teuch[397] and strang

That aither uther to eirth doun dang[398].

Baith hors and man, with speir and scheild,

Than flatlingis[399] lay into the feild.

Than Maister Talbart was eschamit.

“Forsuith for ever I am defamit!”
