And firste march'd forthe the Galloway men,

Of the antiente Picts they sprange;

Theyr speares all soe brighte and bucklers strong

For manye myles yrang.

With Englishe them amonge:

For the empresse Maud they cam to fighte,

To righte that ladye's wronge.

And then march'd forthe the Scottish foote,

And then march'd forthe the horse;
