Bot gif it happin that he be ane knyght of youris here
Has done my lord to displeise that I hym said ryght
And his presence plane

Schir gavyne gettis his leif and grathis to his steid
And broght to the bauld king boid word of blis
Weill gretis yow lord yone lusty in leid.
And says hym likis in land your langour to lis
All the wyis in welth he weildis in theid
Sall halely be at your will all that is his
Than he merkit witht myrth our ane grene meid
With all the best to the burgh of lordis I wis
The knight kepit the king cumly and cleir
With lordis and ladyis of estate
Met hym furth on the gate With ane blith cheir.
Syne tuke hym in at yate

With dukis and digne lordis doughty in deid
