Fra butellar had vpone gude Wallace fene
For auld malice he wox neir wod for tene
Wpone ye fcottis yai fchupe all with grete mane
Wallace fone ye ftrenth he tuke agane
Ane fell bikker the inglifmen began
Affailjeit fare with mony ane cruell man
Bot yai within war nobill of defence
Maid grete debait with force and violence
At the entre xv. yai brocht to dede.
Than all ye laif remouit fra that ftede

Fallowis he said agane all at yis place
Thai will nocht faill bot yus ftandis ye cace

In feir placis the futh 3e fall weill ken
Agane on vvs to preif how it may be
Ws wourthis now fum vthir way to fe
Contrar yare mycht ane gude defence to mak
