Quhar as a burn had warpyt rowand ftanys,
And bufkis with the brays down had bet,
That thai war in fa hard myfcheif ourfet,
As men nocht vfyt forto go feght on fnte,
10 And than, conftrenyt, knew nane other buyt.
For fcharpnes of that fl;ed, bot leif thar hors ;
That weil perfauyt he how that on fors
Thai gave the bak, and fchupe to tak the flyeht.

Thar curage he enflambis to the ftowr,
Quhilk raaner havyng is fuyth, as is the creid,
As vtir poynt remedy at fik a neid.

And be gour forcy dedis done of aid,
And by gour pryncis fame, Evander bald.
