Nor git Achillis char perfavis draw,
Thocht athir venquyft the in feild, we knaw ;
Nor git the Troiane planys behaldis thou :
The end of thyne age and of bargane now
5 Salbe maid in thir landis on this grond.
Sic wordis vayn and onfemly of fovnd
Furth warpys wyde this Lyger fulychly :
Bot the Troian barroun onabafitly
Na wordis preffis to rendir hym agane,
10 Bot at hys fa leyt fle a dart or flayn,
That hyt Lucagus ; quhilk, fra he felt the dynt,
The fchaft hyngand into hys fcheild, but ftynt
Bad dryf hys hors and char al fordwart ftrecht,
As he that hym addreffit to the fecht,
15 And ftrekit furth hys left fut in hys char:
Bot fone Eneas fpeir was reddy thar,
Beneth hys fchynand fcheild reverfyt law.
So that the grondyn hed the ilk thraw
At hys left flank or lei(k perfyt tyte,

And on the grond weltis in the ded thrawys.
Quham on this wys with fowT wordis and fawys

Lucagus, faid he, forfuyth as at this tyde
25 Na fla curs of thy horffys onweldy
Thy cart has rendryt to thyne ennemy,
Nor git na vayn wrathys nor gaiftis quent
Thi char conftrenyt bakwart forto went,
And malgre thyne withdraw thi fays gryppys ;
30 Bot lo now, of thy fre will, as thou fkyppys
