OF ENEADOS. 855
As forto rays with fik dreid and efteir
Sa onworthy motioun of wikkit weir.
Now beis glaid> bruke thyne armour but pled :
Allace, a nobill corps thou lyggis ded,
5 The gret Turnus ! and, as to my demyng,
Lavynya has the coft na litill thyng :
Nor thou na fchame nedys thynk in na part,
That of Eneas hand thou kyllit art.
Now cumys heir Rutilianys, but delay,
10 The body of gour duke turs hyne away;
I grant 30U baith the armour and the man :
Hald on, and do tharto all that ge can,
As langis onto the honor of bereyng.
Or to bewail the deth of fik a kyng.
15 Bot the gret pafand gyrdill, and fik geir
That Pallas, my deir frend, was wont to weir.
To Evander I will fend, for tobe
Na litill folace to hym, quhen he fall fe
Hys felloun fa is kyllit thus, and knaw,
■20 Full glaid tharof, Turnus is brocht of daw.
And netheles now, ge Italianys,
That otherwys be clepe Aufonyanys,
Ramembir heirof, and lern in tyme cummyng
With bettir afpeftis and happy begynnyng
25 To move and tak on hand debait or weir :
For, be the blyffit fternys brycht I fweir,
Neuir nane ofl;is nor git armour glaidly
Aganyft gou in batal movit I ;
Bot confl-renyt by gour fury, as is kend,
30 With all my fors I fet me to defend
