Dame Hamel'mefs fcho tuke in Company, v
That hardy was and heynd in Archery,
And brocht in Bewtie to the Feild again,
With all the Choife of Venus Chevelly,

The Showris of Arrows rappit on lyke Rain,
Perrelus Prefence, that mony a Syre has flair*.;
The Battill brocht on Bordour hard me by,
The Aflalt was all the fairer Suth to fane.

And then as drukken Man he all forwayit,
Quhcn he wes blind, the Fule with him they playit,
And bannift him amang the Bewis Grenej
That Sicht fae fair me fuddenly affrayit. •
