Ȝe, Inglische hursone! sumtyme will avant
Ȝour progeny frome Brutus to haif tane;
And sumtyme frome ane angell or ane sanctt,
As Angelus and Anglus bayth war ane:
Angellis in erth ȝit hard I few or ane,
Except ye feyndis with Lucifer yat fell.
Avant! ȝow villane of that lord allane,
Tak thy progeny frome Pluto prence of hell.
Ȝour progeny frome Brutus to haif tane;
And sumtyme frome ane angell or ane sanctt,
As Angelus and Anglus bayth war ane:
Angellis in erth ȝit hard I few or ane,
Except ye feyndis with Lucifer yat fell.
Avant! ȝow villane of that lord allane,
Tak thy progeny frome Pluto prence of hell.

Becaus ȝe vse in hoillis to hyd ȝovr sell,
Angluss is cum frome Angulus in deid;
Aboive all vderis Brutus bure ye bell,
Quha slew his fader howping to succeid:
Than chus ȝow ane of thais; I rek not ader;
Tak Beelȝebub, or Brutus to ȝovr fader.
