CHAPTER CLVIII.
How þe batall of DuplyneWes throu a wickit manis entysing.
In þe samyn tyme þat þis was,
The gud Lord Iames of Dowglas
In to þe kinrik of Scotland
One his purposs wes bydand.
In to þe bischoprik of Glasgow
Than wes a clerk of gret vertew,
And wes þe bischopis officiall.
The iurisdictioun he had haill
To pvniss exces and trespas;
Maister William hattyn he was
Off Ekfurd oure all þat land.
Than wes a ȝoung man by wonnand,
396
He wes wantoun, and had in won,
By his wif, oftsyss to ly
With oþer wemen in lummanry.
Forouth þe officiall he summond was;
Bot for he wald nocht leif his trespas,
Na do pennance for his misdeid,
The strif sa fere betuix þaim ȝeid,
That þis man fell in sic foly,
That he þe officiall can aspy
Toward þe toune of Aire rydand;
He tuke him rudly, and him band,
And, or he past, he gert him pay
A gret sovme of gud monay.
The Lord Dowglass, at þat tyme was
Makand him redy for to pass

As he befor had tane on hand,
Gert seik þis man sa naroly
That he be slycht all prevely
In mekle dout passit þe se;
And to þe Balliole syne come he,
And said him þat he wes his man;
And sua inducit he him þan
To purchess help, and tak on hand
For to raiss weire in to Scotland;
And þarto gaif he his assent.

398
Lo! how litill thing may gere
Gret harme fall in mony wyss,
As men has sene, and seis oftsyss.
This Schir Eduard þe Ballioll þan
Throu þe entysing of þis man,
As men sais, past þan in Ingland;
And þare he sindry lordis fand,
That clamyt to hald landis of fe
In Scotland; and sone þai and he

And for þat weire þai maid þaim bovne.
Schire Henry þe Bewmond wes ane,
Quham at þar counsall wes mast tane,
For he wes wyss and rycht werty;
The Erll of Archelle syne Davy,
Cummyne, Talbot, and Mowbray,
And mony ma þan I can say.
Bot for þai wist þe Erll Thomas
Off Murrave ȝit þan liffand was,
That followit nocht of þat empriss;
For þe Bewmond, þat wes wiss,

Be distroyit, and with tressoun;
And þat þai brocht sone till ending
Be sum tressonable vndirtaking;
For at þe Wemys neire þe se
Poysound at a fest wes he.
