Sone eftir þat þe Inglismen,
That on þe est Marche wonnyt þen,
Be nythterdaill attour Tweid raid,
And catall, þat þai spyit had,
Off Schir Iohne of Gordonis tuke þai,
And wiþ þaim hyit on hame þar way.
And quhen þat he herd how þat his fe
Wes tane, a cumpany gat he,
And raid in Ingland for to ta
A poynd, and sone it happinnit sa
That he of catall gat a pray,
And held hamewart þarwith his way.

And held hamewart þarwith his way.
Bot Schir Iohne of Lilburne, þat was
A marcheare nere by, gaderit has
All þe gud men þat he mycht get,
And forouth him þe way with set,
And come syne to þe fechting neire.
Gordoune saw þat his fais were
Fere ma þan he; bot nocht forþi
His men he comfort sa stoutly,
And sa gud wordis spak þaim till
That all his folk to fecht had will,
And by Carrame assemblit þai;
Thare wes hard fechting, as I herd say.
Bot throu Gordonis gret bounte
The oure hand had his men and he.
Bot he þat day wes stad straitly;
For he wes woundit wickitly,
And fyve syse wes at gret myscheif;
Bot ay he gat help and releif.
Lilburne wes, and his broþer, tane,
And of his folk were mony slane,
That in a lwmp togidder lay;
The nomer of þaim I can nocht say;
And þe laif of his folkis ilkane,
That mycht nocht fle, in handis were tane.
Gordoune come hame þan wiþ his pray;
Bot he wes ill woundit, þai say;
Ȝit þan he couerit weill eftir sone.
And of þis deid, þat he had done,
Thare rakit of him gret renovne;
For prisit hiely wes þe Gordoun.
