That tyme Schir William of Dowglass,
That þe Erll Archibaldis sone was,
Wes a ȝoung ioly bachilere,
And prisit richt gretly of weire;
For he wes alway travaland,
Quhile be þe se, and quhile be land,
For to scaith his fais besy,
Sa þat þai dred him gretumly.

Slaand, distroyand, and birnand.

And at þe barres faucht sa weill
That on þe brig he slew a man,
The wichtest in þe toune wes þan,
Quhare on a plank bot twa fut braid
He stude, and sa gud payment maid
That he fellit twa sturdy fechteris,
And syne but scaith come till his feris.
Syne at Braid Feild throu strenth of hand
He discomfit þare twa thousand,
Quhare five hunder wes slane and tane.

To riche and pure ran renovnee,
For ilk man haly can him priss,
And lovit him apon all wiss.
