A thousand and thre hundreth ȝere
Fourescore and þarto nyne all cleire,
In to þe winter followand,
The king wiþ lordis of þe land
At Edinburgh a counsall held;
And for þe king him febill feld
For eild, and for his eldest sone
Wes nocht fery as he wes won,
With assent of his thre commonis,
Bischopis, burgessis, and baronis,
The Erll of Fif wes maid wardane;
And he suore he suld set his pane
To keip þe land in pess and weire.
And all þe lordis þare can suere
To gif him leill counsall þarto,
And als to help him þat to do.

Were tane wiþ Scottis, sen þai were ma,
And come als on þaim sodanely,
To hald agane þaim ony party;

And baid him cum furþ, and assay

Bot ansuerd þat he wald nocht then
Put in perill þe kingis men.
And quhen þe wardane saw at he

And þare had huffit neire half a day,
Till his herbery he tuke þe way;
And syne come hamewartis distroyand,
The cuntre forouth him waistand.
