CHAPTER C.
The auctour ferlyis þat of þe Pightis
Remanit noþer langage nor richtis.
Remanit noþer langage nor richtis.
Clerkis sayis þat prolixite,
That langsumnes may callit be,
Generis leth mare þan delite.
Off þis tretiss for thy þe dite
Is drawin in all distinctioun;
As eftere þe desensioun
That betuix þe Scottis fell
And þe Pightis rycht cruell,
That put þe Pightis out of þe land,
Quhare in befor þai were duelland
A thousand sexty ȝeris and ma.
Out of Scotland þai were put sa
That nouþer remanis of þare lynage,
Na ȝit na thing of þare langage,
That langsumnes may callit be,
Generis leth mare þan delite.
Off þis tretiss for thy þe dite
Is drawin in all distinctioun;
As eftere þe desensioun
That betuix þe Scottis fell
And þe Pightis rycht cruell,
That put þe Pightis out of þe land,
Quhare in befor þai were duelland
A thousand sexty ȝeris and ma.
Out of Scotland þai were put sa

Na ȝit na thing of þare langage,
The Scottis, foundit of þat rycht,
But ony help of outwart mycht,
Recouerit sa þare heretage
Evire to lest with þare lynage,
And oure king till hald his estait
Off God him self immediat,
And of nane oþer meyne personne.
But ony help of outwart mycht,
Recouerit sa þare heretage
Evire to lest with þare lynage,
And oure king till hald his estait
Off God him self immediat,
And of nane oþer meyne personne.
Hald þis for ferme conclusioun;
Quha argwiss agane þis wilfully
Lat him be ansuerit [listfully].
The Pape oure fader is speciall;
Deuote his sonnis we ar haill,
And redy all till his bidding
In lefull and in honest thing;
And ȝit weill mare indeferent
We are all till him obedient;
Sa has oure elderis all tyme bene,
Be gret witnes has bene sene
Off þame recouerit oure land
To þame and þairis throu stalwart hand.
It is my purposs now till haist,
Throu vertu of þe Haly Gaist,
Be verray relacioun,
Thare personale successioun,
That has ws in þis fredome set;
And, were it wilfully forȝet,
It wald be reput vnkyndnes,
And ellis perchans vncunnandnes.
