How King Edward gat Striuelyne,
And how he presonyt þe capitane syne.
And how he presonyt þe capitane syne.
A thousand thre hunder ȝere and foure
Fra he his Lenterne þus held oure,
Fra Sanctandrois he past syne,
And set his [sege] about Striuelyne.
Thare baith þe castell and þe tovne

That all þe men þarin suld be
Off all harmes quyte and fre;
In scripture þis wes writtin þare
And selit; þarto þat wes mare,
To þis he gert set his seill;
Bot in þat hecht he wes nocht lele.
For fra he had þe castell gettin,
All þat cunnand wes forȝettin;
For William Oliphant, þat wes þan
Capitane þarof, gud Scottis man,
He gert be tane and bunding fast,
And send to Lundoune at þe last,
And put þare in a deip presoune,
And lang wes haldin in þat dungeoun;
And quhat worth of him mare, perde,
I can nocht tell þe certante.

How þat gouernyt is þis cuntre?
Thai sla oure folkis but enchesoun,
And haldis þis land agane ressoune.”

And all þat process maire clerely
