How þe kingis stane out of Irland
Wes brocht first fra þin in Scotland.
Wes brocht first fra þin in Scotland.
In þe first buke gif þat ȝe
Will neir þe last end reid and se,
Thare may ȝe fynd þe genologyis
That in till all part signyfyis
As our king suld cummyn be
Discendand evin fra Noe;
And quhy at þai disseuir þare

And quhy at þai disseuir þare
Ȝe sall wit or ȝe pass forthirmare.
In þe thrid eild storyis seir
Sayis þe Scottis cummyng wer
With Gadeill-Glaiss in Spanȝe land,
And in þe ferd eild in Irland,
And in þe [fift] eild, lang beforne,
In Scotland, or þat God wes borne.
Thir genologyis I maid forthy
Devysit, as ȝe se, distynctly,
And suppose I fand be name
Thame all writting, ȝit of þe fame
Of mony and þe douchtynes,
That lang tyme sa forletit wes,
Mater nane I worthy fand
That to your hering wer plesand
In to þis tretise for to writt.
Sa suld I dull haill ȝour delite,
And ȝe suld call it bot rayne
Or þat I had þaim all ourtane,
Gif I suld tell þaim halely
As þai ar in þe genology,
Without oþir distinctioun.

Quhare þare entre first began
In to þai landis at þai wan,
Till oþer staittis accordand
In Rome [or] Israell þan regnand
Befor þe Incarnatioun.
For I first na discriptioun,

For to ger þame all accord;
Bot sympilly for to record
Within þe eildis þat þai fell,
And nane oþir termis to tell.
