Brocht the kingis stane first in Irland.
In the meynetyme at this fell

There wes regnand a mychti king
That had all Spanȝe in gouernyng.
This king mony sonis had,
Off ane of thaim ȝit maist he maid,

In to þe fyfe and fifty gre,
As in the genology men may se,
Brocht þat stane in to Scotland,
First quhen he come and wan þat land;
And set it first in Ycomerkill,
And Scone it efter wes brocht till;

All will I þe word reherss
As I fynd of þat stane in verss:
Ni fallat fatum, Scoti, quocunque locatum
Invenient lapidem, regnare tenentur ibidem.
“Bot gif þat werdis falȝeand be,
Quhare euer that stane ȝe segit se,
Thare sall þe Scottis be regnand,
And lordis haill oure all þat land.”

And for to rekin þe genology
Off þis Symone doune lynyaly,
As thai discendit man be man,
And quhat thare names were callit than,
That were rycht strange for to reherss,

And ȝe suld call it a lawd ryme;
Forthy will I nocht thareon duell,
Bot furþ my purposs for to tell
Off seire cornyklis, as I fand
Thame writtin autentik beand.
