Then a brock ſhall make a braid on a broad field,
And an hound ſhall bear a back with a brim face;
The ſlothful ſluth hound ſhall ſlay him for ever;
Through a treaty of a truce, a train ſhall be made,
That Scotland ſhall rue, and England for ever;
For the which Gladſmoore and Govanmoore gapes thereafter,
Then ſhall the banks of Beil bloom all about.
Then hye the Hurcheon to Hales and cloſe thee therein,
Thou ſhall be warped with a wind, and plucked ilk pen,
Shall never down on thy ſkin, nor birs be thee left:
A thunder ſhall work thy hold to the cold earth,
Shall never ſtone upon ſtone on ground be thee left,
And ſo this wretched beaſt is deſtroyed for ever.
When faith fails in prelates fawes,
And temporal lords will hold new laws,
And leachery holden for privy ſolace,
And reef holden for good purchaſe,
When Rome is divided in two parts,
And every prieſt hath the Pope's power:

Be put to great perplexity,
Man ſin forethink, and miſs amend,
Dread God, do law, think on the end.

Of barges and billingers and many broad ſail,
With 3 libberts and the flower de luce high upon height,
And ſo the dreadful Dragon ſhall riſe from his den,
And from the deep doughty ſhall draw to the height.
Off Bruces left ſide ſhall ſpring out a leaf,
As near as to the ninth degree,
And ſhall be eſteemed of fair Scotland,
In France far beyond the ſea:
And then ſhall come again riding,
With eyes that many men may ſee.
At Aberlady he ſhall light,
With hempen halters and horſe of tree,
On Cosfoord green it ſhall be ſeen,
On Gladſmoore ſhall the battle be:
Now Albany make thou the bown,
At hidding be thou prompt:
He ſhall deal both tower and town,
His gifts ſhall ſtand for evermore.
Then boldly bown thee thereafter,
