 And ſaid, earl Douglas for thy ſake,
 * would I bad loſt my land.

Oh Chriſt! my very heart doth bleed,
 * with ſorrow for thy ſake,

For ſure a more renowned knight,
 * miſchance did never take.

A knight among the Scots there was,
 * who ſaw brave Douglas die,

And ſtraight in wrath did vow revenge,
 * upon the Lord Piercy.

Sir Hugh Montgomery he was call'd,
 * who with a ſpear moſt bright,

Well mounted on a gallant ſteed,
 * rode fiercely through the fight,

He paſs'd the Engliſh archers all,
 * without e'er dread or fear,

And through earl Piercy's body then,
 * be thruſt the hateful ſpear,

With ſuch vehement force and might,
 * he did his body gore,
