14 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 on 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 ſawes,

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:

Then shall the dane of Albany,

Be put to great perplexity,

Man ſin forethink, and miſs amend,

Dread God, do law, think on the end.

Betwixt Templeton and the Baſs,

Thou shalt ſee a right fair fight,

Of barges and billengers and many broad ſail.

With 3 libberts and the flower deluce 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 bidding be thou prompt:

He shall deal both tower and town,

His gifts shall ſtand for evermore.

Then boldly bown thee thereafter,

Upon a broad moor a battle shall be,

Beſide a ſtob croſs of ſtone,

Which on the moor ſtands hie,

It shall be clearly clad over with crops of Knights,
