wyth love.
Whose hateth soth ant ryht,
Lutel he douteth Godes myht,
the heye kyng above.

To warny alle the gentilmen that bueth in Scotlonde,
The Waleis wes to-drawe, seththe he was an-honge,
Al quic biheveded, ys bowels y-brend,
The heved to Londone brugge wes send
to abyde.
After Simond Frysel,
That wes traytour ant fykell,
and y-cud ful wyde.

Sire Edward oure kyng, that ful ys of pieté,
The Waleis quarters sende to is oune contré,
On four half to honge, huere myrour to be,
Theropon to thenche, that monie myhten se
ant drede.
Why nolden he be war
Of the bataile of Donbar,
hou evele hem con spede?

love.--He who hateth truth and right,--little he fears God's might,--the high
king above.

To be a warning to all the gentlemen who are in Scotland,--the Wallace was
drawn, and afterwards was hanged,--beheaded all alive, his bowels burnt,--the
head to London Bridge was sent--to remain there.--Afterwards Simon Fraser,
who was traitor and fickle,--and known full wide.

Sir Edward our king, who is full of piety,--sent the Wallace's quarters to his
own country,--to hang in four parts (of the country), to be their mirror,--there-
upon to think, in order that many might see--and dread.--Why would they not
take warning--of the battle of Dunbar,--how ill they sped?
