"The Earl of Menteith, thou art my eme,
The forward I give to thee; The Earl of Huntley cawte and keen, He shall with thee be. "The Lord of Buchan, in armour bright, On the other hand he shall be; Lord Johnstone, and Lord Maxwell, They two shall be with me. "Swynton fair field upon your pride To battle make you bowen; Sir Davy Scot, Sir Walter Steward, Sir John of Agerstone." THE SECOND FYTTE The Percy came before his host, Which ever was a gentle knight, Upon the Douglas loud did he cry, "I will hold that I have hight; "For thou hast brente Northumberland, And done me great envy; For this trespass thou hast me done The one of us shall die." |
