Kynge Iamy / Iomy your . Ioye is all go ye sommn●ed our kynge why dyde ye ●o To you no thyn● it dyde accorde To sommon our kynge your souerayne lor●● A kynge a somner it is wonder Knowe ye not salte and suger asonder In your somnynge ye were to malaperte And your harolde no thynge experte Ye thought ye dyde it full valyauntolye But not worth thre s●ppes of a pye / Syr squyer galyarde ye were to swyfte . Your wyll renne before your wytte . To be so scornefull to your alye / Your counseyle was not worth a flye . Before the frensshe kynge / danes / and other Ye ought to honour your lorde and brother Trowe ye syr Iames his noble grace / For you and your scottes wolde tourne his face Now ye prode scottes of gelawaye . For your kynge may synge welawaye Now must ye knowe our kynge for your regent / Your souerayne lorde and presedent / In hym is figured melchisedeche / And ye be desolate as armeleche He is our noble champyon . A kynge anoynted and ye be non Thrugh your counseyle your tader was slayne Wherfore I fere ye wyll suffre payne / And ye proude scottes of dunbar Parde ye be his homager . And suters to his parlyment / Ye dyde not your dewty therin . Wyerfore ye may it now repent Ye bere yourselfe somwhat to bolde / The●fore ye haue lost your topholde . Ye be bounde tenauntes to his estate . Gyue vp yovr game ye playe chekmate . For to the castell of norham I vnderstoude to soone ye cam . For a prysoner there now ye be Eyther to the deuyll or the ermite . Thanked be saynte . Gorge our ladyes knythe Your pryd is paste adwe good nytht . Ye haue determyned to make a fraye Our kynge than beynge out of the waye But by the power and myght of god Ye were beten weth your owne rod By your wanton wyll syr at a worde Ye haue loste spores / cote armure / and sworde Ye had bee better to haue busked to huntey bakes / Than in Englonde to playe ony suche prankes But ye had some wyle sede to sowe . Therfore ye be layde now full lowe / Your power coude no lenger attayne Warre with our kynge to meyntayne . Of the kynge of nauerne ye may take hede / How vnfortunately he doth now spede / In double welles now he dooth dreme . That is a kynge witou a realme At hym example ye wolde none take . Experyence hath brought you in the same brake Of the out yles ye rough foted scottes / We have well eased you of the bottes Ye rowe ranke scottes and droken danes Of our englysshe bowes ye haue sette your banes . It is not fyttynge in tour nor towne / A somner to were a kynges crowne That ● Lyon . 〈…〉 and pryde hath layde a downe His sone the lorde admyrall is full good . His swerde hath bathed in the scottes blode God saue kynge . Henry and his lordes all And sende the treullhe kynge suche an other fall / Amen / for saynt charyte● And god saue noble .
