“Quhat suld I say, Wallace was playnly set To luff hyr best in all this warld so wid; Thinkand he suld off his desyr to get; And so befell be concord in a tid, That sho [was] maid at his commaund to bid; And thus began the styntyn aff this stryff: Begynnyng band, with graith witnes besyd, _Myn auctor sais, sho was his rychtwyss wyff_. Now leiff in pees, now leiff in gud concord! Now leyff in blyss, now leiff in haill plesance! For scho be choss has bath hyr luff and lord. He thinkis als, luft did him hye awance, So ewynly held be favour the ballance, Sen he at will may lap hyr in his armyss. Scho thankit God off hir fre happy chance, For in his tyme he was the flour off armys. Fortoune him schawit hyr fygowrt doubill face, Feyll syss or than he had beyne set abuff: In presoune now, delyuerit now throw grace, Now at vness, now in to rest and ruff; Now weyll at wyll, weyldand his plesand luff, As thocht him selff out off aduersité; Desyring ay his manheid for to pruff, In cairage set apon the stagis hye. The werray treuth I can nocht graithly tell, In to this lyff how lang at thai had beyne: Throuch natural course of generacioune befell, A child was chewyt thir twa luffaris betuene, Quhilk gudly was, a maydyn brycht and schene.” _Buke Sext_, 41-69. According to the above authority, the offspring of this marriage was first united in the bands of wedlock to an Esquire of the name of Shaw. Whether this was any connection of William de Shaw, mentioned at page 106, vol. i. of this work, as witnessing the charter of James, Lord High Steward of Scotland, along with some other friends of Wallace, we have no means of ascertaining. We are told, however, that “Rycht gudly men come off this lady ying.”
