Of Scots lay[1956] slayne full xii thousande, And xi earles, the sooth for to say, Xiii lords, and three byshops as I vnderstande, With two abbots, which haue learnde a new play, They should haue bene at home for peace to pray: Wherefore they were thus wise punished by right: So thy helpe, O Lord, preserude our prince his right. 24. Theyr ordinaunce is lost, and theyr royalty, Wee haue theyr riches, God haue the prayseing:[1957] What ech man[1958] would take, hee had his[1959] liberty: Wherefore laude and honour to[1960] such a king, From dolefull daunger vs so defending:[1961] Hee has graunted vnto vs now his might, And by his only ayde preserude our prince’s right. 25. O _rex regum_, ruler[1962] of vs all, As thou for vs sufferedst[1963] thy passion, Gieue the Scots grace, by king _Iemye’s_ fall, For to eschue for euer like transgression,[1964] Preserue the red rose, and be his protection: Laude, honour, prayse be vnto God almight, Who thus suppreste our foes, preserud our prince’s right.[1965] 26. O yee noble lordes and knights victorius, I you beseech to haue mee excused, Your noble acts no better that I discusse, And that my simple saying be not refused: Where in any thing I haue mee misused, I mee submit to your charitable correction: And in this maner shall be my conclusion. qd. Frauncis Dingley.[1966]]
