Thomas of Erceldoune

“ Then shall the counsel, which cumbered hath the kith
Call for comfort, but long they may crave;
The marked to the highest, and to overhaile the old,
But all in vain they work, they shall not prevail ”

“ They shall work unwise, and wit shall they lack,
Then waried their wierd, that ever they were wrought,
Then shall the ratches in this region takes,
And run their race rudely but any return,
The best of the Kyth shall cry for support;
But scarce shall they rise, they shall be fae swier:
The hound which was harmed, then missed shall be,
Who loved him worst, shall weep for his wrack ”
