Note 29 — MINSTRELSY OF THE SCOTTISH BORDER. PART SECOND—CONTINUED. ROMANTIC BALLADS. (continued 2)
Reading edition
"Against the proud Scottes' clattering, That never wyll leave their tratlying; Wan they the field and lost theyr kinge? They may well say, fie on that winning! Lo these fond sottes and tratlying Scottes, How they are blinde in theyr own minde, And will not know theyr overthrow. At Branxton moore they are so stowre, So frantike mad, they say they had, And wan the field with speare and shielde: That is as true as black is blue, &c.
Skelton Laureate against the Scottes.
