Thir four scheldis of pryce in to presence
War chenȝeit so cheualrus, that no creatur [Wer changit.]

And ilk scheld in that place

And als kepit ilk armes that I said eir,

Quhat fele armes on loft, louely to lend,

On his garment so gay, of ane hie haid,
Line 630

And I will to my first mater, as I eir maid, [first om.]
