Then Ire came in with sturt[19] and strife,

His hand was aye upon his knife,

He brandish'd like a beir;

Boasters, braggers, and barganeris,[20]

After him passed into pairis,[21]

All bodin in feir of weir.[22]

In jackis, scripis, and bonnets of steel,

Their legs were chenyiet[23] to the heel,

Froward was their affeir,[24]

Some upon other with brands beft,[25]

Some jaggit[26] others to the heft[27]

With knives that sharp could shear.
