(This song, probably contemporary, is inserted by Wyntoun at the close
of his account of Alexander III., under the heading "Cantus.")
Quhen Alysandyr oure Kyng wes dede,
That Scotland led in luẅe and lé,[28]
Away wes sons[29] off ale and brede,
Off wyne and wax, off gamyn and glé:
Oure gold wes changyd in to lede.
Cryst, borne in to Vyrgynyté,
Succoure Scotland and remede,
That stad is in perplexyté.
[28] Law.
[29] Plenty.
