Skottes out of Berwik and of Abirdene,
At the Bannok burn war ye to kene,
Thare slogh ye many sakles, als it was sene
And now has king Edward wroken it, I wene,
It es wrokin, I wene, wele wurth the while;
War yit with the Skottes, for thai er ful of gile.

About Laurence Minot

Laurence Minot (1300? – 1352?) was an English poet. Nothing definite is known of him. It has been suggested that he was a cousin of Thomas Minot, Archbishop of Dublin 1363–1375. If this is so, he came from a family from the north of England. He may have been a soldier. Eleven poems are attributed to him, all of which appear uniquely in London: British Library, MS Galba E. ix. In them, he celebrates in northern English and with a somewhat ferocious patriotism the victories of Edward III over the Scots and the French.

Fro Philip the Valais was sir David sent
All Ingland to win fro Twede unto Trent

In this dale I droupe and dare
For dern dedes that done me dere.
Of Ingland had my hert grete care
When Edward founded first to were.
The Franche men war frek to fare
Ogaines him with scheld and spere,
Thai turned ogayn with sides sare,
And al thaire pomp noght worth a pere.

Oure king and his men held the felde
Stalwortly, with spere and schelde
And thoght to win his right,
With lordes and with knightes kene
And other doghty men bydene,
That war ful frek to fight.
