Whare er ye, Skottes of Saint Johnes toune?
The boste of yowre baner es betin all doune;
When ye bosting will bede, sir Edward es boune
For to kindel yow care and crak yowre crowne:
He has crakked yowre croune, wele worth the while;
Schame bityde the Skottes, for thai er full 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.

Als thir clerkes wele may witten;
And yit in many prive nokes
