Like ane wi' thirstie appetite Quha swalloweth orange pulp,Wes hearde a huggle an a bite, A swallow an a gulp.
Ye kynge hes lap frae aff hiz steid, Outbrayde[1] hiz trenchant brande;"Quha on my packe of hondes doth feed, Maun deye benead thilke hande."
Sae sed, sae dune: ye stonderes[2] hearde Fou many a mickle[3] stroke,Sowns[4] lyke ye flappynge of a birde, A struggle an a choke.
Owte of ye cave scarce fette[5] they ytte, Wi pow[6] an push and hau[7]—Whereof Y've drawne a littel bytte, Bot durst not draw ytte au.[8]
