Description of Wallace

Proportional lang and fair was his visage; Richt sad of speech, and able in courage; Braid breist and heich, with sturdy crag and great; His lippis round, his nose was square and great; Bowand broun hairit, on browis and breeis licht, Clear aspre een, like diamonds bricht.

Under the chin, on the left side, was seen, Be hurt, a wain; his colour was sanguine.

Woundis he had in mony drivers place, Bot fair and weil keepit was his face.

Of riches he keepit no proper thing; Gave as he wan, like Alexander the king.

In time of peace, meek as a maid was he; Whar weir approachit the right Ector was he.

To Scottis men a great credence he gave; Bot knawin enemies they couth him nocht dissave.
