So far as in us lies we will renounce you as our father.

We will not, because of the commandment, rise in rebellion against you.

You are Earl of Douglas, and while you live must rule your own.

But for me and my brothers we will never be your children to honour, your sons to succour, nor your liegemen to fight for you.

We go to offer our services to our cousin Margaret, the little Maid of Galloway.
