Eris discordantly quoted, from a Pink Floyd song
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Several_species), "an account of the
famous defeat of Mary Queen of Scots at the battle of Langside that
took place in the 16th Century."  Here's a translation and analysis of
the full text, written in a Scottish dialect on the other side of the
great vowel shift from Chaucer's middle English.
