[Wo is the Hirdis of Israell]

Wo is the Hirdis of Israell,
That feidis nocht Christis flock.
Bot daintelie thay feid thaine self,
Syne dois the pepill mock.
The syllie scheip was all forlorne,
And was the wo{l}fis pray:
The hirdis reindit all the corne,
The scheip culd get na stray.
Thay gadderit vp baith woll and milk,
And tuke na mair cure,
Bot cled thame with the coistlie sylk,
And siclyke cled thair hure.
Thairfoir sayis God, I will requyre
My scheip furth of thair handis:
And giue thame hirdis at my desyre,
To teiche thame my commandis.
And thay sall nouther feid them self,
Nor ȝit hounger my scheip:
I sall them from my Kirk expell,

And geue thame swyne to keip.
FINIS.
