[Sen throw vertew Incressis dignitie]
Sen throw vertew Incressis dignitie,
And vertew is flour and rute of Nobles ay
Of ony wit or quhat estait thow be,

Eiect vice, and follow treuth alway
Lufe maist thy God that first thy lufe began
And for ilk Inche he will quyte the ane span.

Lufe maist thy God that first thy lufe began
And for ilk Inche he will quyte the ane span.
Be not ouir proude in thy prosperitie
For as it cummis, sa will it pas away,
The tyme to compt to schort thow may weill se.
For of grene gres sone cummis wallowit hay
Labour in treuth, quhilk suith is of thy fay
Traist maist in God, for he best gyde the can
And for ilk Inche he will the quyte ane span.

Sen word is thrall, and thocht is only fre,
Thow dant thy toung, that power hes and may,
Thow steik thy Ene fra warldis vanitie,
Refraine thy lust, and harkin quhat I say
Graip or thow slyde, and keip furth the hie way,
Thow hald the fast vpon thy God and man
And for ilk Inche he will the quyte ane span.
