II. ANSUER.
Gif that my thoughts in loving yow [OMITTED]a fainting ons off thair affectioun trew,
gif they haue not fra tyme to tyme bene paind,
and daylye mair with furie dois persew
your gracious grace, that dois my hart subdew,
and with the bands of love hes me inchaind,
then lett al plags vpon me, wrechte, insew,
and let me ay heirafter be disdaind;
Let thir myne eyne by blindnes so be staind
quhilk did abeus your sparks and heuinly hew,
and lett my toung, sa falcefyd and faind,
serve to none vse bot ay my faults to rew;
And let my hairt become a seat of hell,
and alls my soul the scourger off hir sell.
