XII. [OF THE SAME.]
Can goldin Titan shyning bright at morne,For light of torches, cast a gritter shau?
Can thunder reird the higher for a horne?
Craks cannouns louder thoght a cok suld crau?
95
Can candle lou give fyr a griter heet?
Can quhytest suanis more quhyter mak the snau?
Can virgins teirs augment the winter[s weet?]
Helps pyping Pan Apollos musik sueet?
Can fontans smal the ocean sea incres?
No: they augment the griter not a quheet,
Bot they thaim selfis appeir to grou the les:
So, peirles Prince! thy cunning maks the knoune;
Ours helps not thyn: we steinȝie bot our aune.
