TO HIS FAMILIAR FRIEND IN COWRT.
Heyis not ourhich in prosperus air,Nor ȝit for stormie blast dispair,
Bot soundlie saell vith modest vind,
And sickerlie thy ancker bind:
Tyds hich dois flow, Bot ebs als fast,
Than Rychtlie row, for courts vill cast:
Great velth vill velter oft to vo,
And vo rewert in veill also,
As plesis fortoune change hir quheill
Quhyls to distres, And quhyls to veill:
Sen erdlie state is so molest,
Lat Reson reull, And do the best,
first serwing God, And nixt Our king,
Vith loyal hart Abowe all thing.
