As I perceaue, it wes, that tha and thairs
Mycht stylit be “most holy God-makairs,”
And thairthrow cum to warldlie Pomp and gloir,
Richt as tha did;—for nane micht clim to moir;
For Papis precellit the Kings in Dignytie,
And Cardinals wes Companȝeonis to our Kings;
For with my Eis my self did se thir things;—
This mouit thame that werk till Interpryse,
Quhilk montit thame on sic ane prydfull wyse.
