XXIV. [THE ROYALL PALICE OF ÞE HEICHEST HEWIN.]
The royall palice of þe heichest hewin,the staitlie fornace of þe sterrie round,
the loftie wolt of wandring planettis sewin,
þe air, þe fyre, þe wattir, & þe ground—
220
surppassing far our gros & sillie sens,
The pregnant spreittis ȝit of þe leirnit hes fund,
by age, by tyme, & lang experience,
Thair pitche, thair powir, and Inflwence,
the cowrs of natwre & hir mowingis all;
Sa þat we neid nocht now be in suspence
off erthelie thingis, nor ȝit celestiall;
Bot onlie of þis monstwre luif we dout,
quhais craftie cowrs no cwning can find out.
