VIII.
Through feare and hope, through fervent flams and frost,through certen dreid, and maist vncerten caire,
I have the flouer of age and youthe so lost
as now my heade beginns to chainge his haire;
nor yet do I forsee how tyme may paire,
or yet the heavens deminish may my griefe;
nor can I see how to avoyde the snaire
quhairin I rin with ioy to my misheife;
nor spye I yet quhat confort or releif
can I pretend, or yet will shee extend,
sen shee vnto my doole is dombe and deif,
and dois my plaints disdainfullye perpend,
and with her eyes, which sprinkleth frostes and fyre,
maks reasoun, saule, and sence attones exspyre.
