XLII. JAMES LAUDER.
I wald se mare.
I wald se mare nor ony thing I sie;I sie not ȝit the thing that I desyre:
Desyre it is that does content the ee;
The ee it is vhilk settis the hairt in fyre.
110
I tyre far mair, till tyme these flammis I feid:
I feed affectione, spurring to aspyre
Aspyre I sall, in esperance to speid;
To speed I hope, thoght danger still I dreid;
I dreid no thing bot ouer long delay:
Delay in love is dangerous indeed;
Indeid I shape the soner to assay;
Assay I sall, hap ill or weill, I vou;
I vou to ventur, to triumph I trou.
