[Name spotted, fame defyld, saule fraucht wt sin]
Name spotted, fame defyld, saule fraucht wt sin,Too long in such a carioun vyle inclois'd;
Presumptuous, puir, aspyring for a pin,
Adulterous, double, deuilischly disposit,
A sensual slaue, quho sence of schame hath loosit;
False, flatt'ring, fickle, and defamed for ay,
Quhose doating and deceat ar oft discloisd;
Earth's excrement, heavin's hatred, Plutoes pray,
A parlage cur, a brokin staffe for stay;
A Turk but treuth, a Pagane for a preist,
Quho, for his faults, sall render count one day,
Qll wormes wpon his filthy fleche do feast.
Sua, till the feinds this fyre brand fetch, I . . .
Wt such a subject loath to stain my . . .
