TO HIS MAISTRES

O Rair
Preclair
Most fair,
My chois,
Repair
My cair
And spair
My lois.
O Rois
formois,
That gois
vith sort of thois, In dians rout,
Suppois
Quhat vois
Dois clois,
As fremmit fois, My hart about.

Restoir
To gloir
My soir,
O Deir;
My roir,
Thairfoir
Dois schoir
Deth neir:
Ewen heir
Synceir
I beir
Vith cairfull cheir In sorrow still:
But peir
Maist cleir
Vpsteir
My lyf seueir, At poynt to spill.
