Heiringe.
From Jests profaine and flatring toungues,From Baudie tailles, from beastly songes,
From after-supper suites that feir
A parliament & byes it deir;
From Spanisch tretties that may wound
Our countries peace, our Gospell sound;
From Ioues fals freinds that wald intyss
My souerainge from heauens paradize;
From profeitts such as Achabes wer,
Quhosse flattring smouthes my souerainges eare,
With fanceis more nor hes maker feiring;
Bliss My soueraing & his heiring.
