[Thir verse disschyphre rycht as I tham bind]
Thir verse disschyphre rycht as I tham bind,
Or than ȝe sall no perfyt sentence find.
Or than ȝe sall no perfyt sentence find.
Ane man, Ane beist, Ane plant,
Is meid, Is Thrall, Is guid,
To Serwe, T' obey, To hant,
for God, for man, for fuid.
The bone, The flesche, The bluid,
Dois faill, Dois feid, Dois suage,
Vith tym, vith cair, vaxt ruid,
In graif, In erth, In age.
The slawe, The knawe, The page,
Dois schrink, Dois Drink, Dois play,
To serwe, To suerwe, To gage,
Ilk vycht, Ilk nycht, Ilk day.
