I neid nocht rekkin ȝour filthye Harlotrie:
It is so knawin our alquhair, oppinlie;
Quhilk to rehearse, It mak[i]s me abhor!
Bot as the Townis of Sodome and Gomor,
The Creaturis and all that in thame was,
With fyre frome Heauin consumit was with as
For that foule stinkand Sin of Lychorie,
Richt so, ȝe Harlotis, but dout sall Plagit be
Be the grit Michtie God Omnipotent,
Except that ȝe moir spedylie repent!
Quhilk to rehearse, It mak[i]s me abhor!
Bot as the Townis of Sodome and Gomor,
The Creaturis and all that in thame was,
With fyre frome Heauin consumit was with as
For that foule stinkand Sin of Lychorie,
Richt so, ȝe Harlotis, but dout sall Plagit be
Be the grit Michtie God Omnipotent,
Except that ȝe moir spedylie repent!
