[In till ane mirthfull Maij morning]

In till ane mirthfull Maij morning
Quhen Phebus did vp spring,
Walkand I lay, in ane garding gay,
Thinkand on Christ sa fre
Quhilk meiklie for mankynde,
Tholit to be pynde,
On Croce cruellie. La. La.
And how he hes me wrocht,
And formit me of nocht,
Lyke his picture, that Lord maist sure,
In eird he hes me support,

121

Syne me to hald in richt,
Hes send ane Angell bricht,
To be my comfort. La. La.
[illeg.]Sathan fals vntrew,
Quhilk cruelly dois persew,
With violence, and greit defence,
In eird to tempt mankynde
With cruell sinnis seuin,
The Saull to gyde from heuin,
To hell for to be pynde. La. La.
Thairfoir (O gracious Lord)
Quhilk mercy hes restoird
That sinfull wicht, destroy his micht,
Quhilk wirkis aganis thy gloir,
And send thy gracious word,
Thy pepill may be restoird
We pray the thairfoir. La. Lay.
