Magnificat anima mea.

My Saule dois Magnifie the Lord,
My Spreit reioycis gretumlie:
In God my Sauiour, and in his word
For he hes sene the law degre
Of me, his handmadin, trewlie,
Behald now efter this day,
All generations sall speik of me,
And call me blissit alway.
For he that is onlie of micht,
Hes done greit thingis vnto me,
And haly is his Name be richt
As for his endles mercie,
It duris perpetuallie
In euerie generatioun
And thay that dreidis him vnfenȝeitlie
Without dissimulatioun.
He schawis strenth with his arme patent,
Declaris him self to be of power:
He scatteris all men of proude Intent
Euin for thair wickit behauiour,
Quhilk reignes in thair hartis euerie hour
He puttis doun the michtie,
From thair hie estait and greit honour
Excelling them of law degre.
The houngrie feidis he with gude
And lettis the riche ga emptie:
Quhen his awin pepill wantis fude
It thinkis vpon his greit mercie,

126

And helpis his seruandis ane and all:
Euin Israel he hes promysit,
And to our fatheris perpetuall
Abraham and to his seid.
FINIS.
