OF ANE THOCHTLES AND FRIE HART FROM VORLDLIE CAIR.
SONNET.
Thocht I in cauldest Caucasus did duell,Or quhair the son maist feruentlie dois scheine,
Or vith veyld beists of Libia maist fell,
Ȝit in ane vprycht conscience and cleine,
Not farder vexit bot vith luif I meine
Of my renownit ladie vyis and fair,
I former hassard harmles mycht susteine,
for giltles hart suir varrand is from cair.
Ane giltles hart vith Tygers may repair,
Ane giltles hart may all assauts Induir,
Ane giltles hart triumphith euirmair
Abowe all thing that vold the sam InIuir,
Ane giltles hart possessit bot vith luif
Is suir as Rock that storms may not remuif.
