You speir, how that my chance hes interprisd,

The tre is kend and knawin, gif it be fine,
Be the awin fruit, quhilk of it selfe outspreids,
I ken you likwais, quhilk hes done me pine,
Be all your actions and your outward deids.

That tyme micht serue the purpos for to speid,
And that I micht be spoilzit, and depryd,
Of my virginnitie, and maidinheid.
