VI. [Quho wald here see the Sunn but heate to burne.]
Quho wald here see the Sunn but heate to burne,quhat harmonie the circled spheres dothe move,
how starns mens states by there aspect dothe turne,
and how that spreits ar blist and curst by love,
cast he his lookes not to these lights above,
bot theme devert on her proud humble eyes,
and on these blissings quhilk for her behove
to poure on her supernal pouers pleayse.
her soure sueit words ar vncoltrold decreyes,
which breathd from lyflye snaw engendreth flamme.
her port, her pace, her gesteur, as men sees,
proportion keipeth with the hevnlye frame,
which breiding chaist desyrs and vaine dois schift,
doith spurr the sluggish harts, and steys the suift.
