VIII. [By fals suspect, baithe Ielous & vnkynde.]
By fals suspect, baithe Ielous & vnkynde,and vyld perverter of my trewe Intent,
the humble offers of my humbld mynde
ar otheruyse constructed then I ment:
for quhils to honour yow my spreits wer bent,
and reverentlie your beautie to adore,
for quhase sueit sake I wald my lyfe have spent,
to lust not love my zeale is imput more.
bot yow al seing gods, quha knaws afore
mens thoughts or euer men thame weil conceave,
dois knaw my thoughts such baldnes dois abhore,
and not presums sic favours for to crave:
for al my hap and houpe quhairin I trust
is for to serve and love and not to lust.
