Moralitas.

That it is writtin weill we knaw
Into the Buke of Exodie,
Quhen God to Moyses gaue the Law
In Mont Sinay that hill so hie
Into that Buke thair find may we
Amang the ten Commandements
That we obedient suld be
And hald in honour our Parents.

Sa did this Chylde quhen that he saw
His Father be the way cummand
Doun of his hors he lichtit law
On his kneis tuke him be the hand,
Als quhen his Father gaue command
Him for to speik, he bowit his heid
Sith humbill hart to him menand
I dar not speik for feir of deid.
Sic thing his Father na way kend
Bot quhen the Quene come in presence
Incontinent he bad him wend
With hir to Chalmer, and go hence
The Chyld with all Obedience
Past at command howbeit he knew
That it wald caus ane greit Offence,
Kend weill that race that he wald rew.
Euin sa we suld be all and ane
To our Parents Obedient,
And giue our awin be deid and gane
The Principall ay, is remanent,
That is our Father all Potent
He feidis vs with his haly hand
Than lat vs set our haill Intent
On our best way keip his command.
