Cvrage prouokis hardynes,

Quhilk twa adionit with happynes
Makis a man debait his pleid,
Richt sa into this cace, this Scheiphyrd did purches
The fair Madin als sweit as meid,
With all hir land and gold sa reid, God grantit him sic grace.

And for to purches honestie.

To dignitie wald thow the dres, and conqueis the honour
Thow suld not sleip in Idilnes, nor tak all thy plesour
Set all on sex and seuin, and perchance cast eleuin
With prayer sa and gude laubour, a man may cōqueis heuin
Denuding the of all rankour.
