Next in the Dance followit Envy,

Filled full of feud and felony,

Hid malice and despite:

For privy hatred that traitor tremlit;

Him followit mony freik dissemlit,[126]

With fenyeit wordis quhyte:[127]

And flatterers in to men's faces;

And backbiters in secret places,

To lie that had delight;

And rownaris of false lesings,[128]

Alace! that courts of noble kings

Of them can never be quit.
