‘I wald yow wed with all hartlie plesance;

‘But as this tym I may nocht tak sic chance.

‘And for this causs none othir now I crayff:

‘A man in wer may nocht all plesance haiff.’715

Off thar talk than I can tell yow no mar

To my purposs, quhat band that thai maid thar.

Conclud thai thus, and syne to dyner went.

The sayr grewans ramaynyt in his entent;

Loss off his men, and lusty payne off luff.720

His leiff he tuk at that tyme to ramuff.
