Now leiff thi youth, [now] folow thi hard chance;

Now leyff thi lust, now leiff thi mariage;

Now leiff thi luff, for thow sall loss a gage85

Quhilk neuir in erd sall be redemyt agayne;

Folow fortoun, and all hir fers owtrage;

Go leiff in wer, go leiff in cruell payne.

Fy on fortoun, fy on thi frewall quheyll;

Fy on thi traist, for her it has no lest;90

Thow transfigowryt Wallace out off his weill,

Quhen he traistyt for till haiff lestyt best.
