“It is richt facill and sith gate, I thè tell,

For to descend and pass on doun to hell:

The black yettis of Pluto and that dirk way,

Standis evir open and patent nycht and day:

But therefra to return agane on hicht,

And bere aboue recouir this airis light,

That is difficill werk, there labour lyis;

Full fewe there bene quhom heich aboue the skyis,

Thare ardent vertew has rasit and upheit,

Or yet quhame squale Jupiter deifyit,
