In deid that ze suld not susteind,

He thunderit threitnings to the air,

To terrifie zow mair and mair,

And rug[423] zow back that ze micht rew;[424]

For he knew perseueird ze thair,

Ze wer bot schipwrak but reskew.[425]

Than all this land thow may lament,

That thow lacks sic ane Instrument,

Till sum not plesand, zit, sa plane,

That all the godly was content.
