I thocht to pray hir hy magnificence;

But for greit cald as than I lattit was,

And in my chalmer to the fyr can pas.

Thocht luf be hait, yit in ane man of age

It kendillis nocht sa sone as in youthheid,

Of quhom the blude is flowing in ane rage;

And in the auld the curage †douf and deid,

Of quhilk the fyr outward is best remeid,

To help be phisik quhair that nature failit;
