Yow if them ſtrang, yow if them vncouth thingis,

As diuerß iowellis, and ek preciouß ſtonis,

[1736] Or halkis, hundis, ordinit for the nonis,

Or wantone horß that can nocht ſtand in ſtāble;

Thar giftis mot be fair and delitable.

Thus, firſt vn to the vorthi pur yow if

[1740] Giftis, that may ther pouerte Releif;

And to the rich iftis of pleſans,

That thei be fair, ſet nocht of gret ſubſtans;
