Syne cryit, ‘Colleris[330], beif and coillis[331],
Hois, and schone with dowbill soillis,
Caikis and candill, creische[332] and salt,
Curnis[333] of meill, and luiffillis[334] of malt,
Wollin and linning, werp and woft—
Dame! keip the keis of your woll loft!’
Throw drink and sleip maid him to raif;
And swa with us thay play the knaif.”
