Quhow I resavit confort naturall

For tyll discryve[558] at lenth it war too lang;

Smelling the holsum herbis medicinall,

Quhare-on the dulce and balmy dew down dang[559],

Lyke aurient peirles on the twistis[560] hang;

Or quhow that the aromatic odouris

Did proceid frome the tender fragrant flouris;

Or quhow Phebus, that king etheriall,

Swyftlie sprang up in-to the Orient,

Ascending in his throne imperiall,
