For it was thair feist day,

Thay said,

Of Peblis to the play.

All the wenchis of the west

War up or the cok crew;

For reiling[761] thair micht na man rest,

For garray and for glew[762].

Ane said “My curches[763] ar nocht prest!”

Than answerit Meg full blew[764],

“To get an hude I hald it best.”
