And mirrines wes nocht away.

Of our wanthrift sum wyttis playes[1097],

And sum thair wantoune vaine arrayis;

Sum the wyt on thair wyfes layes

That in the court wald gang[1098] sa gay

And care nocht quha the merchand payis,

Quhill[1099] part of land be put away.

The kirkmen keipis na professioune;

The temporall men commitis oppressioune,

Puttand the puire from thair possessioune;
