Quhilk and he faill than[1161] will scho him dispyte.
Still ageit men sould jois[1162] in morall taillis,
And nocht in taillis: for folye is to mary
Fra tyme that baith thair strenthe and nature faillis,
And tak ane wyf to bring him-selffe in tarye[1163];
For fresche Maii and cauld Januarij
Agreeis nocht upon ane sang in tune,
The tribbill wantis that sould be sang abune[1164].
Men sould tak voyage at the larkis sang,
And nocht at evin quhen passit is the day.
