About the well he baid;

Quhylis lying, quhylis crying,

Bot it na answere maid.

The dew as diamondis did hing

Vpon the tender twistis[1365] and ying,

Owir-twinkling all the treis;

And ay quhair flowris flourischit faire

Thair suddainly I saw repaire

In swarmes the sounding beis.

Sum sweitly hes the hony socht,
