With sichis sa sowpit and ouirset[1427],
Like to an fische fast in the net,
In deid-thraw vndeceist[1428],
Quha, thocht[1429] in vaine, dois striue for strenth
For to pull out hir heid,
Quhilk profitis nathing at the lenth
Bot haistes hir to hir deid[1430].

The faster still is scho;
Thair I so did lye so,
