Quhilk is, in tyme for to tak tent,

And not, when tyme is past, repent,

And buy repentance deir.

Is thair na honoure efter lyfe

Except them slay thy-sell?

Quhairfoir hes Attropus[1471] that knyfe?

I trow thou cannot tell,

That, but it, wald cut it

That Clotho[1472] skairse hes spun,

Distroying thy joying
