Quharefor, because myne mater bene so rude

Of sentence, and of rethorike denude,

To rurall folke myne dyting[118] bene directit,

Far flemit[119] frome the sycht of men of gude[120];

For cunnyng men, I knaw, wyll soune conclude

And quhen I heir myne mater bene detractit

Than sall I sweir I maid it bot in mowis[122]

To landwart lassis quhilks kepith kye and yowis[123].
