The Papingo said, “That is verytie.

Ryches, I grant, is nocht to be refusit,

Providyng alwaye it be nocht abusit.”

Than laid the Ravin ane replycatioun,

Syne said, “Thy reasone is nocht worth ane myte,

As I sall prove, with protestatioun

That no man tak my wordis in dispyte.

I saye, the temporall prencis hes the wyte[211],

That in the Kirk sic pastours dois provyde

To governe saulis, that not tham-selfis can gyde.
