72 The Vision of MacConglinne.
Keeping a mare from breaking wind,
Keeping a loose woman from lust,.
Water on the bottom of a sieve,
Trusting a mad (?) bitch,
5 Salt on rushes,
A settlement after marriage,
A secret to a silly woman,
(Looking for) sense in an oaf,
Exalting slaves,
lO' Ale to infants.
Competing (?) with a king.
A body without a head,
A head without a body,
A nun as bell-ringey,
15 A veteran in a bishop's chair,
A people without a king,
Eowing a boat without a rudder,
Corn in a basket full of holes,
Milk on a hide,
20 Housekeeping without a woman,
Berries on a hide,
Warning visions to sinners,
Reproof to the face,
Restoration without restitution,
25 Putting seed in bad land,
Property to a bad woman,
Serving a bad lord,
An unequal contract.
Uneven measure,
30 Going against a verdict,
To outrage the gospel.
Instructing Antichrist,
to instruct thee, MacConglinne, regarding thy apjoe-
tite.'
