Quhen Jelousy abhomiwable was hold 255
Quhareof eschamith euery noble wy
Than was thir Ladies euer in honour hold
Thair lusty hede quhich causith mony fold
Fredome gentrise disport and cheualry
Thai syng thai dance and makith company 260
Thame to defame was non pat durst nor wold
As now thai do withoutyn cause or quhy.
And 3k I wote pix Ladies bene echone
Als trew and sad as ony tyme aygone
And ar to blame als litill or repreue 265
Bot now thai mone thame vttirly dispone
To duell as doth pe anker in pe stone
Yf that thai think vndemyt for to leve
So fast encressyn can this false beleue
That in this world fewe Ladyis ar or none 270
Quhich schall vnsclandent from his tong escheve.
For ife sche makith chere or company
As they were wount he raisith vp his cry
And yfe sche loke he jugith of hir t hoc/d
And sett sche loke or speke vnto no ioy 275

To plesyn him for sum thing mon he say
Than goth all rest than goth all pes away
Fare wetye of lufe the gladnese and pe blis
