[XLIII. Anon. Christis Kirk on the Grene ;
P., p. 444; Bann. MS., fol. 99 a.]
Was never in Scotland hard nor sene
Sic dansing nor deray
nother in Falkland on the grene
nor peblis to the play
As was of wowaris as I wene 5
At chrystis kirk on ane day
Thair come our kittie wesching clene
In hir new kirtill of gray full gay
At chrystis kirk on the grene 10
To dance the damisallis pame dicht
and lassis licht of laittis
Thair gluvis war of the raffell richt
Thair schone war of the straitis
Thair kirtillis war of the lincuwz licht1 15
weill prest wz’tA mony plaitzk
[p. 130] Thay war so nyce quhen men pam nicht
Thay squeild lyk ony gaitis ful 2 loud
At chrystis kirk on the grene 20
Sche scornit lok and scrippit at him
And morgeound him wz't/z mokkis
He wald haue luffit hir sche wald noc/zt lat him
ffor all his 3allow lokkzk
He cherist hir scho bad ga chat him 35
Sche comptit him nozr^t tua clokkzs
So schamfullie ane schort goun sat him
his lyzzzmis was lyk twa rokkis sche said
At chrystis 40
Off all thir madinis myld as meid
was nane sa gymp as gillie
As ony rose hir rude was reid
Hir3 lyre was lyk the lillie
