ROLAND FURIOVS.
Vith darts Ingrawe, Declaring be dewyis
That in that proper place haid luifers met,
[Foi. 51 a.] And offrit Venus thankfull sacrafyis.
Now from this part to pass thay Interpryis,
Thair lournay tending to the Orient bent,
Quhair hir Imperiale kingdome velthie lyis,
That Medor mycht posses hir royale rent.
Bot hir great vorschip void Befoir scho vent
Present the pastors vith sum recompance,
Quho haid declaird thair seruiable Intent
In euerie thing mycht haif done hir plesance.
Ane Braslat rair, Quhilk gloriuslie did glance
Vith diamonts decorde And Rubeis fyne,
Quhilk Roland gaife hir In remembrance,
Scho randrit tham the sam In ane propyne.
Vith humyle thanks the Pastors did Inclyne
And knelit law to kis hir cumlie hands,
And scho againe vith sembelance deuyne
hir freindlie freindchipe to tham recowmands.
So Scho departs vith Medor from thais lands,
Ascending vp the hautie great montaine,
Quhilk to thois pastorall parts approtching stands,
And dois deuyd the famus france from spaine:
for thay consult vithin thair amorus braine
In Valence Or In Barcelone to byd,
Quhill thay the portage of sum schip mycht gaine,
Quhilk did derectlie to the Orient gyd.
Thay pass the hicht, syn on the vther syd
Beneth the mont thay spy the seis appeir.
Alongs the riuage lofullie thay ryd,
Bot 3it or thay to Barcelone cam neir,
Ane furius foie did Interchainge thair cheir,
Quho on the grawell As ane sow did ly;
And lyk ane Mastiu1 Or Malicious Beir
He raidgeit on thir luifers that cam by.
