Quhat pleissis best thyne excellence //On me to lay 10
And lat me nocht declyne at all //In tyme of greif

Help me to beir my burding lord // ffor I am waik
And latt my strenth and chairge accord // ffor thy names saik
Assist me with thyne haly spreit // That I may still 15
With steidfast hairt and howp repleit // Abyid thy will
At leist sum pairt I the beseik // To swaige my pane
As thow art luving kynd and meik // Thy wreth refrane
Into thy lustice and lugement // Deill nocht with me
