Lyk as ane schaddow in ane glaft

Think thocht thy bodye ware of braft
Quod tu in cinerem reuerteris
Worthye Hector and Hercules

Alexander of grit nobilnes

Hes playit pair pairtis / and all are gone
At will of god that all thing steiris
Think man exceptioun pair is none
Sed tu in cinerem reuerteris
Thocht now thow be maist glaid of cheir
