Makand thame equale with the hevynnys hie :

And foueran vertu, fpred fa far onbred is,
Eftir innumerabill fa feill douchty dedis,

And thame vpheis full hie abufe the fky.

Eftir thy fpowfis name clepe thou fall.

Of Troy, that tyme quhen it in fiambys brynt,

Tharin thou gar thame foyn be brocht in hy,

30 Thai fal return haymwart agane ilkane.
