	2	Curro quando sum vocatus.
	3	Gottin with sum incuby
	4	Or with sum freir infatuatus,
	5	In faith I can nought tell redly
	6	Vnde aut vbi fui natus.
	7	Bot in treuth I trow trewly
	8	Quod sum dyabolus incarnatus.
	9	Cum nichill sit cercius morte
	10	We mon all de, that is done.
	11	Nescimus qunado vel qua sorte
	12	Na blind Allane wait of the mone.
	13	Ego pacior in pectore,

	17	Nunc condo testamentum meum.
	18	I leiff my saull for euirmare,
	19	Per omnipotentem deum,

	21	Semper ibi ad remanendum
	22	Quhill domisday, without disseuer,
	23	Bonum vinum ad bibendum
	24	With sueit Cuthbert that luffit me neuir.
	25	Ipse est dulcis ad amandum.
	26	He wald oft ban me in his breith,
	27	Det michi modo ad potandum,
	28	And I forgif him laith and wraith,
90	29	Quia in cellario cum ceruisia
	30	I had lever lye, baith air and lait,
	31	Nudus solus in camesia
	32	Na in my lordis bed of stait.

	34	Of varldis gud I bad na mair.
	35	Corpus meum ebriosum

	38	Vt ibi sepeliri queam,
	39	Quhar drink and draff may ilka day
	40	Be cassyne super faciem meam.
	41	I leif my hert that neuir wes sicir
	42	Sed semper variabile,
	43	That neuir mare wald flow nor flicir
	44	Consorti meo Iacobe.
	45	Thought I wald bynd it with a wicir
	46	Verum deum renui.
	47	Bot and I hecht to teme a bicker
	48	Hoc pactum semper tenui.
	49	Syne leif I the best aucht I bocht
	50	(Quod est Latinum propter caupe)
	51	To hede of kyn; bot I wait nought
	52	Quis est ille, than I schew my scawpe.
	53	I callit my lord my heid, but hiddill,
	54	Sed nulli alii hoc dixerunt.
	55	We weir als sib as seue and riddill,
	56	In vna silua que creuerunt.
91	57	Omnia mea solacia
	58	(Thai wer bot lesingis, all and ane)

	63	Qui nunquam fabricat mendatia
	64	Bot quhen the holyne growis grene.
	65	My fen#eing and my fals wynyng
	66	Relinquo falsis fratibus,
	67	For that is Goddis awne bidding:
	68	Dispersit, dedit pauperibus.
	69	For menis saulis thai say thai sing,
	70	Mencientes pro numeribus.
	71	Now God gif thaim ane euill ending
	72	Pro suis prauis operibus.
	73	To Iok Fule my foly fre

	75	In faith I am mair fule than he,
	76	Licet ostendit bonum vultum.
	77	Of corne and catall, gold and fe
	78	Ipse habet walde multum,
	79	And #it he bleris my lordis e
	80	Fingendo eum fore stultum.
	81	To master Iohne Clerk syne
	82	Do et lego intime
	83	Goddis malisone and myne.

	85	War I a dog and he a swyne
	86	Multi mirantur super me,
	87	Bot I suld ger that lurdane quhryne
