127	1	My heid did #ak #ester nicht,
	2	This day to mak that I na micht.
	3	So sair the magryme dois me men#ie,
	4	Perseing my brow as ony gan#ie,
	5	That scant I luik may on the licht.
	6	And now, schir, laitlie eftir mes
	7	To dyt thocht I begowthe to dres,
	8	The sentence lay full evill till find,
	9	Vnsleipit in my heid behind,
	10	Dullit in dulnes and distres.
	11	Full oft at morrow I wpryse,
	12	Quhen that my curage sleipeing lyis.
	13	For mirth, for menstrallie and play,
	14	For din nor danceing nor deray,
	15	It will not walkin me no wise.
