93	1	I seik aboute this warld onstable
	2	To find a sentence conveniable,
	3	Bot I can not in all my witt
	4	Sa trew a sentence find of it,
	5	As say it is dissavable.
	6	For #istirday I did declair
	7	How that the sasoun soft and fair
	8	Come in als fresche as pacok feddir.
	9	This day it stangis lyke ane eddir,
	10	Concluding all in my contrair.
	11	#istirday fair wp sprang the flowris,
	12	This day thai ar all slane with schouris;
	13	And foulis in forrest that sang cleir
	14	Now walkis with ane drerie cheir – 
	15	Full caild ar bayth thair beddis and bowris.
	16	So nixt to symmer wyntir bene,
	17	Noxt eftir confort cairis kene,
	18	Nixt dirk mydnycht the myrthfull morrow,
	19	Nixt eftir ioy ay cwmis sorrow:
	20	So is this warld and ay hes bene.
