IC XC NIKA
Suld I tharfor have blame,
Quahay can do better, say furth on Goddis Name.
I schrink not anys, correkkit for to be
With ony wycht, groundit on charite,
And glaidlie wald I baith inquire and lere,
And to ilk cunnand wicht la to mine ere ;
Bot laith me war, but uther offence or crime,
Ane bruitell body sul intertrik my ryme.
