Brother Wantonness, what thinks thou? Yon are the Three Estates I trow Gangand backwart. - David Lyndsay

Quhowbeit that divers devote cunnyng Clerkis
In Latyne toung hes wryttin syndrie bukis,
Our unlernit knawis lytill of thare werkis,
More than thay do the rauyng of the Rukis.
Quharefore to Colyearis, Cairtaris, & to Cukis,
To Jok and Thome, my Ryme sall be diractit,
With cunnyng men quhowbeit it wylbe lactit.

That nicht he sleipit never ane wink,
Bot still did on the Ladie think.
