Quhat ane art thow, sa terribill to vew ? Evin deid, that kend in erd is weill anew. Quhy sa deformit, with hollow eis in heid ? To schaw men how and quharof thai ar maid. Thir clattering banis, quhat do thai signife ? Mirrores to men, to schaw that thai man de. This fedderit flane, thow beris in thi left fist ? Schawis that na staitt my power can resist. This round ball quhat, that is in thi rycht hande ? Schawis that the warld Is all at my commande Onder thi feitt quhat representis this grene ? As ye ar now, It schawis sa haif I bene Thairfoir recompt youre race ye that heir be And mende youre miss, for nain sall eschaip me.
