Luff is off sa mekill mycht,

Notes from Wikiquote
Bk. 2, line 523; p. 80.
Freedom all solace to man gives:
He lives at ease that freely lives.
Thai eyt it with full gud will
That soucht na nother sals thar-till
Bot appetyt.
Na thar may na man fyr sa covyr
Than low or rek sall it discovyr.
He maid thaim na gud fest perfay
And nocht-forthi yneuch had thai.
