Worschippe, ye that loveris bene this May,
For of your blisse the kalendis are begonne,
And sing with us, “away, winter, away!
Cum, somer, cum, the suete sesoun and sonne!”

— James I of Scotland

Since word is thrall, and thought is free,
Keep well thy tongue, I counsel thee.

The bird, the beste, the fisch eke in the see,
They lyve in fredome, everich in his kind,
And I a man, and lakkith libertee.

The bird, the best, the fisch eke in the see,
They live in fredome, everich in his kynd.
And I a man, and lakkith libertee.

Beautee eneuch to mak a world to dote.

So ferr I fallyng into lufis dance,
That sodeynly my wit, my contenance,
My hert, my will, my nature and my mynd,
Was changit clene ryght in anothir kynd.
