Unthrift, sweirnes, falset, povertie, and stryfe
Pat polacey in dainger of hir lyfe.

The Dreme (1528)

Ere I depart this natioun, I shall mak Reformatioun!

To colliers, carters, and to cooks,
To Jock and Tom my rhyme shall be directed.

And to the Devill of hell condemne this mein3e;
For quhy sic reformatioune, as I weine
Into Scotland was never hard nor seine.

Heir sall Wantones ga spy them and cum agane to the king
