Freedom

More quotes by John Barbour

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.

Luff is off sa mekill mycht,
That it all paynys makis lych.

He maid thaim na gud fest perfay
And nocht-forthi yneuch had thai.

A! Fredome is a noble thing!
Fredome mays man to haiff liking.
Fredome all solace to man giffis,
He levys at es that frely levys!
