More quotes by John Barbour

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.

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!
