John Stewart of Baldynneis
ca. 1550 - 1605


Dull dolor dalie dois delyt destroy,
Will wantith wit waist worn with wickit wo,
Cair cankert causith confortles convoy,
Seveir sad sorrow scharplie schoris so,

My myrthles mynd may mervell monie mo;
Promp peirles proper plesand perll preclair,
Fair fremmit freind, firm fellest frownyng fo,
Ryche rubie rycht renownit royall rair,

Send succor soone so suadge sall sourest sair,
Grant grivous gronyng gratious guerdon guid,
For favor flowing from fresche faces fair
Restoris rychtlie restles rancor ruid,

Bot beutie breding bittir boudin baill
Dois dalie deedlie dwynyng dartis daill.
