Montgomerie, Alexander: Inquitie on eirth is so increst - ZaunköniG - 03.01.2011
Alexander Montgomerie
ca. 1545 - 1610
Inquitie on eirth is so increst,
All flesh bot few with falset is dafyld,
Givin ou'r of God, with gredynes beguyld
So that the puir, but pitie, ar opprest.
God in his justice dou na mair digest
Sik sinfull swyn with symonie defyld
But must revenge, thair vyces ar so vyld,
And pour doun plagues of famin, sword and pest.
Aryse O Lord, delyver from the lave
Thy faithfull flock befor that it infect!
Thou ses how Satan sharps for to dissave,
If it were able, even thyn awin elect.
Sen conscience, love and cheritie all laiks,
Lord, short the season for the chosens saiks.
