The Squyeris Adew (1536) - David Lyndsay

Fair weill, ye lemant[426] lampis of lustines[427]
Of fair Scotland, adew my Ladies all!
During my youth with ardent besines,
Ye knaw how I was in your service thrall.
Ten thowsand times adew above thame all
Sterne[428] of Stratherne, my Ladie Soverane!
For quhome I sched my blud with mekill[429] pane.
Yit wald my Ladie luke at evin and morrow[430]
On my legend, at length scho wald not mis
How for hir saik I sufferit mekill sorrow.
Yit give[431] I micht at this time get my wis[432],
Of hir sweit mouth, deir God, I had ane kis.
I wis in vane, allace we will dissever,
I say na mair, Sweit hart, adew for ever!
