If gentle blude ingendrit be by baggis.

Then culd I ges vho wer a gentle Jhone;

If he be wysest, with the world that waggis,

Jit culd I wish jou to a wittie one;

If he be all, vha thinks his nichtbours none,

Then surely I suld shau jou vho wer all;

If he be Cæsar, vho doth so suppone,

Then I conjecture vhom I Cæsar call;

If he be sure, vho sueirs and sayis he sall,

Then certainly I wot weill vho wer sure;

If he be firme, vho neuer feirs to fall,

I doubt not then vhose dayis suld lang indure;

Sed quæritur, vhat lau he leivis at leist?

He wald not preich; he can not be a preist.
