Like ane wi' thirstie appetite
 Quha swalloweth orange pulp,
Wes hearde a huggle an a bite,
 A swallow an a gulp.

Ye kynge hes lap frae aff hiz steid,
 Outbrayde^[1] hiz trenchant brande;
"Quha on my packe of hondes doth feed,
 Maun deye benead thilke hande."

Sae sed, sae dune: ye stonderes^[2] hearde
 Fou many a mickle^[3] stroke,
Sowns^[4] lyke ye flappynge of a birde,
 A struggle an a choke.

Owte of ye cave scarce fette^[5] they ytte,
 Wi pow^[6] an push and hau^[7]—
Whereof Y've drawne a littel bytte,
 Bot durst not draw ytte au.^[8]
