THE TWA CUMMERIS.

Your counsale, Cummer, is gud, quoth scho,
All is to tene him that I do;
In bed he is nocht wirth a bene:
Fill fow the glass, and drynk me to:
This lang Lentren makis me lene. 25

Off wyne, out of ane choppyne stowp,
Thay drank twa quartis, sowp and sowp;
Off drowth sic excefss did thame constrene;
Be than to mend thay had gud howp:
That Lentren suld nocht mak thame lene.30
