Of the same James, quhen he had plesett him

O GRACIOUS Princes, guid and fair !
Do Weill to James ȝour Wardraipair ;
Quhais faithfull bruder maist freind I am :
He is na Dog ; he is a Lam.

Thocht I in ballet did with him bourde,
In malice spaik I newir ane woord,
Bot all, my Dame, to do ȝou gam :
He is na Dog ; he is a Lam.

Ȝour Hienes can nocht gett ane meter,
To keip your wardrope, nor discreter,
To rule ȝour robbis, and dress the sam :
He is na Dog ; he is a Lam.

The wyff, that he had in his innys,
That with the taingis wald brack his schinnis,
I wald scho drownit war in a dam :
He is na Dog ; he is a Lam.

The wyff that wald him kuckald mak,
I wald scho war, bayth syd and bak,
Weill batteret with ane barrow-tram :
He is na Dog ; he is ane Lam.

He hes sa weill doin me obey
In-till all thing, thairfoir I pray
That newir dolour mak him dram :
He is na Dog ; he is a Lam.

Quod Dumbar, of the same James quhen he had plesett him.
