 28 THE CHERRIE LIV. That (quoth Experience) is true, Will flatter'd him when first he flew, Will set him in a low; Will was his counsel and convoy, To borrow frae the blinded boy Baith quiver, wings and bow: Wherewith before he 'say'd to shoot, He'd neither yield to youth; Nor yet had need of any fruit To quench his deadly drouth ; Which pines him, and dwines him To death I wat not how: If Will then, did ill then, Himsell remembers now. LV. For I Experience was there, (Like as I use to be all where) What time he wyted Will, To be the ground of all his grief; As I myself can be a prief, And witness thereuntil; There are nae bounds but I have been Nor hidlings from me hid Nor secret things but I have seen, That he, or ony did : Therefore now, nae mair now, Let him think to conceal't: For why now, even I now, Am debt bound to reveal't.
