 AND THE SLAE. 35 LXVIII Which when Experience perceiv'd, Quoth he, remember gif we rav'd, As Will alleg'd of late : When that he sware, he naething saw In age, but anger slack and slaw, And canker'd of conceit; Ye could not luck, as he alleg'd, Who all opinions speir'd; He was so frak and fiery edg'd, He thought us four but fear'd. Who panses what chances, Quoth he, no worship wins, To some best, shall come best, Wha hap well, rap well rins. LXIX Yet (quoth Experience) behald, For all the tales that he hath tald, How he himself behaves. Because Despair could not come speed, Lo here he hings all but the head, And in a widdie waves ; Gif you be sure ance, you may see, To men that with them mells, Gif they had hurt or helped thee, Consider by themselves Then chuse thee to use thee By us, or sic as yon ; Say soon now, have done now, Mak either aff or on.
