 AND THE SLAE. 49 XCVI. Then said they all with ane consent, What he concludes we are content of His bidding to obey; He hath authoritie to use, Then take his choice whom he will chuse, And langer not delay : Then Reason raise and was rejoyc'd; Quoth he, myne hearts cum hither, I hope this pley may be compos'd, That we may gang together ; To all now I sall now His proper place assign, That they heir sall say heir, They think nane uther thing. XCVII Come on, quoth he, companion, Skill Ye understand baith gude and ill, In physick ye are fyne, Be mediciner to the man, And schaw sic cunning as ye can, To put him out of pyne ; First gaird the grund of all his grief, What sickness ye suspect, Syne look what laiks for his relief, Or further he infeck. Comfort him, exhort him, Give him your gude advice, And panice not, nor skance not, The perril nor the price.
