 72 POETRY. Fra they persavit Dame Phæbus los hir licht Lyk diamonds with cristall perls mixit, They did discend to schyne this nymph a nexit; 5 Upon her shoulders twinkling everie on, Which to depaint it wald be owre prolixit, How they in ordour glister on hir gown. V. Gif she had been into the dayis auld, When Jupiter the shape of bulls did tak, Befoir Europe when he his feet did fauld, While she throw courage clam upon his bad Sum greater mayek, I wat, he had gart ma Hir to have stolin be his slichtis quent; For to have past abone the zodiak, As quein, and goddes of the firmament. VI. With golden schours, as he did Clemene, He wald this virgine furteously desave Bot I houp in the goddes Hemene, Which to hir brother so happie fortoun ga That she shall be exaltit, by the laif, Baith for hir bewtie, and hir noble bluid. And of myself ane servand she sall haif Unto I die: and so I do conclude.
