“That nicht he sleipit never ane wink,
Bot still did on the Ladie think.”

The Historie of ane Nobil and Wailyeand Squyer, William Meldrum (1550), line 899

“Quhowbeit that divers devote cunnyng Clerkis
In Latyne toung hes wryttin syndrie bukis,
Our unlernit knawis lytill of thare werkis,
More than thay do the rauyng of the Rukis.
Quharefore to Colyearis, Cairtaris, & to Cukis,
To Jok and Thome, my Ryme sall be diractit,
With cunnyng men quhowbeit it wylbe lactit.”

The Dreme (c. 1528), line 965

“But in the glances of his eye,
A penetrating, keen, and sly
Expression found its home;
The flash of that satiric rage,
Which, bursting on the early stage,
Branded the vices of the age,
And broke the keys of Rome.
* * *
Still is thy name in high account,
And still thy verse has charms,
Sir David Lindesay of the Mount,
Lord Lion King-at-arms!”

Att nonne quhen it doith schyne most brycht,

Thus maye ye Juge, in to your thocht,
Gyfe Babilone be heych, or nocht.”
