Stewart of Baldynneis, John: As dryest dust - winddrift in drouthie day - ZaunköniG - 03.01.2011 John Stewart of Baldynneis ca. 1550 - 1605 As dryest dust - winddrift in drouthie day - Quhyls lychts on lords and ladies of renoune, Quhyls on thair face and quhyls on thair array And quhyls upon ane kingis statlie croune; Yit as it cums sum ay are bussie boune To cleinge it thence, so that it finds no rest Quhill to the erth it be againe snipt doune: So mortal men, quho dois thair mynd molest To be in gloir coequall with the best, Thocht for ane space thay volt with waltring wind, Doune to the ground thay sall againe be drest, For few aloft may fortouns firmtie find. Bot ay the swyfter and moir hich thay brall, Moir low and suddance cums thair feirfull fall. |
