T'was a fortnight past when I betook myself to bed, whenst I bethought "'Tis good to betide myself beddie-bye before break of day." Saint SWITHENS Day, as Bartholomew would have it. Dunderpate no, nor a Dumbledore, I sallied forth from my Simpsoning toward a ravenlike reminiscence of my own LeNore, when I heard a knock on the door.

WHOMST'D'VE?, cried I. Whomst'd've knocked on my hovel door? FIE! cried I. FIE on all whores whomst'd've knocked at my hovel dore. Deed done, I returned to my volume of D. Awdrey Gore.

Complete cringe.
This is bettor than engish.
"O hicht of hicht, and licht of licht maist cleir,
Prince without peir, Chryst Jesu, Keeng of micht,
Sone schyning bricht abufe Satrunus spheir,
Quhose veesage heirfor us wox dim of licht,
The wey to beirus eternal licht.

Thy bittir passion, thy pyne and thy torment
In us nou prent with pyne and sic punition,
That exersition aff deidis penitent
In us be lent with teiris of contrition,
Quhill thou consent, thou gif us thy remission.

For weil war me the mirreit of thy woundis,
That passis the boundis of our iniquitie
With mercy, this warld in fyn that dround is,
Fro hellis houndis consere our sawlis free,
Quhen that thou sound thy awful horne on hie.

Redemptor gud, resssaif in paradice
Thy merchandyce that thou bocht on the rude;
Latt not the wude, infernall cockatrice
Fra the us tyse, sweit Jesu, myld of mude,
For the grit pryce and vertew of thy blude.

Obedient Sone thou wes to the deid,
And all in reid for us wes revin and rent,
Schamit and schent with thorny croun on heid,
Rute of remeid, gife us, fra hyne we went,
Thy blissit steid abufe the firmament."
