O hie honour, sweit hevinlie flour degest,

Gem verteous, maist precious, gudliest.

For hie renoun thow art guerdoun conding,

Of worschip kend the glorious end and rest,

But quhome in richt na worthie wicht may lest.

Thy greit puissance may maist avance all thing,

And poverall to mekill availl sone bring.

I the require sen thow but peir art best,

That efter this in thy hie blis we ring.

(Gawain Douglas: The Palace of Honour. ab. 1500.)
