Evidently referring to the same image of the Holy Child that

Dempster (Tanner, and Hardy, II. 225) as having written
lives of Scottish saints.

The Latin is here in black, the French in red.
A phebo phebe lumen capit a sapiente
Insipiens sensum quo quasi luce micat.
Nil aliud nisi se ualet ardens enna cremare
Sic se non alios inuidus igne coquit.
La fame prent clarte del soleil
E li nient sage aprent sen del sage
Enna ne put rien arder for li meimes
Ne li enuius ne put a nul nure for a sei.
Ends: Stratus humi non surgit item dum poplite flexo
Portat honus graue quo precipitatur equus
Sic homo qui magna uiciorum mole grauatur
Non nisi deposita mole leuare potest.
Le cheual ki portet grant fes si il chet il ne put mie
Bien leuer deskes le fes seit oste (unfinished)
