Fyrst I protest, beaw schirris, by ?our leif
Beis weill avisit my wark or ?he reprief;
Consider it warly, reid oftar than anys,
Weill at a blenk sle poetry nocht tayn is.

Bk. 1, prologue, line 105.Gavin Douglas

Na he that ay has levyt fre
May nocht knaw weill the propyrte
The angyr na the wrechyt dome
That is couplyt to foule thyrldome,
Bot gyff he had assayit it.
Than all perquer he suld it wyt,
And suld think fredome mar to prys
Than all the gold in warld that is.John Barbour
Than upon him scho kest up baith hir Ene,
And with ane blenk it come into his thocht,
That he sumtime hir face befoir had sene.
Bot scho was in sic plye he knew hir nocht,
Yit than hir luik into his mynd it brocht
The sweit visage and amorous blenking
Of fair Cresseid sumtyme his awin darling.Robert Henryson
Nocht is your fairnes bot ane faiding flour,
Nocht is your famous laud and hie honour
Bot wind Inflat in uther mennis eiris.Robert Henryson
The man that will nocht quhen he may
Sall haif nocht quhen he wald.Robert Henryson
Reid spoke of future President Barack Obama in 2008 describing him as a, "light-skinned' African American 'with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one." Reid apologized for these remarks in January 2010 when they were publicized.
