5 “And some fell on rocky bits, whaur it faund little mool; and at ance it brairdit, for that the mool was jimp.
“And he on the staney bit sawn, is he wha hears the word, and blythely receives it;
“And it cam aboot as he sawed, some was strinklʼt aside the fit‐road; and the burdies cam and devoorʼt it.
“And whan the sun raise heigh, it was aʼ birslʼt up; and for that it had nae rute, it dwined awa.
“And thir on the rock are they wha, whan they hear, wiʼ joy welcome the word; but they hae nae rute — wha believe for a wee, and in time oʼ trial faʼ away.
“And ither fell on the rock; and as sune as it brairdit it dwined awa; for it wanted moisture.
