7 “And some fell whaur thorns had been; and up cam the thorns, and smoored it.
“And he sawn amang the thorns, this is he wha hears the word, and than the cark oʼ the warlʼ, and the glamor oʼ riches, smoor the word, and it bears nae frute.
“And whan the sun raise heigh, it birslʼt up; and, for that it had nae rute, it dwined awa.
“And some fell on the gude grunʼ, and brocht forth frute — this a hunner, that saxty, and the ither thretty.
“And ither fell amang the thorns; and the thorns cam up, and smoored it, and it brocht forth naething.
“And ither fell amang the thorns; and, growin up wiʼt, the thorns smoorʼd it.
