Quhat is this Lyfe bot Ane Straucht Way to Deid?

Quhat is this lyfe bot ane straucht way to deid?
Quhilk hes a tyme to pas and nane to duell;
A slyding quheill us lent to seik remeid,
A fre chois gevin to paradice or hell,
A pray to deid, quhome vane is to repell;
A schoirt torment for infineit glaidnes -
Als schoirt ane joy for lestand hevynes.

WILLIAM DUNBAR [1500-13?]
