MACARONIC
Nil mihi rescribus at aman ipse veneFor your kitle Latine, in conscience I dinna kent bene,
Sed video right mikle, quo tendit ad meum honorem;
Sic silvae saltantis when cantylie I play before 'em
On my landart lyra—Castalides omnia ambitious
Videre this ferly new—weel be't sae, benignus Patricus,
Accipio for granted tu cogitas quid thou hast dictus,
And blythsum audire my pow is cum laurel amictus.
Ago tibi gratias. When ye come to Senex Fumosus,
Spero to se ye where a botle of the best shall rejoyce us.
Allanus Ramisaeus.
Edr., June 11, 1722.
