Dedicated to that worthy and valiant Souldier, Captain James Scot,
a Brigadier in his Majesties most Honourable Life-guard, son to Walter Scot of Tushilaw, who was son to Robert Scot of Tushilaw, who was son to Sir Walter Scot of Tushilaw, who was son to Robert Scot of Tushilaw, who was son to Adam Scot of Tushilaw.
Whose former Genealogie is already spoken,The Fable of the Golden Fleece began,
33
For he that hath great store of VVoolly Fleeces,
May when he pleases, have store of Golden Pieces;
Honest James Scot of Sheils-wood,
Whose like there is not many,
Whose love and piety doth feed and help so many;
It is no doubt, but these good deeds of his,
Will help to lift his Soul to endless bless.
Of his Genealogie I will speak no more,
Because his Brother Grass-yards is set down before;
I hope Jasons Fleece shall never from him flee,
Because he is inclin'd to Hospitality.
