Anagammata Regia: Regi.

Iacobvs Stvart: Iusta Scrutabo.

Iames Stvart: A iust Master.
For A iust Master haue I labour'd long:
To A iust Master haue I vow'd my best:
By A iust Master should I take no wrong:
With A iust Master would my life be blest.
In A iust Master are all Vertues met:
From A iust Master flowes aboundant grace:
But, A iust Master is so hard to get,
That A iust Master seems of Phœnix race:
Yet, A iust Master haue foundin fine.
Of A iust Master if you question This,
Whom A iust Master I so iust define;
My Lie e Iames Stvart A iust Master is.
And A iust Master could my Work deserue,
Such A iust Master Would I iustly serue.
Voy Sire Saluste.
