TO HIS MAIESTIE THE DAY OF HIS CORONATION VITH LAURELL.

O Laureat king be Influence celest,
Renount vith Iowe supreme abowe the best,
Long may the verdeur of thy vertew spring
In ȝeiris ȝing quhilk hes so hich Increst.
The Croune Imperiale be thy Birth possest
Maks manifest that Thow dois rychtlie ring,
Bot ȝit this vther secund Croune dois bring
Moir hich triumphe to thy Precelling gloir,
Deseruing now ane Doubill croune And moir.
