To the Author.
Thy
sugred wearses, and thy sacred songe
Shall make thy neame (O Gordon) glorius
Thou make forgottin Bruce obscurd so longe
Reuieud to ryise againe victorious
Thou crownis him with a laurell in thy storie
Thou greaces him, and be augments thy Glorie.

Thou crownis him with a laurell in thy storie
Thou greaces him, and be augments thy Glorie.
Thy greaue heroik Muse disdanis to treat
Of basse and seruill loue, or fond afectione
But of a Kingdome, and a Contries staet
Of naturs cheifest worth, and hir perfectione
Of Fortuns Champione, whom the world renounis
For conquering Kingdoms, cities, touris, and tounes.

For conquering Kingdoms, cities, touris, and tounes.
Those are the first fruets of thy rair ingine
The braue beginning of a virtous mind
Presaging plaintie what thou'l prooue in fine
Whose lamp skarsse fird doth many lights outshine
Long may thou lieue whose lins braue Bruce adorne
And let Bruce Ghost be glaid that thow was borne.
