The Poems of Alexander Montgomerie | ||
IV. TO M. DAUID DRUMMOND.
As curious Dido Ænee did demand,To vnderstand vha wrakt his toun, and hou
Him self got throu and come to Lybia land;
To vhom fra hand his body he did bou:
92
He said, if thou, O Quene, wald knau the cace
Of Troy, alace! it garis my body grou,
To tell it nou, so far to our disgrace;
Hou, in short space, that som tym peirles place,
Before my face, in furious flammis did burne;
Compeld to murne, and than to tak the chace,
I ran this race, bot nevir to returne:
Sa thou, lyk Dido, Maister Dauid Drummond,
Hes me to ansueir, by thy sonet, summond.
