TO PERTH, ANENT TWO of her Sons, her two Suns, Mr. Henrie Anderson, and Mr. Henrie Adamson, his Nephew.
TWo Henries, like two Suns, upon thee rose,The Uncle, and the Nephew, and did closeThe one à summer, th'other a winter day,Nor longer could on our Horizon stay.With home-bred beames the one on thee did shine,Th'other with rayes brought from the coast Lavine.But herein These excell fair Phoebes brother,He and his beames do rise, and set together;Their rayes shine most, themselves when under earth,And shall perpetuall splendor give to Perth.So be it ay, upon thee, noble Town,May many such suns rise, & so go down.
I. A.
