As Adam was the first of men, whence all beginning tak:
So Adamson was president, and first man in this Act.
The Theses Fair-lie did defend, which thogh they lies contein;
Yet were fair lies, & he the same right fairlie did maintein.
The feild first entred Master Sands, and there he made me see
That not all Sands are barren Sands; but that some fertile bee:
Then Master Young most subtilie the Theses did impugne,
And kythed old in Aristotle, although his name bee Young.
To him succeded Master Reid, who, thogh reid be his name,
Neids neither for his disput blush, nor of his speach think shame
Last entred Master King the Lists, and dispute like a King,
How Reason reigning as a Queene shuld anger vnder-bring.
To their deserved praise haue I, thus playd vpon their names:
And wil's their Colledge hence be cal'd the Colledge of KING IAMES.
