IN effusissima hâc omnis aetatis sexus, & ordi∣num gratulatione (AUGUSTme, INVICTme MONARCHA) Musasne dias tuas nutrices in∣fami silentio obmuescere?

Vacuos Numini sistere se nefas. Quo mu∣nere SACRATmam tuam MAIESTtem af∣fluentissimam jugis munificentiae scaturiginem colamus? Anti∣cyram ablegandum sentias, qui guttulâ Oceanum auctare, faculâ Soli praelucere conetur. Oceanus tamen patulo sinu emissitios suos rivulos undique in se refluentes accipit. Quin ad tuam quoque Augustissimam Majestatem, vnicam Musarum almam parentem, benignistimam fautricem, acerrimam promoticem, quicquid pec∣toribus nostris Castalii humoris infudisti, gratâ reciprocatione re∣dundare debeat.

Si enim, monitu exactissimi munificentiae finitoris, Munera ac∣cipientium ingentis, & studiis prudenter accommodanda sunt, Quid Il∣lustrissimae tuae Majestati, peritissimae Carminum Atifici, imò cō∣mentitio illo Apolline multò Vatibus praesentiori Deo, Carmini∣bus gratius, acceptius, opportuniusve offerre Philomusi queant?

Haec itaque, REX Ter-maxime, ratissimum pictatis, pruden∣tiae, mansuetudinis, & felicitatis exemplar, haec, inquam, Poëmatia quae Serenissimae tuae Majestati Academia EDINBURGENA, de∣votissimi sui obsequi, flammatissimi studii, humillin ae veneratio∣nis pignora exhibet, placidissimo illo tuo aspectu dignare▪ quo tot millium corda hodierno die laetitiâ incredibili, indelebili perfu∣disti. Quodque unicùm tenuitai nostrae praestabile officium su∣perest, DEUM Opt. Max. obstinatissimis precibus fatigabimus, Sacram tuam Majestatem fidissimo providentiae suae munimine cin∣gat, mitissimâ favoris umbrâ protegat, omnia vota, & incoepta tua cumulatissimè secundet, clarissimisque Regnorum coronis ul∣timam, auctissimam, immarcessibilem sempiternae gloriae (Ne∣storeos annos supergresso) in coelis Coronam accumulet.
