SCOTIA jam longum in luctu & squalore jac••∣bat
Et prope Cimmeriis mersa fuit tenebris
Regis vt aduentum sparsit praenuncia fam••
Luctus{que} & squalor desiit, & tenebrae.
Adventus si famatui, REX magne, remouit
Luctum, squalorem dispulit & tenebras:
Quantam laetitiam tua nunc praesentia, quantam
Lucem SCOTIGENIS lautitiam{que} feret
Ne posthac luctus, squalor, redeantve tenebrae,
Siderio nobis ore perennè mica.
Quod sifatanegant, sistat sententia menti,
Nobile SAXONIDÛM moxremeare solum:

Fac per te vigeat Pietas sincera, fidesque,
Relligio & puras intemerata manus.
Per te, extincta diu, coelis ASTRAEA relictis,
Invisat terras, almaque Pax niteat.
Per te florescant Musae, vitium omne facessat,
Exulet & Musis invida Barbaries.
Fac jus, fas, virtus firmentur; denique quicquid
Luctu, squalore, & vindicat à tenebris.
Sed quid Te moneo, patriae cui pellere luctum,
Squalorem, tenebras vnica cura subit?
