SCOTIA. PHωTIA. POETA.

NYmpharum Musam meditemur, Scotia pernox Quam crepera, clara Phωtia luce canat.
Scot.
Salve lucis honos, noctis fuga, Lucide Paean, Tereduce è tenebris turba Scoteina redux. Phoebus & accedens & cedens duplicat vmbras: Immineat capiti, corporis vmbra fugit. Tu 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 atque 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 nobis, IACOBE, recessu Et reditu duplex contigit vmbra tuo. Pallida moeroris te decedente premebat, Grataque laetitiae te redeunte redit. Redditus his tandem terris, a vertice vtram{que} Vmbram, tristitiae laetitiaeque, fugas. Illa quidem cum mole sua disparuit, ista Corripuit tremulammole manente fugam. Laetitiae molem immanem quo marte feremus? (In se magna suo pondere lapsa ruunt) Maxime Rex Regum, fateor, medicabilis ista, Hei mihi, debilitas est nimis arte tua: Discessu properas gratam attenuare secundo Molem istam, Scotis sic redit vmbra duplex, Laetitiae, luctusque: ist haec cum mole redibit, Vmbraque laetitiae sola superstes erit. Sed satis vmbrarum, lucent jam spicula Phoebi Aurea, luminibus spicula missa tuis.

Salve lucis bonos, nectis fuga, lucide Paean, Tereduce è tenebris turba SCOTEINA redux.
Poê.
SCOTIA sic. Vos, quae respondit Phωtia, Musae Dicite Edinaeae, me mea vena fugit.
Phωt.
Ingredere O soboles supremi clara onantis; Phωteina hunc niveum pinge caterua diem. Phoebus & accedens & cedens floribus almis Alternat grata poma sapora vice. Desuper illuxit: fervens inanduit aestas, AEstatem, Antumnum, Ver, JACOBE, facis: Carpere decedens maturae poma dedisti Pacis: habe regnis altera, Mome, tuis. Ciuilis scissa cessit discordia pallâ, Discessu facta est Insula Firmatuo. Sed fimul increpuit reditus praenuacia vestri Fama, redit facies veris aperta simul. Ver erit aeternum Scotorum: currite Parcae Dixerunt fusis aurea saecla suis. Cominùs illuces; facie praesentis inardet; AEstuat in vultu patria fixa patris Lumine inexpleto. nec se mortalia demens Augusta adspectans or a videre putat. Patria sub Geminis generosum amplexa Leonem Nunc tibi pro Maio mense IACOBUS eat. Ingredere, O soboles supremi clara Tonantis; Phωteina hunc niveum pinge caterva diem.
