HIS MAIESTIES WELCOME at the Palace of Dalketh, the xi day of Iunij.

DALKETHENSIS PHILOMELA.

QVum Cedrus, quum celsatibi, REX magne, Cupressus Obsequij in signum capita inclinare superba Laetentur, pedibus{que} comas substernere sacris; Lentane submissam renuent Viburna salutem Dicere, & ad sacras DOMINI se advolvere plantas; Et tibi quum dicant REGI tua magna salutem Oppida, non magnum tua parvula villa salutet? Villula, quae Regum quondam secessus amoenus, Pectora quum gravibus voluere remittere curis. Huc laxa invitant Pallatia, culta Napaeis Prata meis, geminâ gaudentes Naiades Escâ; Invitant{que} meae laeta ad pomoeria sylvae Te Dryades: licet hîc capiti circundare Myrtum, Sacra{que} Phaeboeâ tua cingere tempora Lauro. Hîc legere est cerasos, omnes & carperefructus, Quos suavi Pomona sinu produxerit vsquam.

Sed tibi prima sacras implebat Daulias aures, Garrula quindenos repetens Luscinia cantus: Qualia non Orpheus pul••ando pollice nervos, Nec Linus ipse ciet dulci modulamina voce. Omnis in exiguo contracta est Musica gyro, Dulcisonam Philomela cavo dum gutture vocem Producit longo tractu; variatur & inde Couciso; flexo distinguitur, inde retorto Ingeminat: nunc moesta gemens secum ore rotundo Murmurat; atque gravi, summo, medioque & acute

Praedulci Philomela sono totum aëra replet. His tua te Vallis reducem Kethea salutat Cantibus; atque suo REGI bona cuncta precatur, Quae dare vel Virtus queat aut Natura, perennes Vtfaciat Philomela suos tua gaudia cantus.
