DE REGE SERENISSIMO MENSE Maio ad natale solum redeunte Gratulatio, iterumque abeunte, Lachrymae.
QVid fratres scandis geminos, Sol auree, quorum Luctâ unus, volucri nobilis alter equo? Stella Stuarta duos alterna luce micantes Vincit, & innumeri sideris instar adest. Hinc puri sine faece dies, hinc mitis ois Lucidiùs solito Cynthius exit aquis: Hinc frondent sylvae, turgent & in arbore gemmae, Hinc vdâ emergit primula messis humo: In pratis agnique leves, hoedique petulci Luxuriant, quot non viderat antè Pales: Annonae veteris pleno bona copia cornu, Atque hornae Cereris spes alit agricolas. Et volupe est Musis laetas agitare choraeas, Et viridi sacram cingere fronde comam; Et festum celebrare diem; REX namque Camoenas Respicit, & tristes solus egere vetat. Colludunt Charites Musis, Aglaia, Thalia, Euphrosyne roseis innuba virgo genis. Exultat Phoebus, Pallasque intacta triumphat, Et saltat nudo Suada, Venusque pede. Aurea jurares coelo demissa corusco Tempora, Falciferi secla beata Senis. Non has delicias, non hunc tibi, Maie, leporem Conciliat nato Maia superba suo: Principis adventus, praesens & numen, & ampla Majestas Maio commoda tanta parit, At cùm subducet sese haec lux candida, flebis SCOTIA, & ingratas experiere vices: Heu qualis rerum facies! fugitiua queremur Gaudia praecipiti lubrica stare loco. Gramina marcebunt, languebit in arbore cortex, Depositum discet fallere terra ferax. Non salient tenerae per prata & saxa Napaeae, Moerebunt vitreae sicca fluenta deae.

Et licet obscuro pellantur nubila coelo, Ex populi lachrymis largior imber erit. Cynthius informi vultum ferrugine tectus, Orbatus magna parte decoris erit. Vt Phaëtonteae tristis post fata ruinae Per coelum fractis abnuit ire rotis, Cimmeriae vobis tenebrae fidissima Scoti Pectora,; cum aversis Rex pius ibit equis. Phoebe mane, lux alma mane, mora libera si sit, Praesidium populi deliciumque tui. Aut quoniam gaudent coelestia corpora motu, Et nequeunt vno sidera stare loco; Saltem cum Zephyris anno vertente revise, Cum veniet blandi nuncia veris avis. Te licet Hispanus Regem sibi poscat, & Indus, Scotorum semper pectore clausus eris. Te sine languemus victi moerore, remotis Vt Phoebi radiis squalida torpet humus.
