De GLASGUA Carmen ARCTURI JONSTONI.

GLASGUA, tu socias inter caput exeris urbes; Et te nil ingens pulchrius Orbis habet. Sole sub occiduo Zephyri te temperat aura, Frigora nec brumae nec canis ora times. Glotta latus cingens, electro purior omni est, Hic regis imperio lintea mille tuo. Pons jugat adversas operoso marmore ripas, Et tibi securum per vada praebet iter. Aemula Phoeacum tua sunt pomaria, Sylvae Ruraque Poestanis sunt tibi plena rosis. Farra Ceres, armenta Pales, Thetis agmina gentis Squammigerae, Nemorum dat tibi diva feras. Tecta nitent, ipsas & tangunt vertice nubes: Quo commendentur plus tamen intus habent. Templa domos superant, radiant haec marmore puro, Marmoris & praetium nobile vincit opus. Non procul hinc Themidos se tollunt atria, patres Hic ubi purpureos dicere jura vides. In medio residens sua pandit limina Phoebus, Hic cum Parnass;o Pegasis unda fluit. Civibus ingentes animos, deus armiger artes; Nata Jovis stabiles Juno ministrat opes. Moenia Dardanidum posuit Grynaeus Apollo, Et deus aequoreis qui dominatur aquis. Glasgua te fausto struxerunt sydere divi Quot mare, Quot tellus, Quotquot & aequor habet.
