De EDINBURGO, JOHANNIS JONSTONI Carmen.

MOnte sub acclivi Zephyri procurrit in auras: Hinc arx celsa, illinc Regia clara nitet. Inter utramque patet sublimibus ardua tectis Ʋrbs armis, animis clara, frequensque viris. Nobile Scotorum caput, & pars maxima regni, Pene etiam gentis integra regna suae.

An quisquam Arctoi extremo in limite mundi Aut haec, aut paria his cernere posse putet? Dic, Hospes, postquam externas lustraveris oras, Haec cernens oculis credis an ipse tuis?
