AUGUSTO FREDERICO,
ALEXANDER MACDONALD.
PuLCHRA, Caledonio jamdudum condita versu,
Carmina fert animus late vulgare per orbem :
Non injussa eano ; mihi nec fiducia cedit,
Auspiciis firmata tuis, Auguste, secundis,
Resrie dux, almum dat cui Sussexia nomen,
Quique genus sceptnmique ornas famamque Tuorum.
Nunc, age, diductas verbis numeroque Maronis,
Accipe Phingaleas laudes, quas ore sonoro
Saepius Ossianes cecinit convallibus altis ;
Inde novos dabitur fors me, vir magne, labores
Vincere, virtutemque tuis extendere factis,
Brachia Telluri qua porrigit Amphitrite,
Dum vaga saecla reget Coelus, dum sidera pascet.
Crieff', Idibus
MDCCCXX
