Finitimi proceres, dum tua facta vident :

Douglaffi nomen caufa timoris erat
Impavidis ipfis, flammas umbone vomente
Haftis et gladiis dum lata caftra petunt !
Douglaflae genti comes it victoria laeta ;
Grandior at vefter digne triumphus erat ?
Carpere dum tentat livor, loliginis atras
Succus, et asrugo fpicula mera vibrat.
Confcia mens recti, te nomen fuave parentum,
Te patris et matris fulfit et ambit honos !
Gratior effulget tenebris nebulilque fugatis

Sic radiat nomen matris, quod fama perennis

Ergo vale juvenis, genus alto e fanguine regum,
Si tibi cura mei, fit tibi cura tui ?
