birds sweetly sing In heavenly Musick warbling like Arion Like Thracian Orpheus Linus or Amphion That Helicon Parnassus Pindus fair To these most pleasant banks scarce can compare These be the banks where all the Muses dwell And haunt about that cristall brook and well Into these banks chiefly did we repair Erom Shunshine shadowed and from blasting air There with the Muses we did sing our songs Sometimes for pleasure sometimes for our wrongs For in those dayes none durst approach their table But we to taste their dainties this no fable From thence to Methven wood we took our way Soone be Aurora fair did kyth the day And having rested there some little space Againe we did betake us to our chace Raising the Does and Roes forth of their dennes And watrie fowles out of the marrish fennes That if Diana had been in that place Would thought in hunting we had stain'd her grace To Methven Castle where Gall did declare How Margaret Teuther Queen sometimes dwelt there First daughter to King Henrie seventh who closes York-Lancaster in one Englands two roses A happie union after long debate But union much more happie and more great Even by that same Queen springs and by her race Whereby all Britaine joyes long wished peace Hence came King Iames his title to the Crowne Of England by both parents of renowne Hence comes our happie peace so be it ay That peace with truth in Britaine flourish may Right over to Forteviot did we hy And there the ruin'd castle did we spy Of Malcolme Ken-more whom Mackduff then Than● Of Fife so cald from England brought againe And fiercelie did persue tyrant Makbeth Usurper of the Crowne even to the death These castles ruines when we did consider We saw that wasting time makes all things wither To Dupline then and shades of Aberdagie From thence to Mailer and came home by Craigie Soone by that time before three dayes were done We went to se the monuments of Scone As was our promise Scones Nymphs see we must For in such vowes we were exceeding just And there with Ovid thus did we declare Heere is a greene where stood a Temple fair Where was the fatall chaire and marble stone Having this Motto rare incisde thereon This is the stone if fates do not deceave Where e're it s found the Scots shall kingdome have Which Longshanks did transport to Troyuovant As Troy took in the horse by Grecia sent So we who sprung were of the Grecian crue Like stratageme on Trojans did renew Oh if this fatall chaire transported were To Spaine that we like conquest might make there From thence to Italie to Rome to Grece To Colchos thence to bring the golden fleece And in a word we wish this happie chaire Unto the furthest Indes transported were That mightiest Kingdomes might their presents bring And bow to Charles as to their soveraigne King Neerby we view that famous Earthen Mount Whereon our Kings to crowned be were wont And while we do consider there we found Demonstrat was the quadrat of the round Which Euclide could not finde nor Pater Erra By guesse we did it finde on Omnis terra And if you Geometers hereof do doubt Come view the place and yee shall finde it out A demonstration so wondrous rare In all the world I think none may compare Thence need we must go see the Mure of Scone And view where Pights were utterlie undone By valiant Scots and brought to desolation That since they never had the name of nation Seven times that fight renew'd was in one day Pights seven times quaild Scots were victorious ay Hence is it said when men shall be undone We shall upon them bring the mure of Scone King Donskine with his remnant Pights neere Tay All kild did crown the victorie of that day Then valiant Kenneth went to Camelon And threw to Earth King Donskins ancient throne So greatest Kingdomes to their periods tend And everything that growes must have an end Where is that golden head that reing'd so long The silver armes and bellie of brasse most strong The yron legs divided now in toes Are mixt with clay and so the world it goes Thus nations like stars in multitude Like sand on shore or fishes in the floud Yea rooted in the Earth so deep so long As on the mountains grow the Cedars strong Yet time hath overturn'd them and their names Are past as Letters written on the streames To tell us here we have no constant biding The world unto decay is alwayes sliding One Kingdome ever doth remaine and all Gainst it who rise to powder turne they shall Neere this we did perceave where proud Makbeth Who to the furies did his soul bequeath His castle mounted on Dunsinnen hill Causing the mightiest peeres obey his will And bow their necks to build his Babylon Thus Nimrod-like he did triumph upon That mountain which doth overtop that plaine And as the starrie heaven he should attaine A loftie tower and Atlas caused build Then tyrannizing rag'd as Nimrod wild Who had this strange response that none should catch him That borne was of a woman or should match him Nor any horse should overtake him there But yet his sprite deceav'd him by a mare And by a man was not of woman borne For brave Makduff was from his mother shorne Makduff cald Thane of Fife who home did bring King Malcolme Kenmore was our native King Ken-more great-head a great-head should be wise To bring to nought a Nimrods enterprise Vp to Dunsinnen's top then did we clim With panting heart weak loynes and wearied limme And from the mountains height which was well windie We spy where Wallace cave was at Kilspindie But there we might not stay thence to the plaine With swifter pace we do come down againe Descent is easie any man can tell For men do easelie descend to Hell When we had view'd these fields both heere and there As wearied Pilgrims gan we Home to fair Home happie is that word at Home in Heaven Where Gall now rests above the Planets seven And I am left this wretched Earth upon Thy losse vvith all my Gabions to bemoane Then mourne vvith me my Gabions and cry Gall svveetest Gall vvhat ailed thee to die The ninth Muse. WHat Could there more be done let any say Nor I did to prevent this dolefull day For when I saw Galls fatall constellation Would not permit him in this Earthly station Long to abide then did I give a tryall To make impartiall fate susteene denyall By herbarising while I prov'd my skill On top of Law-Tay and stay Mooredowne hill Collecting vegetables in these parts By all the skill of Apollinian Arts If possible't had been fate to neglect him By heavenlie skill immortall for to make him But sith that Phaebus could not stemme the bloud Of Hyacinthus in his sowning moud How then should I a mortall ah too shallow In wit and art presse to outreach Apollo Far be the thought I therefore must absent me And never more unto the World present me But solitarie with my Gabions stay And help them for to mourne till dying day Then farewell Cabine farewell Gabions all Then must I meet in heaven with Master Gall And till that time I will set foorth his praise In Elegies of wo and mourning layes And weeping for his sake still will I cry Gall sweetest Gall what ailed thee to die FINIS Eccles. 9. 11.
