altitude I have therefore endeavoured to Portraict this Hero with such colours as are most consonant to Moral Vertues rendring the Poem as much Ethical as poetical being compos'd of the sublimity and mastership of Maro and Gravity of Seneca Of the Delicacy of Ovid and Divinity of Plutarch c. All concurring to make it Exemplum imitabile morum What cat be more perswasive then Morality or amiable then Vertue to the imitation whereof if the love of the thing according to that of Horace Odâ—runt peceare boni virtutis amore be not a saffitient incentive yet the praise of the Action which Fabius made the discoverey of his hopeful youth may probably intice 'T is true tho' neither the habit of Vertue with the Stoicks nor its Action with the Peripateticks be available to entitle their Possessour to Beatitude yet the exercise of good Actions acknowledging their original from the Fountain of true Vertue God Almighty and levelling at the right Scope His Glory is no doubt profitable as the Antecedent and Way thâ— not as the Cause and Merit of Salvation Besides the estimate of this Hero's Vertues is rais'd by his not being too much affected with popular applause nor transported with Fame and Commendation conferr'd upon â—im by otheâ—s as Claudian aptlie expresses it to the praise of his Theodorus thus Nec faâ—cibus ullis _____ Erigltur plaâ—suve petit clarescere vuigl Chusing Socrates compendious way to Glorie by being such indeed as be would seem and be accounted to be so that he needs not regard what prejudice Fame can dâ— hâ—s Veâ—â—ue which â—â—â—ough the obscure Clouds of Envy Vertue 's waiting shadow wherewith it has been overcast hath appear'd the more radiant and his Spirit by the outward violence and various assaults it hath encounter'd become the more Herolek of whose Vertue that of Furnius is Verified Virescit vulnere virtus It will also accresce to the extent of his Praise that his Vertues are Illustrated by the splendour of a noble Parentage from whom albeit Nâ—bilâ—â—â— shadowed with Vertue might seem to have been deriv'd and propagated to the several branches properly sprung from the same as Horace alludes unto lib. 4 od 4 thu's Fortes c eantur fortibus bonis Est in juvencls est in equis patrum Virtus nec lmbellem feroces Progenerant aquilae columbam Nevertheless he hath always esteem'd his claime unto his Birth-right Nobility to be frivolous and slight unless it had been founded upon the merit of his own purchase Vertue as if he had concluded to have forefeited his interest in the celebrity of his Progenitours if he had been unable to acquire and challenge the same as the due reward of his own which gives him a just Title without having recourse to the Sanctuary of his Ancestors merits unto thereverse of true honour albeit it may be Problematical whether it be more commendable to have Vertue and Honour entail'd upon him as the effect and quality of the Original or to become himself the active and free Cause of the progress and continuation of the same From all which every Christian may copy what Virgil prescriv'd to young Saloninus Ecl. 4. At simul Heroâ—m laudes facta pâ—rentis Jam legeâ—e quae sit poteris cognoscere Virtus But to give you a further account of my Poem from which the warm Celebration of my Hero's Vertues made me a litle digress know that I auspicate as a sure and noble Foundation to the succeeding Work with the pious erogation of an illustrious Fountain flowing from my Hero's native Generosity towards his observant Town Falkirk In this manner of Exordium Scallger doth Patronize me teaching in an Heroick Encomium at first view to introduce the Hero the subject of the Poem adorned with the Trophies of some of his most laudable Actions Next I inveich against Diseases the cause of his departure whereby Falkirk was not only depriv'd of the bâ—â—â—fit of several Vertues viz. Temperance Justice Friendship Charity c altemanently exemplifi'd in his Presence but also sustained numerous and great losses in their â—riviledges Estates and Credits and the damnage which through the death of some of theiâ— ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ Friends and Benefactors accru'd unto them seem'd even to be extenuated and compens'd by his Presence of which being depriv'd they were extreamly â—fflâ—cted till now sensible of their low estate they become Supplicants to the Throne of Grace which Affliction as Gregory well Observes aims to conduct men unto And lo their Address a motive to excite others to Devotion in the like condition seems not to have been unseasonable for their Petitions are return'd indorsed with a fiat ut petitur and the glad return of their Lord and Patrone proven now to be their best Tutelar in Adversity and fittest Superscription of my Poem doth soon constitute the wish'd effect of their prayers which compleats the first part of my Poem The second part of my Poem contains Calander's Return which the Town and others solemnly congratulate and the Rendevouze of all these Vertues again which at his departure forsook their Residence in the Town making up a part of the Retinue which attended him home In this Collection I do not muster up any new Vertue diâ—â—ering from these mentioned as Concomitants of his departure but only condescend upon the several Streames and numerous Issue that may be drain'd from these prefixed Heads and appositly referr'd unto the same It were improper to conceive that these Vertues accompanying him should be reduc'd unimprov'd seeing Activitie is suppos'd to be essential to Vertue which unoccupâ—'d must forgo its property and degenerate into an ignoble habit For example under Temperance that general Head are compriz'd Frugality Liberality and Sobriety all tending to moderate the passions of the mind and subjected to temperance not improperly term'd the modus in Rebus which Horace speaks of Sat. 1. lib. 1. From Loyaltie the dutie which all Subjects ow to their Soveraign I took occasion to speak of the gallantry and dignity if the Family he descended from much celebrated for their obedience to their Prince As also to reflect upon publick and private Business praevious to the consideration of Court and Countrey his own private Dwelling laying before him all the Charms imaginable to engage his suffrage for the latter From Trade it follow'd not impertinently to Treate of his Care and Oversight of the Inhabitants of the several Vertues employ'd by him in Ruling over them having influence upon their manners And lastly of his good Turns done to and Favours bestow'd upon the Town contributing much to the advancement of Trade to the conciliating the Affections of the Inhabitants signified by their zealous Prayers for the promoting of their Patron 's present and future Felicity Thus I have given you an Account of my Poem and method thereof I doubt not but you 'l approve the Argument which I confess is but ill manag'd The advantage of the easinesse and pleasantness of the Subject insinuated
