found An Isle here which the Wattrie Streams surround A little Isle but by the Highland LORDS A Battell fought therein to 't Fame affords Here the brave Youth the Noble Horses train With which the Wing'd-ones could no Race mantain This Isle MARS Field may be intituled By Light SCOTS Chariots oft enobelled Near by Thee there are Woods where one may kill The Staigs and Roes ensnare with nets at will And from the Carse not far off is which bears Most fragrant Aples and most luscious Pears Whilst thus thou do'st a happy mixture make A gain with pleasure nothing thou do'st lake And so the Crown of Praise and Dignitie As Thy just due doth appertain to Thee DUNDEE An Ancient Town to which Tay's entrie do Willing obedience and subjection shew The bones of conquer'd and slain Danes are found

sweet Paestum yeelds Thy Pastures Flocks thy fertile Ground the Corns Thy Waters Fish thy Fields the Woods adorns Thy Buildings high and glorious are yet be More fair within then they are outwardly Thy Houses by thy Temples are out done Thy glittering Temples of the fairest Stone And yet the Stones of them how ever fair The Workmanship exceeds whlch is more rare Not far from them the Place of Justice stands Where Senators do sit and give Commands In midst of thee APOLLO's Court is plac't With the resort of all the Muses grac't To Citizens in the Minerva Arts Mars valour Juno stable Wealth

The SALMON which a Fish is of the Sea The OAK which springs from Earth that loftie Tree The BIRD on it which in the Air doth flee O GLASGOW does presage all things to thee To which the Sea or Air or
