 That on the Bae of Vertue Built their Fame,

And join to that leer Praie their Name,

The only Jut and truly great Deign;

For Vertue helps Nobility to hine.

Then who hall earch the long forgotten Roll,

Examine all the Parts, or Sum the whole,

Who hall the Impotence of Art upply,

Beyond the reach of Books or Heraldry?

There Gordon, Linday, Crawford, Mar and Wems,

With Seaton, Ramey, Cuninghame and Gra'ams,

Forbes, Ros, Murray, Bruce, Dunbar and Hume,

And Names for whom no Poet can make Room;

Remote in Birth, in Names and Honours known,

The Caledonian Glory through the World have how'n.

Where hall the Galick Trophies now appear?

The Ancient Belgae would look modern here.
