 Not Mommerancy, not the great Naau,

Could Ancetors like thee, directly draw.

Douglas with Native Dignitys adorn'd,

Ancient beyond Record,

Records they corn'd.

The World's the general Record of their Houe,

When Hitories are ilent and abtrue.

The Fund of Families is in their Blood,

And the Fam'd Scoti on their Shoulders tood,

A Race of Princes from their fruitful Stem,

Has been a living Hitory to them.

Their Fame that's pat, foretold their Fame to come,

They'r Dukes abroad before they'r Dukes at home.
