[...] Ballance of all Europe SIR, is Your's,

[...] Help and Shelter of oppressed Powers.

[...] Holland, Fla [...]ders, and all Europe knows.

[...] [...]appy ORANGE-TREE, both Branch and Root,

[...] much refreshed by the very Smell.

[...]ch perfumes all our European Costs,

[...]ugh Boreas Blasts and Hyperborean Frosts.

[...] our own Thule, and the Orkney Isles,

[...]ound cold Russia many thousand Miles.

[...] rare Accomplishments that shine in You,

[...]ow if Great SIR, you list to lend an Ear,

[...] a far Countrey, joyful News we hear,

[...]rus gently blows, and Whistling, Sings,

[...] my sweet Gales, delicious Tydings brings.

[...] of November, that auspicious Day,

[...] valiant SCOTS their Colours did display,

[...]he Western world, where they did meet,

[...]sands of Welcomes prostrat at their Feet.

[...] Soveraign Director was their Guide,

[...]ne them favour'd; Earth, Seas, Wind and Tyde.

[...] Natives made their Joyes ring to the Skyes,

[...] them ador'd as Demi-deitys.

[...]harmless Heathens, whom through time we vow,

[...]ain good Subjects both to GOD and You.

ANDREW our first Tutelar was he,

ƲNICORN, must next Supporter be,

CALEDONIA doth bring up the Rear,

[...]ht with brave hardy Ladds, and void of Fear;

[...]lendedly equpit, and to the Three,

Endeavour and Dolphin Hand-maids be,

[...] to these Praises, this Addition have,

[...]njuries they'l give, nor yet receive.

Ships and Men commanded Sir, it's true,

[...]aptains both of Sense and Honour too.

[...] are these Youths the Scum of this our Land,

[...]n effect, a brave and generous Band.

[...]t'd with thirst of Fame, and sound to have,

[...]s upon the Marbles of their Grave.

[...]hough that hundreds in that Train do come,

[...]se Vertues are eclipst with want at Home.

[...] [...]ere their Means but equal to their Mind,

[...] the World you should not braver find.

[...]o allay Youths rash unwary Deeds,

[...] have their orders sent from elder Heads.

[...] wise Senat, who Consult and Vote,

[...] is the Companys Int'rest, and what not.

[...]ding Fertile Fields and Golden Mountains,

[...]th [...] with clear [...] [...] ristal Fountains;

Rivers, safe Bayes, variety of Plants▪

And useful Trees which our old Brittain wants.

Here grows the Nicaragua Manchionell,

Vannileos also, that perfumes so well.

Our sable night is gone, the day is won,

The SCOTS are follow'd with the RISING-SƲN.

The Ev'ning crowns the Day, and what remains?

Old ALBANY its antient Fame regains.

FERGƲS 1st. Your brave Ancestor gave the Scots of old

FERGƲS 1st. A Lyon rampant in a field of Gold.

When he our Coat-Armorial did dispense.

Which now is ours, in a true literal Sense.

And can our Breasts such swelling Joys contain,

WlLLIAM the Lyon rules the SCOTS again:

A Nation who with hearts, with hands and head,

Will serve you, Soveraign Sir, in time of need.

Warlike Gaustavus, and Great Charl le maigne,

Did ne're employ our Martial swords in vain.

The Brittons, Romans, Saxons and the Danes,

Did all Invade Us, but with fruitless Pains.

The treach'rous Picts did oft attempt the same;

But for Reward, lost Countrey, Life and Name.

The noble Race of Douglass did excell

In Military Glory, all can tell

At Home, and Forraign Shoars, yea, ever still,

Of all the Sirname, very few prove ill.

The antient Grahams are brave, [...]d all confess,

True to their Sov'raigns, chiefly in distress.

The Danes who made our neighb'ring Nation Slaves;

Found here the Hays who beat them to their G [...]ave

Kind Mantua hath never yet forgot

Rare Creighton, call'd the Admirable Scot,

Whose life shews him a Miracle of Men:

As it is drawn by an Italian Pen.

Wallace and Bruce, I shall not now rehearse

Lest I offend you, Sir, with tedious Verse.

And hundreds more of undenyed Fame,

For Arts and Arms, whom I forbear to name:

And as our Valour flew all Europe round,

So now our Trade scarce both the Poles shall bound.

If You but own us, Mighty Sir, and then

No Devils we fear, nor yet malicious Men.

What humane Counter-plot can marr the thing,

That is protected by Great-Brittains King.

Our Claim is just: and so we value not

The Brags of Spain, nor Thundrings of the Pope,

Who may well threaten; Yet Don dare not fight,

When he minds 'DARIEN, and old Eighty eight.

Their Cruelties were Catholick indeed,

Not Christian, to poor Indians and their Seed,

But those they call Hereticks of our Nation,

We hope will shew a meeker Reformation,

Nor shall insulting Neighbours henceforth taunt

The gen'rous SCOTS, for Poverty and Want.

Our ships through all the World shal go and come,

Even from the Rising to the Setting Sun.

Then shall we from the genuine Spring command,

What now we truckle at a second hand.

And we shall flourish by your Royal Rays,

With Honour, Riches, and old Nestors days:

And ever bless our GOD, and praise our KING,

And CALEDONIA's Triumphs gladly sing.

No mercenary thoughts, or base design

Of servile Flatt'ry, made th [...] Verse [...]

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
