In effigiem MARIAE REGINAE, Jacob. Magni. Britan. Reg. Matris.

GLoria, diuitiae, forma, aetas, sceptrá (que) regum,
Quàm sint res fluxae, tristis imago docet.

In eandem.

FOrs olim fuerat vultu per templa bifronti,
Tristia quòd laetis haec Dea mista daret.
Fronte sed hîc vna cernis ludibria Diuae,
Frons laeta effluxit, lenta sed atra manet.

✚ MARIA DEI GRATIA SCOTORVM REGINA

ME triplici damno memorem fors impia laesit:
Francigenum spolior sceptris, & Rege marito.
Charae iterum prolis viduor pullata parente:
Exilio patriam mutaui, carcere Regnum.
Spes triplex tria damna leuat, miserúm (que) dolorem:
Pro sceptris sceptri foelicis gloria nati,
Dulcis amor prolis pro dulci foedere lecti.
Est mihi libertas, chari sors libera nati.
Spem triplicem, tria damna simul spes vltima vincit.
Io. GORDONIVS Britanno-Scotus.

Excusum Londini Typis Johannis Norton, Illustrissimae Regiae Maiestati in Latinis, Graecis, & Hebraicis Typographi.
