By Dr King of Oxford upon
seeing Miss Flora MacDonald’s
Picture.
Hic calamo simulata viget pulcherrima Flora,
Nata Donaldorum, Servatrix Principis: Illa
Per mare, per Scopulos, per multa periclaqꝫpericlaque duxit
Mentitum Ancillam juvenem, melioribus annis
Servatum Fato, regnis succurrere avitis.
Sic Venus Æneam per devia lustra vagantem
Obscuro nebulæ, circum Dea fudit amictu,
IncolumenqꝫIncolumenque altas tulit ad Carthaginis Arces
Qua tibi pro tantis non debita? Semper amata
Semper honorata, insignissima Virgo, ma-
nebis.
