tus, ad libertatem recuperandam
Scotos hortatur.
Haccine libertas toties promissa Britannis,
Quae facit ut Vestis nos peregrina tegat?
Vestibus antiguis rūtilis []spoliamūr &et armis
Num Gens Servitium libera tale feret?
Signa Seqūi nolet Miles regalia, qūi non
Pro victu aut cūltu bella cruenta geret.
Surge, licet Sero, de longo, Scotia, Somno,
Clausaque, jamdūdūm lumina pande, precor.
Arma cape intrepidè, cases ūlciscere Natos,
Sic tibi libertas est repetenda Vetus.
Det Deus, in Reges veteres tùa turpia cer-
nas
Crimina, Germanūm decūtiasque jūgūm.
