Leith, Saturday, DecrDecember 8th, 1750,
Donald Roy MacDonald was with
me R:Robert F:Forbes when he gave me a
Latin poem of his own Compos-
ing, an exact Copy of which
is as follows.
Montanus, arma &et braccasbracas depo-
nere coactus, Queritur.
nere coactus, Queritur.
Ne studeam Martis pugnacis munera, ferre
Impius Oppressor bellica tela vetat.
Me, vice braccarumbracarum, femoralia sumere cogit
Georgius, antiquȃ ne levitate meem.
Hei mihi! difficile est montanos scandere
montes,
Impedit insolitus nexus utrumque femur.
Non mihi per Campos vestigia Stringere fas
est,
Lex brevibus gradibus carpere cogit iter.
Nulla mihi Sexȗs muliebris blanda videtur,
Quòd dare consultum gaudia Carcer habet.
