Leith, Monday, DecrDecember 10th, 1750,
Donald Roy MacDonald was with
me R:Robert F:Forbes when he gave me a
latin poem of his own Com-
posing
, an exact Copy of
which is as follows.

Montanus Campbellos, ob fidelita-
tem erga Georgium nil mercedis a-
deptos, irridet.
Ingemo, deletæ, flammis Lanionis &et armis
Cum Patrice miserum mente revolvo Statum
Plaudite, Campbelli, lanionia Signa Secuti,
Redditus est vobis, quem meruistis, honor.
Montani reliqui cultu Spoliantur &et armis,
1Vestitus vobis armaque ferre datur.
Lex

Ironicè dictum.
1625 (1625)
Lex corrupta licet veteres mutavit amictus,
2Mens eadem nobis, quæ fuit ante, manet.
Non procul esse diem Spero, quo fulgidus armis
Belligeris habitu multicolore tegar.

Vide Proverbium, Lupus pi-
