And coasting Isis, viewd that royall court,

Where once Appollo did in glory sport;

On Pindus tops, to have Mecenas praise

This light ohumbrat, Arthur courts the North

The Earle of Glencairne.And servd a noble Earle of auncient worth

Full eighteene yeares: till death that darts our woe

Now they are fled, and he is left alone

Till heavens provide his hopes some happy one
