IN Autumn when Seges decores the Fields, And Phoebus all plentiful Desires yeelds. These Creatures who did formerly bewail Their hard Estate, sing now in Annandale, There's Hope that Heavens will crown the year with good And Hoptoun blest with all manner of Food. Whilst Sun and Moon endure, so that there may Never be Want of Hope that Grace decay. For 'tis by Hope, That Love and Charity Are still upheld, without it both do dye. May Hoptoun flourish still with Lady Hen- Rietta, and have a Stock of good Children. That thro' all Ages, there may never fail The Memory of Hope and Annandale. Whose Noble Fame doth add to Hoptons Honour, He being by good Fate bestow'd upon Her. Who like to Flora in Spring of the Year, Sends furth a Fragrant Smell both far and near, To the Solace of all that See or Hear. Of these choice Virtues wherewith her tender Breast Is richly endu'd wherein true Hope doth rest, And full Assurance may always obtain Of human Pleasure, Beauty pure and clean. Her Noble Predecessors ever have Prov'd in all Ages Pious, Wise and Grave, And famous in such actions as might tend Their Countrey's Good, and Int'rest to defend. So, all who know the Bridegroom and the Bride, Hope they will prove in time (if Good betide) Which is the hearty Pray'r of Muses, when They are encourag'd Virtue's Praise to pen. But if they find their Labour quite neglected, To pray or praise they cease, being dejected. Yet still there's Hope they may revive again, And not always improve their time in vain.
