Upon The Death Of The Earl Of Dundee.[1]
By John Dryden
Oh, last and best of Scots! who didst maintain Thy country's freedom from a foreign reign; New people fill the land now thou art gone, New gods the temples, and new kings the throne. Scotland and thee did each in other live; Nor wouldst thou her, nor could she thee survive. Farewell! who dying didst support the state, And couldst not fall but with thy country's fate.
