In Georgium Keithum Caledonium Apostatam EPIGRAMMA, Lucis Triumphum, & Keithi cum Coni [...]atis suis Catastrophen Praenuncians.

KEithus, Ecebolius, Jul'anus Apostata factus,
Antiquae Fidei perditus Hostis adest.
Credula belligeros memoravit Fama Gigantes,
Caelos Stultitiâ qui petiêre suâ.
Sed nova Bella parat Keithus, superat (que) Gigantes;
Fictum illi, Hic Verum jam petit ecce Deum.
Difficile est Keitho nihil, ipsum Acheronta movebit,
In Lucem Satyras ut Vomat ille feras.
Ast invicta stetit, stabit (que) per omnia Sêcla
Lux, Victo Keitho Sacricolis (que) suis,

The same in English Paraphrase.
An Epigram, upon George Keith, the Caledonian
Apostate, Predicting
The Triumph of the Light, and Overthrow of
Keith and his Accomplices.

KEith, Ecebolius-like now leads the Van
O'th' Forlorn Hope; Apostate Julian!
The Apostolick Faith once own'd, but now
This Renegade the same doth disavow.
Poetick Stories Fab'lously Report,
On Heav'n it self the Giants made Effort.
But Keith out-does them, his proud Folly view;
They a Feign'd God attack'd, but he the True.
Keith nothing Scares, into Black Hell he goes;
Thence Stygian Darkness at the Light he throws.
But th' Light hath still Triumphed over all
For Ages past, and Triumph ever shall:
Whilst Baffled Keith, who better Things once knew,
May Rave ith' Dark with his Benighted Crew.
