 THIS EDITION OF THE 
 
 PALICE OF HONOUR, 
 
 IS RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED 
 
 AND 
 
 PRESENTED 
 
 BY 
 
 JOHN GARDINER KINNEAR. 
 
 JANUARY, 
 M.DCCC.XXVII. 
 
The Palice of Honour, the earliest of the original 
 works of Gawin Douglas, Bishop of Dunkeld, was com- 
 posed about the year 1501, the twenty-seventh of the 
 Author's life, and twelve years before his translation of 
 Virgil's ^neis, ' into Scottish Meter,' was completed/ 
 
 The present edition of this Poem is a fac- simile 
 of that printed at Edinburgh by John Eos, for Henry 
 Charteris, in 1579 — the rarity of which is so great, that 
 I believe it would be difficult to find any other copies 
 than those preserved in the Libraries of the University 
 of Edinburgh, and of the Faculty of Advocates ; the 
 former of which was presented to his Alma Mater, by 
 William Drummond of Hawthornden, in 1626. 
 
 Of the earlier edition, printed at London by William 
 Copland, about the year 1553, a fac-simile of the title is 
 given on the next leaf, and is followed by a specification 
 of the various readings. At the Koxburghe sale, a copy 
 
 * " Completit was this werk Virgilliane 
 *' Apoun the feist of Marye Magdalane : 
 " Fra Christis birth the date wha list to here, 
 " Ane thousand fyve hundreth and threttene zere." 
 
 Gawin Douglas. 
 
VI 
 
 of this edition, which is also extremely rare, brought the 
 sum of twenty guineas. 
 
 These, which are both in quarto, are the only editions 
 which have yet been discovered of this Poem, although 
 there appear to have been other and earlier impressions ; 
 for the publisher of the Edinburgh edition, in 1579, 
 states, that " the divers impressiones befoir imprentid 
 " of this notabill werk have bene altogidder faultie and 
 " corupt, not onlie that quhilk has bene imprentid at 
 " London, but also the copyis set furth of auld amangis 
 " our selfis." 
 
 The Pahce of Honour will be found reprinted in Pin- 
 kerton's Scotish Poems ; and in the " Select Works of 
 Gawin Douglas," printed at Perth in 1787 ; to the latter 
 of which a Life of the Author is annexed by the Rev. 
 James Scott. An Account of the Life and Writings of 
 Bishop Douglas, has been also given by Bishop Sage, 
 by Dr George Mackenzie, and Dr David Irving. 
 
 I am happy to have this opportunity of returning my 
 thanks to James Chalmers, Esq., for the loan of a very 
 fine copy of Copland's edition of the Palice of Honoui*, 
 from the hbrary of his late uncle, George Chahners, Esq; 
 
COLLATION 
 
 OF THE EARLIER EDITIONS OF 
 
 THE PALICE OF HONOUR.

 following title, within the same ornamental border, of which a fac-simile is 
 given on the foregoing leaf. 
 
 ** The xiii. Bukes of Eneados o the famose Poete Virgill, Translatet out of

 QVHEN paill Aurora, with face lamentabill

 Lappit about the heuinly Circumstance 
 The tender bed and Arres honorabill 
 Of Flora Queue till floures amiabilL 
 In May I rais to do my obseruance. 
 And enterit in a Gardyne of plesance 
 With Sol, depaint, as Paradice amiabili 
 And blisfuU bewis, with blomed varyance. 
 
 ([Sa craftely Dame Flora had ouirfret 
 Hir heuinly bedj powderit with mony a set 
 Of Ruby, Topas, Perle, and Emerant. 
 With Balmy dew, bathit and kyndlie wet, 
 Quhill vapours bote richt fresche and weill ybet : 
 Dulce of odour, of fluour maist fragrant 
 The siluer droppis on Daseis distillant. 
 Quhilk verdour branches ouir the alars zet 
 With smoky sence the mystis reflectant. 
 
 ^ The fragrant flouris blomand in thair seis 
 Ouirspred the leuis of natures Tapestreis. 
 Abone the quhilk with heuinly Harmoneis 
 The birdis sat on twystis and on greis 
 Melodiously makand thair kyndlie gleis 
 Quhais schill noitis fordinned all the skyis. 
 Of repercust air the Echo cryis, 
 Amang the branches of the blomed treis. 
 And on the Laurers siluer droppis lyis.

 Replenischit, and full of all delice 
 Out of the sey, Eous alift his heid. 
 I mene the hors quhilk drawis at deuice

 Of Tytan, quhilk at morrow semis reid*

 Be goldin bemis viuificatiue. 
 Quhais amene heit is maist restoratiue. 
 The Greshoppers amangis the vergers gnappit. 
 And Beis wrocht matenkll for thair Hyue.

 Phebus, furth zet depured bemis cleir 
 Maist nutritiue till all thingis vegetant.

 Nor auld Satume with his mortall speir. 
 And bad aspect contrair till euerie plant 
 Neptunus nold within that Palice hant. 
 The beriall stremis rynning men micht heir 
 By bonkis grene widi glancis variant.

 The Sol enbroude with colour, vre, and stone 
 The tender grene, the balmy droppis sweit : 
 Sa reioycit and comfort was my Spreit 
 I not was it a vision or fantone. 
 Amyd the buskis rowming myne alone 
 Within that garth of all plesance repleit 
 A voice I hard preclair as Phebus schone.

 Quha that constranit ar in luifis rage 
 Addressand thame with obseruance airlie 
 Weill auchtis the till gloir and AJagnifie. 
 And with that word I raisit my visage 
 Soir affrayit half in ane frenesie. 
 
 ^[O Nature Quene and 6 ze lustie May 
 (Quod I) tho, how lang sail I thus foruay ? 
 Quhilk zow and Venus in this garth deseruis. 
 Recounsell me out of this greit affray: 
 That I may sing zow laudis day be day. 
 Ze that all mundane creatures preseruis. 
 Comfort zour man that in this fanton steruis. 
 With spreit arraisit and euerie wit away. 
 Quaiking for feir baith pulsis, vane, and neruis.

 And not sustene so amiabill a soun 
 With ery curage febill strenthis sary 
 Bownand me hame and list na langer tary

 Throw quhais licht in extasie or swoun, 
 Amyd the virgultis all in till a fary 
 As feminine so feblit fell I doun. 
 
 <[And with that gleme sa desyit was my micht 
 Quhill thair remanit nouther voice nor sicht. 
 Breith, motion, nor heiring naturall 
 Saw neuer man so faynt a leuand wicht 
 And na ferly for ouir excelland licht.

 Vntill the hart that it na danger aill. 
 
 Quhen it is smorit, memberis wirkis not richt

 A lytle heit appeirit in my face. 
 Quhilk had tofoir bene paill and voyde of blude 
 Tho in my sweuen I met a ferly cace. 
 I thocht me set within a desert place 
 Amyd a Forest by a hyddeous flude 
 With grysly fische, and schortly till conclude
