Encomia Urbium Quotes

“Leith, by that Water which is named by thee,
To thee a thousand Favours granted be;
Thy bosom is a safe and happy Port,
To which a thousand veshells do resort;
Thou art a Pilot-Town, thy ships are such
As are ambitious to outsail the Dutch.
The utmost parts of Earth thy Sails descry.”
― Arthur Johnston, Encomia Urbium
