Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sir William Alexander, Earl of Stirling, Vol. 2: The Non-Dramatic Works The text of this volume was already in type in 1921, when we published Volume I. At that time we anticipated that not more than a year or two would be needed to complete the edition. But the nature of the editorial additions called for by our second volume has caused long delays, and involved repeated reconsideration of our original scheme. By far the most extensive of the poems to be edited was Boomer-day; and its eleven thousand lines are packed with direct and indirect allusions to the familiar or recondite matters which constituted the intellectual equipment of a cultured Scottish gentleman of Alexander's day. It seemed, therefore, more convenient and more proper to track these allusions by a desultory course of wide reading rather than by forthright hunting: and so the years have gone by.

Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Sir William Alexander, Earl of Stirling, &C, Vol. 2 of 3: Now First Collected and Edited With Memoir and Notes Darius, the fourteenth from Cyrus, King of Persia, being, after the death of Occhus, for his singular valour, from the government of Armenia advanced to the Persian Empire, became so arrogant (a good successe as it were setting him forward to confusion) as he sent to demand tribute of Philip, then King of Macedonia, who, being of a hauty nature (and inferiour to none of that age in courage, or for military discipline), requited this contumelious message with as disdainefull an answer; threatning that he would come and deliver it in Persepolis. But being prevented by death, he left the execution of his designe to his sonne Alexander who for the great victories which thereafter he obtained, was sumamed the great. He, inheriting the hatred of his father towards Darius and farre surmounting him in ambition, past in person to Asia with an army of thirty thousand men onely. After his arrivall, Darius wrote to him in a proud and contemptible manner, ascribing to himselfe the title of the King of Kings, and kinsman of the Gods, and naming Alexander his servant; hee also, in vaunting manner, bragged that he would have that mad boy, the sonne of Philip (for so in derision he termed him), bound, and beaten with roddes, and after brought to his presence apparelled like a prince. For performance whereof he directed one of his minions, with forty thousand men, to make impediment to his passage at the river of Granicky where, by the wonderfull valour of Alexander they were over throwne. Darius being advertised of this, came himselfe in proper person, accompanied with infinite (but evill ordered) numbers, and encountred Alexander beside Isso, in the strait of Cilicia, where, having fought a doubtfiill and bloudy battell, in end by the invincible valour and never-failing fortune of Alexander, his army was defeated, himselfe put to flight, and his mother, wife, and children made captives.
