Ewin II. 14th King,

Rang befoir Christ 77, fra the begining of the Kingdome 254, and Rang 17 Yeers.

The Hebrid Iles, that with Debaites abounded,
My Powar pacified, and pat to Rest:
And Balus that his Easterne Orchards hounded,
To Sack and Spoile my Province, I Represt:
In fine, himselfe I urg'd and straited so,
That he became his proper Burreo.
THEN when I had those Orcadens subdew'd,
And Balus Bands disperst and put to Chace,

10

And Fedracie with Nightbours I Renew'd,
And then my Principalitie and Place:
To EDERE DURSTUS NEPOT I dimitt,
The neirest Heire and laughful Lord of it.
