Ethod the II. 28th King,

Rang the Yeer of Christ 216, fra the begining of the Kingdome 546, and Rang 16 Years.

A spritles Prence, a Man without a Mind
Incapable of such a Prencelie Place:
(As never came of anie Kingly Kind)
He had no Pairt to proove his Roiall Race:
And yet to hoord up Substance he Essayes,
By villanous and manie wicked Wayes.
WHEREFORE th'Estaits to help thair Losses large,
With Approbatioun, they this Prince deposde:
And took thameself the Governement and Charge,
When he was once incarcerate and closde.
Whair for his Goods and his ungodlie Gaine,
His Guardians, this pusill Prince hes slain.
