I. Brvte. Anno mundi, 2858. Before Christ, 1108.

Æneas from subuerted Troy exilde,
In Tuscan wedded King Latinus childe:
By whom the Realme of Italy he gain'd,
And after he had 3 yeeres fully raign'd
He died, and left Ascanius in his stead:
To whom Siluius Posthumus did succeed.
From which Posthumus Royall loynes did spring,
Great Brutus, Brittaines first commanding King:
The people then were (here) all voyd of pride,
Borne Naked, Naked liu'd, and Naked dy'd.
Three Sonnes Brute left, Locrinus was his Heire
To England, Cambria (Wales) was Cambers share,
To Albanact (the youngest) 'twas his lot,
To sway the Scepter of the valiant Scot.
Thus 'mongst his Sonnes this Ile he did diuide,
And after twenty foure yeeres Reigne he dy'd.

Brute being of the age of 15 yeeres, as he shot at a wild beast, the arrow glanced vnfortunately and slew his Father Sinius Æneas, for the which he was exiled, and came into this Land, then called Albyon.

I follow the common opinion: for many Writers doe neither write or allow of Brutes being here, accounting it a dishonor for our Nation, to haue originall from a Paricide, and one that deriued his descent from the Goddesse (alias strumpet) Venus. Howsoeuer, Histories are obscured and clouded with ambiguities, some burnt, lost, defaced by antiquity; and some abused by the malice, ignorance, or partialitie of Writers so that truth is hard to be found. Amongst all which variations of Times and Writers, I must conclude there was a BRVTE.
