276

Lud reigned II. yeeres, 66.

A long time after Troynouant was fram'd,
It was by Lud, Kair-Lud, or Lud-stone nam'd.

277

He made it strong with Battlements and Towres,
Defensiue against foes inuasiue pow'rs.
Of free Stone for Free-men Ludgate hee founded,
Where freemen (wanting freedom) are confounded.
He dy'd and left two Sonnes, too young for reigne,
Wherefore his brother did the Crowne obtaine.
