Cassibelan, 17. yeeres. 58.

Lvd dead, the Nobles crown'd Cassibelan,
In whose reigne here the Romanes conquest wan,
Great Iulius Cæsar sailed out of France,
And in this Land his Eagle did aduance.
But Britaines bold scorn'd base at first to stoope,
Twice Cæsar fled, before their warlike troope.
The Ciuill warres, this Kingdome ouer-runnes,
Betwixt Cassibelan, and Luds two Sonnes,
Whilst they (vnnaturall) sought each others fall,
The Romanes tooke aduantage, conquer'd all:
Where Cæsar, by his high Imperiall doome,
Made Britaine Tributary vnto Rome.
