90. Gratian. 376.
Then Gratian claim'd this Kingdome as his right:But hauing gain'd it, he was slaine in fight:
Fierce warres the Romane Empire did deuide,
And Cæsars and their Viceroyes fought and dyde.
Honorius Romes Tribunall did obtaine,
Next after him did Theodosius raigne,
Then did the Scot ioyne with the barbarous Pict,
This headlesse, Kinglesse Kingdome to afflict.
The Romane Scepter we had long obayd,
Foure hundred eighty three yeeres Tribute payd;
And now this land shook off their wrongd cōmand
When Ciuill discord had neer spoyl'd this Land.
