Dongard, 42d. King,

Rang the Yeer of Christ 451, fra the beginning of the Kingdome 781, and Rang 5 Yeers.

In Counsall quick, a Prince in fight but feare,
Dispos'd to Peace, yet bold, and Bellicall:
Wnto his Brothers Seat, succeeds, and Heire,
Is to his Valor and his Virtues all:
In Peace provides for Varre, the word advances,
And stuffs his Strengths, for after-coming chances.
HIS Tributars, the Britons thay Rebell,
With Constantine, come to relieve thair Thrall:
His cutting Sword, thair Courage yet doth quell,
Thought too too fierslie fighting he did fall:
To him, and his, that Days great Glorie goes:
Yet dearlie bought, both unto Friends and Foes.
