Æneas dead, Ascanius raign'd: Ascanius dead his brother
Posthumus Syluius did succeed: Lauinia was his mother,
Her Syer Latinus, Faunus his, and Picus him begot,
And Saturne him: From mother thus Posthumus lacked not
The noblest bloud, On Fathers side his petigree was thus:
Ioue had Dardanus, and the same begot Erictheus,
He Troys, Troys Assaracus, he Capys, and the same
Anchises, he AEneas had, of him Posthumus came,
And he was Father vnto Brute: and thus the Brutons bring
Their petigree from Iupiter, of Pagane Gods the King:
And adde they may that Brute his Syer of Venus sonne did spring.
Thrise fiue degrees from Noe was Brute, and fower times sixe was he
From Adam: and from Iaphets house doth fetch his petigree.

And to associate his Exile, a many Troyans mo

To whom did Fortune, Fortunelike, become a friend and foe:
Till Brute (with no lesse payne and praise then had his Grandsier late
Achiued Latium) landing here, suppressed so the state
Of all the Fiend-breed Albinests, huge Gyants fearce and strong,
Or race of Albion, Neptuns Sonne (els some deriue them wrong)
That of this Isle (vn-Scotted yet) he Empire had erelong.
