Eugenius V. 56th King,

Rang the Yeer of Christ 684, fra the begining of the Kingdome 1014, and Rang 4 Yeers.

When he wes crownd, with consonant Consents:
With Cunning Craft, with Strength, he Strength withstands:
Levd Practise he, with Policie, prevents,
And wrongs Reveng'd, with Hardines of hand:
A powerfull and most politick Prence,
Ne're warr't with wit, nor wrong'd with Violence.

TH'insulting Saxones, brakers of thare Trues
Be Prudencie, and Provess in the Plane:
(Tho' Pights disperst) he dantones, and subdues,
And then, thair faithless cruell King, hes slane;
And so Triumphant, ov're the Pights, and thame,
In peace possest, to deathe, his Diadem.
