Dongall, 67th King,

Rang the Yeer of Christ 824, fra the begining of the Kingdome 1154, and Rang 7 Years.

A wirtuous Prince, yet singular Seveir,
Th'vnbridled Youth, bent to Rebellione:
That would perforce, Compell th'apeirand Heire,
Befoir the time, to come and claime the Croune:
He dois prevent, (so sharplie he provides)
And punicshes, thair Principalls, and Heids.
THE Pictish Croune, when he had send, and sought,
To Alpine falne, by ane Maternall right:
The Clame misknowne, his Sute set all at nought,
Whill as he mynds, to mend him by his might:
The Fates prove Foes, & they this King confound,
For passing Spey, he is borne doune and dround.
