The Theatre of the Scotish Kings | ||
Fergus the First,
King of SCOTLAND, Rang the Yeer befoir Christ 330, and Rang 5 Yeers.
The first Foundator and the lawfull Lord,
The Roiall Roote, Stock and th'Imperial Stemme,
First gave our Lawis, this Countrie first decoird,
And did adorne It with a Diadem:
The boasting Britons, with his Force, he frights,
And first Contracts and Comprimitts with Pights.

WITH Favoring, and with a friendlie Fate,
His Deeds, his Foes from his Dominions dreave:
His Sword secuir'd, his Sceptre and Estate,
And muche enlarg'd, It, to his Line, did leave:
Yet whom no Pow're nor Practeis, could supprise,
Undone and drownd, in th'Irish Deeph, he dies.
