The
Brutons thus had peace a while, till Vortigerus Sonne,
And Gutllamour the Irish King, in new Conflicts begonne:
Whom, whil'st that Vter valiantly in Wales to wracke did bring,
His Brother Ambrose did decease, and Vter then was King.

What Vter did by Marlins Art, in compassing his will
Vpon the Wife of Garolus, transfigured by skill
Into the likenesse of her Lord, on whom he got a Sonne,
Renowmed Arthur, or to name the Acts by Vter donne,
Were much and needlesse: onely note he was a valiant Prince.
But such as was his noble Sonne, was not before or since.
Yeat blazing Arthur, as haue some, I might be ouer-seene:
He was victorious, making one amongst the Worthies neene:
But (with his pardon) if I vouch his world of Kingdomes wonne,
I am no Poet, and for lacke of pardon were vndonne.
His Scottish, Irish, Almaine, French, and Saxone Battels got,
Yeeld fame sufficient: these seeme true, the rest I credit not.
But Bruton is my taske, and to my taske I will retire:
Twelue times the Saxon Princes here against him did conspire,
And Arthur in twelue Battels great went vanquishor away:
Howbeit Saxon forces still amongst the Brutons stay.

This King to entertaine discourse, and so to vnderstand
What Accidents in after-times should happen in this Land,
He with the Brutish Prophet then of Sequelles fell in hand.
Of sixe long after-Kings the man, not borne of humane seede,
Did Prophesie, and many things that came to passe indeed.

Now Arthur, chiefe of Chiualrie, had set his Crowne at stay,
And to his Nephew Mordred did commit thereof the sway,
When with his Knights (the wonders of the world for Martiall deeds)
Beyond the seas in forren fights he luckely proceedes:
Till faithlesse Mordred cal'd him backe that forward went with fame,
For at his Vncles Diadem he traiterously did aime.
Twise Arthur wonne of him the field, and thirdly slewe his Foe,
When, deadly wounded, he himselfe, victorious, died so.
