Rang the Yeer of Christ 904, fra the begining of the Kingdome 1234, and Rang 40 Yeers.
A simple, and too Credulous a King,
Brought to beleeve, a siren Song too soone:
Which losses large, unto his Bands did bring,
How soone he did, Thame to the Danes conjoine:
A Natione fierce, foe to the Faeth profest,
(Aganes a Band, with Britons) he embrac'd.

Bot waiting vauntage, to revolt and change:
Brought Britone Varrs, they brought with thame thair Voe,
A foull Defaitt, and vonderful Revenge:
Whill to lament, the largenes of this loss,
His Croune, he with, a frierish Coull, did coss.
