From his foir-goers good, degenerd Nather,

Therefoir the Virgine King condignlie called.
HIS Montanares, of cruell kind, and bold,
Rebellious, of Stomack strong and stout:
There Outrages, he stopped and Controld:
And four times forcde, thame to the Lawes to lout:
Thus did he purches Peace, and Happie He,
Rang with good Fortone and Felicitie.
