Alexander II. 94th King,

Rang the Yeer of Christ 1214, fra the beginning of the Kingdome 1554, and Rang 35 Yeer.

This Prince, thought young, zit of a wirking Wit,
With th'English Peace, he prudentlie procurd:
Bot scarcelie had, he found the fructs of it,
When they (to wrong and Violence invrde)
Brak in his Bounds, and marrd all but Remorss,
Whill he withstood, and drave thame furth, throw Force.

61

YET he accords, that People with thare Prence,
And reconferms the Fedracie with Fraunce:
Thrie times at Home, His Subjects Insolence,
He chastizes, both with the Lawes and Lance:
Vnpeaceable, and ill disposed Spreits,
With Martiall Might, he Matches and he Meits.
