John Baleoll, 96th King,
Rang the Yeer of Christ 1293, fra the begining of the Kingdome 1597, and Rang 4 Yeers.
A bass Ambition, and a blind Desire,
His Witts too waike, and Judgement small did smore:
Whill he dispensd, to Prison the Empire,
And thrall the Throne, that had been frie befoir:
O naughte, Notor, and Ignoble Nott,
Which Time, sall ay, to his Discredit quot.

ONCE he was Crownde, and callde a King, what then?
That Honor he, bot with Dishonor held:
Who did promove, and mount him, but the Man,
That both Depoisd, Imprisond and Expeld:
Him from Empire, degraded, banishde, Blam'de,
To live Afflicted, and to die, Defam'd.
