The first King STEWART that the Croune possest,
Of Bancho's Blood and of the Bruces Borne:
The Roote wnto the Race, of all the Rest,
That since the same most worthely hes Vorne:
A Prince in whom in full Perfection Spir'd,
All Royall Wirtues, whill the State he steer'd.
HIS frequent Foes, that in his Precincts svarme,
And this his Realme, with thair Direptions Rent:
They felt the weght of his Wictorious Arme,
And heard with Horror of his Hardiment:
His Worth in Warre, and Policie in Peace,
Him-selfe, and his, ev'r gloriously shall Grace.
HIS Princely Spirit the Place, his Soul the Seat,
Of Prudence, Prowes, Measure and Remors:
His Mercie much, his Justice Good, as Great,
His Courage Constant, kyth'd wnfring'd in Force
And all his Guifts, Great, Kingly, Cardinall,
The Graces better, back't and blest Them all.
