James V. 106. King,
Rang the Yeer of Christ 1514, fra the begining of the Kingdome 1844, and Rang 29 Yeers.
A prince Seveir, Just, and exceeding Sage,
To Pleasurs proan, and yet Politique Vise,
Began his Regne in Morning of his Age,
When all his Lands, to be lamented, lyes:
Bathed in Blood, all springing from despyte,
And strong Contending Factions of the Greate.

Began his Regne in Morning of his Age,
When all his Lands, to be lamented, lyes:
Bathed in Blood, all springing from despyte,
And strong Contending Factions of the Greate.
WITH Storms of State, distempred still, and toss't,
He made his Knoledge and his Courage knowne:
With Muteneis, and with Commotions most,
Of Stats-men strong, stifnecked of his owne:
Yet be his Justice singular Sevear,
He Chastiz'd some, and some Reform'd, for Feare.

BOT never could, (tho many tims he try'd,)
Deleit, the long Dislikings of his Lords:
Of whom the Cheefe, what he desir'd, deny'd,
And from thair bund Obedience debords:
So in this worthie, thair vn-wise Envye,
Made him in Merror, and in dolor Dye.
