Nothak, 5th King,
Rang befoir Christ 233, fra the begining of the Kingdom 98, and Rang 20 Years.
When first he got the Helm into his Hand,
And was Elect, and calld into the Crowne:
He did deface the Laws into his Land,
His subjects slew, dispatched, and pat downe:
His mightie men, or thame in Prison putts,
And with thair Goods, his Greedines he glutts.

THIS leprous Life with Perfidie he fand,
Th'Eternal Truth, unpunish'd spaird not than
Nor suffred suche, a State-distroier stand,
That plaide much more, the Monstre nor the Man:
For as his Life was loathsome that he Leiv'de,
So more reproachful his Departure preiv'de.
