Rang befoir Christ 171, fra the begining of the Kingdome 158, and Rang 12 Yeers.
A prince appeiring good when he began,
But Hipocreit, soon after six Months He:
With ane louse Raine, t'Unrighteousnes he Ran
And plainly practeis'd all Impietie:
Drunk with Desire of Murder and Mischiefe,
And with Delight, of Lust, beyonde Beleefe.

And plainly practeis'd all Impietie:
Drunk with Desire of Murder and Mischiefe,
And with Delight, of Lust, beyonde Beleefe.
BUT lo his Lords, that could not byde nor beare,
The burden of his Tirraneis extreame:
That pitiles he practeis'd heir and theare,
But sense of Sinne, or ony sight of Sheame:
Thay caught the Croune, and he affraied flies
In Britane, whair exild, distres'd he dies.
