Josine, 9th King,

Rang befoir Christ 161, fra the begining of the Kingdome 170, and Rang 24 Yeers.

A gentle King, addicted and dispois'd
To come to Knowledge in the Phisick Arte,
Whairin he much delighted and rejoisde,
And (thought a Prince) by Practeis proovde exparte:
And likewise those in Veneratioun hild,
That then war known, into that Calling, skil'd.
WHILL he Impires, his People Peace possest,
And wes not with, tempestuous Troubles tost:
Whairfoir amidst this Quietnes and Rest,
His Subjects us'd, his Exercise almost:
A Prince that did deserve farr better daies,
Then those vnlearned to express his praise.
