Durstus, 11th King,
Rang befoir Christ 107, fra the begining of the Kingdome 224, and Rang 9 Yeers.
O what a Pest, and Prince profane he proved
This dissolute King DURSTUS in his Daies:
For all the Lords his Father FINNANE loved
He carcerats, or inhumanelie Slaies.
And Butcheour-like, his Subjects kind he kills,
So all his Land, with Facts infamous, fills.

THIS wicked Sone of such a Virtuous Sire,
Knowne for a King, by nothing but the Name:
Unworthie of Advancement or Impire,
Or t'have the Dignit' of a Diademe:
Is for his Life, polluted and profane,
Be Insurrection of his Subjects, slane.
