Ewin III. 16th King,

Rang befoir Christ 12, fra the begining of the Kingdome 319, and Rang 7 Yeers.

How far deflecting from his Father's forme,
(A continent and uncorrupted King)

11

His leachrous Son lievde lawless and enorm,
And proov'de a Pump, Ponde and polluted Spring.
Of sensual and every other kynd
Of loathsome Lust, that filthy Flesh can fynd.
A HUNDREDTH Hours, seems insufficient,
Most horrible and inhumane to heir
His carnal Concupiscence to content,
Whairby his Disposition did appear:
Detestable, and Doggish into that
Oft surfetting, yit never saciat.
WHO ever red of suche a monstrous Man
Who monstrously, maid many monstrous Lawes:
Which manie Yeers, nor Skill nor Cvning can
Get abrogate, suche Sinne, so sweetlie schawes:
Yet Vertue once, purg'd of those Lawes this Land,
And he in blood, deit by a childish Hand.
