Metellane, 17th King,
Rang befoir Christ 14, frome the begining of the Kingdome 326, and Rang 39 Yeers.
A humble Prince, Just, Merciful and Meek,
Preast to repaire, Abuse born with befoir;
And all his Time most seriouslie did seeke,
All notabill Enormities, to smoir:
This happie Prince, in all blot that was then,
Resisted by Lewde and Licentious Men.
Preast to repaire, Abuse born with befoir;
And all his Time most seriouslie did seeke,
All notabill Enormities, to smoir:
This happie Prince, in all blot that was then,
Resisted by Lewde and Licentious Men.
YIT still those Laws of Lust he dissallowed,
And punish'de Vice, Impietie and Wrong:
Notorious and sensual Sinns h' eschewed,
And when the World, had Rest all where, he Rang.
More fortunate, nor anie King beforne
For in his Days, the great King Christ was borne.
And punish'de Vice, Impietie and Wrong:

And when the World, had Rest all where, he Rang.
More fortunate, nor anie King beforne
For in his Days, the great King Christ was borne.
