Caratack, 18th King,
Rang the 35 Yeer of Christ, fra the begining of the Kingdome 365, and Rang 20 Yeers.
This painful Prince, Adwentrous and Wise,
(If fortunate,) most full of Fortitude:
The Romans Pride and Power did despise
And thair Attempts with stoutness still withstood:
Whill Treacherie in Trust that oftimes stands
Betraide, and puts him in Ostorious hands.

CARRIED to Rome, betraied, not o'rethrown,
Whair greater grew the Greatness of his Glorie;
Thair, for a King of Courage, he was knowne,
And so renouned in the Roman Storie.
Tane as a Foe returned as a Frend,
At Home, with Honour had a happie End.
