Athirco, 29th King,
Rang the Yeer of Christ 231, fra the begining of the Kingdome 561, and Rang 12 Years.
This Prince in his Promotion did appeer,
Enritch'd with Guifts and Roiall Graces rare:
Bot soon this Doubt dissolv'd, this Cloud did cleer,
And they as vaine, evanish'd with the Aere:
And he became both brutish and Prophane,
Unto all Kings, and to thair States, a Staine.

And they as vaine, evanish'd with the Aere:
And he became both brutish and Prophane,
Unto all Kings, and to thair States, a Staine.
LIKE Floods renforc'd, in Ribaldrie he rag'd,
A filthie Beast, effeminate, deflour'd,
Unlaughfullie the Young Ones and the Aig'd,
And forcibly the honestest behour'd:
But lo, the Lord upon this Tirran tacks
Revenge, and he himself the Murder macks.
