Constantine the I. 43d King,
Rang the Yeer of Christ 475, fra the begining of the Kingdome 787, and Rang 22 Yeers.
A wicked King, be nather Facts nor Fame,
For Vertue Noble, Notted nor Renound:
A sensual Sott, to his Auncestors shame
Addicted unto Dronkennes: and Dround:
(As can not be reported) into Pleasure,
Immodestlie, but any Meane or Measure.

THE Britons Bonde, he like a fool has fred,
Without adwise, or wote of wiser Witts:
Restorde thair Strengths, that stood his State in sted,
And careleslie, all Crueltie commits:
But this his Life, in Pleasure spent profane,
It made an End, in punishment and paine.
