Ferchard II. 54th King,
Rang the Yeer of Christ 646, fra the beginning of the Kingdome 976, and Rang 18 Yeers.
A cruel Tirane, and a Tigre fell,
A Monstre that Immanetie mantainde:
A fearser of the Flesh, an Infidell,
All Doctrine of Divinity disdaind:
A bloodie beast, all Lawes and Justice smoird,
His Wife first slew, his Daughters sine defloird.

CURST for those Crimes, he but Remorse remaind,
Impenitent, all proudly he Opprest:
Bot by a Visitation straunge, constraind,
He come to knowledge, and his Faults confest:
Whill yet in him, his Wickedness and Vice,
Is punish't with, devoreing Wormes and Lice.
