Donald V. 70th King,
Rang the Yeer of Christ 854, fra the begining of the Kingdome 1184, and Rang 5 Years.
Forgetful quite, of his Awncestors all,
And of himself, more sensles as it seems:
H' in greater faults, and filthines did fall,
Nor goodlie can, be publishd or expreem'd:
This fleshlie Prince, that nought his place respects,
His Lieges with, his filthines infects.

YET forst to fight, aganes the English Armes,
Once with good fortune did their Pow're Repell:
Bot lo this Luck, the Victor Host more harmes,
Then thame Defaited in the field that fell:
His Companies, with Courage overcame,
Bot nather could nor wold, he vse the same.
