Malcolme I. 76th King,
Rang the Yeer of Christ 943, fra the begining of the Kingdome 1273, and Rang 9 Yeers.
A prince whose Virtue, famous made his Facts,
His Territors, he but a stroake extends:
All Bands with Danes, h' abolishes and bracks,
And Englishmen, of Foes, he made his Friends:
So Fortone flows, her Gloab, so rolling goes,
That now, new Friends, prove now, anone, new foes.

IN the English aide, he does the Danes defait,
Without respect, or sparing of his Panes:
He castigates, and with correctionn strait,
His Countries youth, from rage, of Error Ranes:
And yet this good King, Ministring his Laws,
His Throat got cutted for his Justice caus.
