Duncane II. 88th King,

Rang the Yeer of Christ 1094, fra the begining of the Kingdome 1424, and Rang 1 Yeer.

A prompt, and Pregnant Prince for Interprise,
Nought Peaceable, nor of politick Spreit:
More fierce in fight, nor in the Counsall Wise,
And more for Mars, nor for Minerua meit:
A King, that thought, no Causs decidit right,
Bot onlie by, the Fortonne of a Fight.
INCITED by, his Soveraigne Lords desire,
Concomitat, with Companies, he Came:
And did expell, th'Vsurper the Empire,
And then assumde, wnto himself the same:
Bot his disloiall Deeds, receavde thair due,
He wes betraied, becaus he tryed vntrue.
