Ferithare, 2d King,

Rang the Yeer befoir Christ 305, fra the begining of the Kingdome 26, and Rang 15 Yeers.

King FERGUS Valor and his Vertues rare,
Great Fortitude, Wit, Justice and Ingine,
Now maks thy Fame, more famous, FERITHARE,
Since in thy Actions, thay assembled shine:
Hee rulde befoir, by Right, be Reason Thou
The Scepter swayes, and dois governe it now.
THOU Rang in Rest, and holilie Thou held
Thy vowed-Word, and when th'Invious wold
True Vertue wrong, Thy Power thairs Repeld:
Vertue, in vane, is curbed or controld:
For when it is molested most, the more
It waxes then, it dois extend and store.
