Saxonicas toties qui fudit Marte cruento
_Who vanquisht Saxon troops so oft, with battels bloudie broiles,_
Turmas, & peperit spolijs sibi nomen opimis,
_And purchast to himselfe a name with warlike wealthie spoiles,_
Fulmineo toties Pictos qui contudit ense,
_Who hath with shiuering shining swoord, the Picts so oft dismaid,_
Imposuítque iugum Scoti ceruicibus ingens:
_And eke vnweldie seruile yoke on necke of Scots hath laid:_
Qui tumidos Gallos, Germanos quíque feroces
_Who Frenchmen puft with pride, and who the Germans fierce in fight_
Perculit, & Dacos bello confregit aperto:
_Discomfited, and danted Danes with maine and martiall might:_
Denique Mordredum è medio qui sustulit illud
_Who of that murdring Mordred did the vitall breath expell,_
Monstrum, horrendum, ingens, dirum, sæuúmque tyrannum,
_That monster grislie, lothsome, huge, that diresome tyrant fell,_
Hoc iacet extinctus monumento Arthurius alto,
_Heere liuelesse Arthur lies intoomd, within this statelie hearse,_
