46 In commendation of two valiant Scottish Knights, that defended their King from the Earle Gowry: Sir Thomas Erskin, Sir Iohn Ramsey.

THe Persian Monarch, who by faithfull spyall Was safe preseru'd frō slaues intended slaughter, By him whose Cousin and adopted daughter Vnwares he did endow with scepter royall; When reading in his bed a good while after, He found in true records that seruice loyall, Then with most gratefull mind to make requitall, And to increase Mardoches great renowne, Vpon his head (such was their vse that season) He caused to be set his royall Crowne. But greater should be your reward in reason; He but reueal'd, but you reueng'd a Treason.
