Merciaci regni, primorum{que} Regum origo & ordo.
ETiam Merciacos mihi Musa recense Tyrannos!

Ceolredus succedit: proximus illi, Ortus Ethilbaldus fratris de sanguine Pendae, Eopides! Wallos qui contudit at{que} Meatas, Occiduo tamen à Cuthredo Saxone fusus, Bernredo occisus; quem sustulit Offa tyrannum.
