91 Vortiger. 447.

THis King through murder did the Throne ascend,
And had a troublous Raigne, and murdrous end:
•••••••••••• (Constantines) lawfull Heyre and Sonne,
By vortigers false meanes to death was done.
For which (to keepe the Crowne vniustly gain'd)
The Saxons for his ayde he entertain'd.
Then Heng••st, with his Brother Horlus crue,
•••• Britaines best bloud did their blades embrew.
King Vortiger with doting loue inthral'd,
••atch't Hengists daughter, beauteous Rowan cal'd:
•••••• Saxons troopes, on troopes came in so fast,
That Britaines did depriue the King at last.

Hee murdered his lawfull Prince, and vsurping the Throne was enforced to haue ayd of the Saxons, who at the •••• almost ouer-ran this Kingdome, but the Brittaines ••••••••ed, Vortiger, and crowned his Sonne Vortimer.
