Howe Encratydes kinge of Sithye was slayne by Demetry••s: and after his careyn cast to hound••s
NExt in ordre to bochas dyd apere
A wofull prince that put him silf in pres
Regnynge in Sithia his story doth vs lere
The name of whom was Encratides
But to dysturbe his quiete and his pes
Ageyn him pleynly as I fynde
Cam demetrius the mighty kinge of••ynde
Of whom the power and the violence
To Encratydes was very importable
Besyegyd first and for lacke of diffence
Take at myscheef his fone nat mercyable
For demetrius was on him so vengeable
Whan he was slayne within his owne boundes
Made the careyn be cast out to the houndes
Nat withstandynge he was a worthy kinge
Born of hye blode such was his auenture
Demetrius sone aboue all erthly thinge
Hatyd him by recorde of scripture
Of rancoure denyed his sepulture
And for the mater is hatefull and contrarye
On his storye I wyll no lengre tarye
