Dissimilis patri, Selymus regalia SceptraCorripit, et dira concutit arma manu.Faedus cum Venetis frangit (quid faedera prosunt?)Armataque manu Cypria regna rapit.Instravit tumidum numerosis classibus Aequor,Ut Naupactiacas nobilitaret aquas.
Unlike his Father, Selymus fills the ThroneBreathing where e're he march't, Destruction:His sacred League with Venice basely brakes,And (arm'd with power) the Syrian kingdomes takes;With a stupendious Fleet covers the Sea,To be a Witness to his Infamy.
Muldavum faeda mulctavit morte Dynasten:Et magni fines prorogat imperij.Obruit Hispanos multa vi: Punica regnaDestruit, et regnis adijcit illa suis.Sed nimis in venerem pronus, vinoque sepultus,Extremum properat praecipitare diem.
And to his Throne to add MoldaviaTheir noble Vayvod butcherly do's slay:And when the Spanish powrs were overthrown,They, and the Tunis Scepters were his owne:But spent with wine, with women, and with playTh'effeminate Prince Spur'd on his fatall day.
