OF ENEADOS. 6S9
Throw owt hys fclieild of pays and hawbrik fyiie,
Tliat to the grond gan dovn hys hed declyne ;
All tliocht he than full humylly hym befocht,
And fchupe to fay mekill, all was for nocht.
5 Hys pallat in the dull bedowyn llude,
And the body baithit in the hait blude
Ene ourweltis, fayand thir wordis withall,
With trublit breift and mynd ininiicall :
Now ly thow thar, that wenyt the lb wight
10 That thou was feirfull ontill euery wight.
Thy beft belovyt mother fall the not haue
To erd, as cuftum is, nor delf in grave.
Na do thy bonys honour with fik cuyr
As thame to lay in fadyrris lepultur ;
15 Bot falbe left to the wild beftis fuyd,
Or than the fpait watir of this flude
Sal bair the in the deip, and thar on raw
With empty throtis fal thy banys gnaw
Thir fey monftreys in thar wod rage.
20 And lape thy blude thar hungar to aflA^age.
Syne, but delay, Antheus and Lycas,
Quhilkis that of Turnus firft ward ledaris was.
Perfewys he, and alfo Numa bold.
And Camerthes, brycht fchynand all of gold.
25 Son of the manly Volfcens oapitan ;
In all the fertill grond Aufonyane
The richaft man, and kyng was this Volfcens
Of Amyclys the cite of filens.
And lyke as Egeon, the kyng of gyandis.
30 Quhilk had, thai fay, ane hundreth armys and hamlys
