The first contenys quhou the prynce Ene

And Troianys war dryve onto Cartage cite.

The secund buke schawis the finale ennoy,

The gret myscheif, and subuersioun of Troy.

The thryd tellith quhou fra Troys cite

The Troianys careit war throu owt the see.

The ferd rehersis of fair queyn Dido

The dowbill woundis, and the mortale wo.

The fyft contenys funerale gemmys glaid,

And how the fyre the navy dyd invaid.

Into the saxt buke syne doith Virgill tell,

Quhou that Eneas went and visseit hell.

The sevynt Ene bryngis to hys grond fatale,

And how Italianys Troianys schup to assale.

Ontill Eneas gevis the auchten buke

Baith falloschip and armour, quha list luke.

Dawnus son Turnus in the nynte, tak tent,

Segis new Troy, Eneas tho absent.

The tent declaris by the cost atanys

The batale betwix Tuscanys and Rutulanys.

In the ellevynt Rutulyanys beyn ourset,

By the deces of Camylla downebet.

The twelft makis end of all the weir, but dowt,

Throu the slauchtir of Turnus stern and stowt.

The last, ekit to Virgillis nowmyr evyn

By Mapheus, convoys Ene to hevyn.
