Which from Alcluid to Panwelt did that border bound.

Three sonnes he dying left, all vnder age; lxiv

By meanes whereof, their vncle Vortigere

Vsurpt the crowne, during their pupillage;

Which th’Infants tutors gathering to feare,

Them closely into Armorick did beare:

For dread of whom, and for those Picts annoyes,

He sent to Germanie, straunge aid to reare,

From whence eftsoones arriued here three hoyes

Of Saxons, whom he for his safetie imployes.
