Edinborough Who being but young was for the King caught vp Seru'd this Kings Father all his life time through A yarde high and a nayle no more his stature Smooth fac't fayre spoken yet vnkinde by nature Two yardes in compasse and a nayle I reede Was he at forty yeeres since when I heard not Nor of his life or death and further heede Since I neuer read I looke not nor regard not But what at that time Iemy Camber was As I haue heard I le write and so let passe His head was small his hayre long on the same One eare was bigger then the other farre His fore-head full his eyes shinde like a flame His nose flat and his beard small yet grew square His lips but little and his wit was lesse But wide of mouth few teeth I must confesse His middle thicke as I haue said before Indifferent
