He had two sonnes, whose eldest called _Lud_
2 Left of his life most famous memory,
And endlesse moniments of his great good:
4 The ruin'd wals he did re{ae}difye
Of _Troynouant_, gainst force of enimy,
6 And built that gate, which of his name is hight,
By which he lyes entombed solemnly.
8 He left two sonnes, too young to rule aright,
_Androgeus_ and _Tenantius_, pictures of his might.
