riches NINVS interprising the Conquest of Asia exercised the strongest and lustiest young men of his kingdom long before vnto armes to the perils and dangers of warre and to endure paciently all paines and trauailes The father of SESOSTRIS being aduertised by reuelation that the sonne which should be borne vnto him should be King of the whole world gathered together out of all Egipt all the

with equitie and clemencie SESOSTRIS was so braue and haughtie that whensoeuer he went to the Temple or any whether in publike he caused his chariot to be drawen by fower tributarie kings or other great Lords in steed of horses shewing thereby that none of the other Kings or Captaines was to be compared to him in vertue and prowesse Also the goings of CYRVS out of his pallace which haue since

full of rockes where there was great store of birds by whom through the will of God she was nourished almost a yeare then found by the Shepheards and brought vp by them In like maner CYRVS euen in his cradle was exposed to the beasts and left in the midst of a forest where a bitch gaue him suck and kept him till such time as a shepheard finding him brought him to his Cabin SEMIRAMIS purposing to conquer the Indies and knowing how great an interprise it was and that to put it in execution it behoued her to leuy great forces she assembled an armie of three Millions of foote fiue hundred
