doth so little shame me that it would haue grieued me to haue bene silent for whether it shall please thee to follow this course or some better I shall not be mooued sith I haue spoken as much as my barrennesse could bring foorth It remaineth for me and for vs all to wish that such things as thou shalt in wisedome effect the gods would prosper Caesar afterward to match his foure triumphs was made the fourth time Consul his statue also was placed amongst the statues of the auncient kings in the Senat-house there was a throne of iuorie made for him in the theater his roome was such as it contained pleasure pompe and cost his image was exquisitly painted in the Orchester a place wherein the Romaine gentlemen did vse to daunce and vaut the moneth of Iuly was then also cōsecrated to Iulius as the moneth of March is to Mars Caesar did not rest in these honors but thought still to propagate his fame by warlike exploits VVherefore hearing that Pōpeis sons did raise great tumults vprores in Spaine he made great hast thitherward at the towne of Siuill opposed himselfe to Cn. Pompeius one of the sonnes of Pompey the Great who was constrained to flye but Labienus met him at vnawares and hauing slaine him brought his head to Caesar Sex Pompeius his brother escaped by flight ⸪ ATROPOS Or the third Booke THe warre in Spaine being quickly dispatched Caesar returned to Rome and the Romanes did redouble his honours for he was presently made Dictator perpetuall Censor perpetuall Consull for ten yeares and Emperour of Rome he was called also the father of his countrie But Caesars fortunes did soone after begin to decline and these diuerse coloured titles were but as reinebowes which do glitter gallantly for a time but are suddenly extinct his fatall houre was now approching and enuie stayed in the cloudes expecting his end But as a mightie and huge oake being clad with the exuuials and trophes of enemies fenced with an armie of boughs garnished with a coate of barke as hard as steele despiseth the force and power of the windes as being onely able to dallie with the leaues and not to weaken the roote but the Northerne wind that strong champion of the airie region secretly lurking in the vault of some hollow cloud doth first murmur at this aspiring oake and then doth strike his crest with some greater strength and lastly with the deepest breath of his lungs doth blow vp the roote So vndoubtedly was it with Caesar who disdained feare and thought it a great deale better to die then to thinke on misfortune but destinie is no mans drudge and death is euery mans conqueror matching the scepter with the spade and the crowned king with the praislesse peasant As none was more noble then Caesar so nothing was more notable then the death of Caesar for his dearest friēds became his greatest enemies and their hands plucked him downe whose shoulders did lift him vp Many causes were pretended of the conspiracie bent against him the honours which were bestowed vpon him being both manie and great did cause him to be enuied of the Nobles and likewise it was a matter of cauill because sitting before temple of Venus genitrix the Senate comming to him to consult with him of great affaires he did sit and welcome them and did not rise vnto them another occasion of quarell was because M. Antonius would haue set a Diademe vpon his head the fourth cause was because he depriued Epidius Metellus and Cesetius Flauius of the Tribuneship fiftly it was greatly murmured because it was constantly reported that L. Cotta Quindecemuir that is a cōtemplatiue reader of Sybillaes prophecies would pronounce sentence that because it was contained in the prophecies of Sybilla that the Parthians could not be ouercome but by a king therefore Caesar should be highted the king of Rome For these causes a conspiracie being raised against him in which the chiefe agents of the Pompeians were M. Brutus and C. Cassius and of the Caesarians D. Brutus and C. Trebonius in the Ides of March and in the Senate-house which was called Pompeyes court he was pierced with three and twentie wounds which because they were many and most of them were in the belly and about the midrife Caesar as ashamed of such wounds did let downe his robe from his shoulders to couer them and fell as a sacrifice vnder the statue of Cn. Pompeius Magnus M. Antonius and other friends of Caesar were spared by the aduise of M. Brutus lest they might seeme rather to be authors of a faction then of Caesars death After this bloudie exploit they by whō he was slaine held the Capitolle I cannot giue Brutus praise for this but I rather thinke that he deserueth dispraise for had the cause of quailing him bene iust yet the course maner of killing him doth apparantly seeme vnlawfull for by that act the law Portia was broken by which it was prouided that it should not be lawfull for anie to put to death anie citizen of Rome indicta causa The law Cornelia de maiestate was also violated by which it was made high treason for any man to take anie aduise or make anie conspiracie whereby a Romane Magistrate or he which had a soueraigne power without iudiciall proces might suffer death And that ancient law was also despised by which it was forbidden that no Senator should enter into the Senate-house armed with any warlike weapō or hauing about him anie edged toole Surely they that will end tumult with tumult can neuer be seized of good successe or fortunate euēt for discord may breed continue augment contention but it can neuer end it and to expect that all differences should be calmely compounded by generall accord is a thing not much to be hoped for because it seldome happeneth M. Brutus the chiefe actor in Caesars tragedie was in counsel deepe in wit profound in plot politicke and one that hated the principality whereof he deuested Caesar But did Brutus looke for peace by bloudshed did he thinke to auoyd tyrannie by tumult was there no way to wound Caesar but by stabbing his own conscience no way to make Caesar odious but by incurring the same obloquie VVill anie man speake vnto me of the wisedome of Brutus when he thinketh vpō the field of Philippi wherein Brutus was like to the Comet who feeding vpon vapours vaine opinions at length consumed and confounded himself and thus were the two Bruti I meane the first and the last famous men of that honourable name both fatall to the estate of the Romane Common-weale for the former of them did expell the last king of the Romanes and the later did murder their first Emperour But if Caesars death had bene attended till naturall dissolution or iust proceeding had caused it his nephews entrie into the monarchie might well haue bene barred and intercepted because these honors were
