sent to gouerne Fraunce after a long time being coÌ„mauÌ„ded by the Senate to giue ouer he aunswered that it was Pompey his enimie leading an army in Italy repining at his authoritie in Fraunce that sought to remoue him not the Senate Yet notwithstaÌ„ding he propounded coÌ„ditions That eyther both of them shoulde reteyne their armyes to anoyde suspition of perill Or that Pompey also should leaue his power and liue a priuate life according to the lawes Obteyning neyther of these he marched out of Fraunce against Pompey and his countrey the which he inuated and hym being fledde he pursued into Thessalie and ouercame him verye victoriously in a valiant battayle whom fléeing from thence hée followed into Egipt where he was slaine of that countrey men And when he hadde tarried and set a stay among the princes of Egipt and ouerthrown his greatest enemy who for his worthynesse in the warres was surnamed Great no man nowe being bolde to do anything against him he returned to Rome and was chosen the second Dictator perpetuall after Sylla Then al sedition ceassed out of hande tyll Brutus and Cassius eyther for enuye of his greatnesse or for zeale of their countrey kylled him in the Senate house being most accepted to the people and most expert in gouernement The people of all other most lamented him required his strykers to be punished they burned his body in the common place where they erected a temple and sacrifised vnto him as to a god Then discord reuued and increased so farre as slaughter bannishmente attendures both of Senate men and Gentlemen followed confusedlye the seditious of both sides séeking to sequester his enemye he cared not howe not sparing friendes nor brethren So muche did deadly desire of debate ouerwhelme al natural friendship and alliaunce Yea they wente so farre as thrée men that is to say Lepidus Antony and he that first was called Octauius who being of Caesars bloud and his son by adoption toke of him the name of Caesar did deuide the Romaine Empire as a priuate possession after the whiche deuision falling soone out as was none other lyke Octauius Caesar excéeding them both in wysedome and experience fyrste berefte Lepidus of Liâ—bia which fell vnto him by lotte and then ouerthrew Antonie at Actio and toke froÌ„ him al the rule he had from syna to the Duke of Iomaâ— after these most mightie actes wherewith all men were amased with hys nauy he wanne Egipt the gretest kingdome and of longest continuance after Alexanders reigne and only lefte to make the Romaine state as it is by the which being yet aliue he was of the people of Rome called Augustus and the firste that so had that title He shewed himselfe to be another Caesar yea more mightie than Caesar was as wel touching the subication of his owne countrey as of all other nations not néeding any election or forme of creation to be a pretence to his doings In continuance of time being setled in his state and in all things happy and beloued he left behind him a succession and a lynage to raigne likewise after him Thus the Common welth of the Romaines after diuerse debates came to vnitie and the rule of one How these things were done I haue written gathering the most notable matter that they that lyste may sée the vnsatiable ambition of men in gréedy desire of kingdome ioyned with intollerable paynes and innumerable kindes of calamities The which I haue the rather takeÌ„ in hand bicause dealing with the Historie of Egipt and al these things going before and ending there I was compelled to make rehersal of theÌ„ For by this occasion was Egipte also conquered when Cleopatra toke parte with Antony Now bycause of the multitude of matters I haue deuided them thus The first shall shewe the thyngs done from Sempronius Gracchus to Cornelius Sylla The seconde shall conteine al the actes from that time vnto the death of Caesar The rest shall declare all the dissention that was betwéene the thrée men one against an other and the Citizens of Rome and them vntill the last and greatest feate of Ciuill force in the whyche Augustus ouercame Antonie and Cleopatra at Actio from the which time the Chronicle of Egipt shal take his beginning ¶ The Historie of Appianus Alexandrinus of the Ciuil dissentions of the Romaines The first booke WHen the Romaines first conquered Italy whych they did by little little they toke part of the land and buylded new Cities or sent of their owne people to inhabite the old that by this meane they might be sure of the countrey The grounde that was tilled eyther they distributed or sold it or let it to ferme to the inhabitants The wast which by reason of the warre was very much not hauing euer leysure to make diuision of it they proclaymed in this sort to them that would manure it For the yearely increase of séede grounde they required the tenth part For the places planted with trées and woode they would haue a fifth part For Cattel eyther great or small they appointed a tribute accordingly Thys they did for the maintenaunce of the Italian nation whom they accounted to be men of best seruice that they might always in the wars haue the vse of that were their owne but it came soone otherwise to passe for the rich meÌ„ hauing got the greater part of the vndeuided lande prosumed vpon long prescription of time that no man would molest them and the poore mens small portions lying nygh them either they boughte for a little by persuasion or they encroched to them by very violence and oppression so as now in steade of Manour places they had as it were whole countries bycause they would not haue their husbandemen called anye time awaye to the warres they bought theyr Hynes and Herdes to laboure the grounds and would not sette their countrymen to any worke at all by reason whereof theyr gaine was incredible as well for the yearely profit of their possessions as for the multitude of encrease of those slaues whyche were neuer called to y warre Thus the great meÌ„ grew excéeding riche and euery place was ful of â—crutle generation but the Italians fel into decaye and wante of men and were also oppressed with pouerty by occasion of their continuall pressing to the war and dayly exactions put vpon them And if at any time they were eased of these they felt a further incoÌ„uenieÌ„ce for where they had no land of their owne the rich meÌ„ being Lords of al and they vsing the labour of bondmen in steade of frée men the Italians were vtterly corrupted with rest ydlenes The people of Rome was much offended herewith bicause they could not haue such seruice of the Italians as they had before and whensoeuer they made any expedition abroade they were not without daunger for the great multitude of bondemen at home they could not tel
they did and drewe to the side of Antonyes Shippe where they saluted and embraced one another and the armye of Aenobarbus receyued Antony for theyr Generall yet was Plancus scarsly assured And Antonie tooke Aenobarbus into his owne ship and sayled to Poloenta where Aenobarbus had his footemen And there Aenobarbus gaue place to Antonie in the Generals tent From thence they sayled to Brunduse where was fiue bandes of Casars in garrison The Brundusians shut the gates to Aenobarbus as an auncient enimie and to Antonie as one that brought an enâ—nie Antonie tooke this pretence to be done by Caesars commaundement and therefore fortified the narrow parte of earth that ioyned to the Citie with ditche and trenche For this citie is almoste an Iland in a porte lyke a crescent whiche by lande could not be come vnto when this cliffe was cutte from it and the place fortified Antonie also did beset the hauen which is very great and all the Ilandes in it with many Castels that hée made He sent also into sundry coastes of Italy to take the fitte places and exhorted Pompey also that hée should inuade Italie as much as he coulde He gladly sent Menodorus with a great army .iiij. legions to gette Corsica which was Caesars where he tooke two legions beyng amased at this attonement with Antonie Antonies Captaynes tooke Sigunto a citie in Ausonia Pompey befleged Thurij and Cossentia placed his horsemen in their fieldes Caesar troubled in so many places at once sent Agrippa to releue Ausoniae He commaunded the Souldiours that were placed to serue but they vnderstandyng that it was done by Antonies coÌ„sent denied whiche troubled Caesar moste of all Yet he wente to Brunduse with an other army and by fayre wordes made the soldiours to go with him the whiche practised by secrete meanes to reconcile Caesar and Antonie And if Antonie woulde not they woulde sticke to Caesar who was now sicke at Canusio and had a greater armie than Antonie When he was come to Brunduse sawe how Antonie had cut off the lande from the Towne hée lay and wayted his aduersaries dayngs Antonie was stronger in munitions by the meane whereof he sente for his armie out of Macedonie and vsed this policie to put country men by nighte into his shippes bothe Galleys and other and to make a shewe of a great army to come from Macedonia and so began to beate Brunduse whereof Caesar was sory for he coulde not helpe it At that euening it was tolde that Agrippa had recouered Siguntum and that Pompey was repulsed from Thurio and that Cossence was still beséeged whereat Antony was sory And hearing that Seruilius was comming to Caesar with one thousande and two huÌ„dreth horse he could not stay but straight froÌ„ supper with greate rage tooke his fréendes and .iiij. C. horse and valiantly gaue the onset vpon a M. and v. C. and tooke them sléepyng at Vria and brought to Brunduse So great a fame was still of him for the victory hée gotte at Philippi The garde of his person would come to Caesars campe and vpbrayde them their vnkindnesse to hym that saued them at Philippi Who answeared that they did but defende themselues Then they obiected one agaynst an other The one that they were excluded from Brundusio and that the armie of Calenus was taken from them The other that Brunduse was besieged and that the coast was inuaded and aliance made with Aenobarbus a killer of Caesar and with Pompey a chief enimie At length Caesars men opened their minde to Antonies that they felowed Caesar not forgettyng Antonie beyng desirous that they might be reconciled But it Antonie would not relent they woulde do their vttermost And this talke had they in Antonies campe Whyles this was a doyng newes came that Antonies wyfe was dead who coulde not beare hys vnkyndnesse leauyng hir sicke not bidding hyr farewell Hir death was thought very coÌ„modious for them both For Fuluis was an vnquiet woman for ielousie of Cleopatra raysed suche a mortall warre Yet the matter vexed Antony bicause he was â—uÌ„pted the occasion of hir death L. Cocceius was fréend to theÌ„ both He the Sommer before was sente of Caesar with Cecinna to Antonie into Asia and Antonie sente Cecinna home kept Cocceius still He séekyng occasioÌ„ to trie Antonie told him Caesar had seÌ„t for him desired he might departe asked whether hée woulde wryte to Caesar or no Antonie was content hée should departe But as for wrytyng sayde hée what shoulde we wryte but tauntes one to an other seyng wée are nowe enimies And I wrote to hym by Cecinna the copie whereof you shall haue if you wyll I brought you letters from hym sayde Cocceius and enimie you can not take hym that vsed your brother Lucius and your other fréendes so well Why quoth Antonie hée shutteth me out of Brunduse and hath taken myne armie and prouince that Calenus kepte And where hée is good to my fréendes hée hath made them by hys benefites mine enimies Then Cocceius not mindyng furder to stirre so angry a man departed And when Caesar saw hym marueling he had tarried so long sayde â–ª I haue not saued your brother that you should become mine enimie how cal you sayd he your freÌ„ds enimies take froÌ„ them their armies prouinces wherto Caesar sayd After the death of Calenus so great a charge ought not to be giuen to so yong a man as Calenus sonne Antonie being absent Lucius Asinius Aenobarbus in armes against me As for PlaÌ„cus legions I intercepted that they shoulde not go to Pompey as the horsemen did These things were tolde otherwise to Antonie sayde he yet he beléeued nothing till he was shutte from Brunduse I knewe not of it sayde Caesar neyther did I commaunde it the Brundusians the garrison that I left could not abide him when hée brought with him Aenobarbus a killed of Caesar and a proscribed maÌ„ who after the field at Philippi beséeâ—ged Brunduse and yet troubleth the coast of Italie burned my shippes spoyled the countrey You haue sayd he coÌ„sented one to the other to make alliance with whom ye wil. Neither haue Antonie ioyned with any manqueller more than you haue for regard of your father Aenobarbus is no man killer neyther any decrée of anger made against him neither was he priuie to that purpose And if he be thought vnworthy pardon bicause he was fréend to Brutus then must we sée whether al other be not in his case CoÌ„federacie is made with Pompey not to hurte you but if you make warre vpon Antonie to haue his societie if not to reconcile hym to you who is boyde of faulte but you are in the faulte For if warre had not bene made in Italie they durste neuer haue sente Embassages to Antonie Caesar replied and sayde that Fuluia Lucius and Manius began the warre in Italy And Pompey durst neuer before inuade the coast of
to hym by Niger his messenger When Cleopatra heard this fearing that if Octauia came she would put hir out of conceyt she bestirred hir she pined hirselfe she wepte and wayled and woulde néedes dye for Antonyes sake who sayd he would take his iourney in hand Some there were that blamed Antony as rude and hard harted that hâ—e would put so louing a Lady and so great a Quéene in danger of hir life eyther for his wiues sake or for anye other cause in so muche as Antony was made a tame foole and deferred vnto the next sommer his expedition and returned to Alexandria to winter with Cleopatra Now was Octauia returned to Rome hir brother willed hir to goe to hir owne house but she went to Antonyes house which she kept with so good order and cherishing as well the children he had by Fuluia as by hir selfe as it did aggrauate the fault of Antony that he woulde forsake so vertuous a Romane Lady for an Egiptian straÌ„ger Octauia desired hir brother that if there were none other cause of warre but by hir that he would not moue it for she should beare the blame Therefore â—â— all requests she did help Antonyes friends whereby vnwillingly she hindered Antony who was nowe so fonde waxen as hée woulde haue Cleopatra called by the name of the Goddesse Isis Quéene of Aegypt Cyprus Affrâ—ke and Caelosiria and Caesarion whome it was thought she hadde by Iulius Caesar to be hir companion in these Kingdomes The sonnes that he hadde by hir he called Kings of Kings To Alexander Armenia Mediâ— Parthia to Pâ—olomeo Phâ—enitia Syria Cilicia he appoynted In Rome Caesar accused him of this geare before the Senate Antony by letters accused Caesar likewise First â–ª that he had not made him partaker of Sicilia â–ª out of the which he â—ad wrong Pompey Then y he had not restored the Shyppes which he had lent him Thirdlye that hauing deposed Lepâ—dus his fellow in authoritie he kepte those profites and prouinces to his owne vse and that he had diuided Italy to his owne souldioures and not remembred his To these Caesar answered that bycause Lâ—pidus ruled out of order hée had broughte him to order his prouinces he woulde participate with him when he would diuide with him Armenia â–ª As for hys Souldyoures they hadde no portion in Italy no more than he in Media Parâ—hâ—a WheÌ„ Antony heard of this he sent by by Canidius with xvj legions to the sea He carrying Cleopatra wyth hym wente to Ephesus whither all his Nauie assembled to the number of eyght hundred shippes of burden of the which Cleopatra gaue him two hundreth and two hundreth talentes for the expences of the warre Domitius and other of Antonyes counsell woulde haue had Cleopatra to haue gâ—ne to Egypt till the warre were ended But she corrupted Cantdius to tell him that it was not honorable to remoue hir that was at suche charge for the warre nor sure to exaâ—perate the Egyptians mindâ—s in whome was great part of his forces by sea So Antony must liue wyth Cleopatra â—â—l they were both brought to death From Ephesus they wente to Samâ— where they made lusty théere For as all Kings Princes and prouinces were commanded to bring all maner of munition for the warre thither euen so all kind of players and

that she should â—e any cause of the warre The people lamented bothe hir and Antonie specially they that had seene â—leopatra who did not excell Octauia neyther in beautie nor in floure of yeares Caesar Octauius was afrayde when he heard of Antonies expedition and great preparation for he had nothyng ready nor money to prepare in gathering of the whiche if Antonie had come on Caesar had bene in great daunger For whyles money is so eâ—acted men are tumultours but when it is gathered they be quiet Therefore it was thought a greate folie in Antonie to detract the time But what shal a man say That that wil be shal be Titius and Plancus twoo chiefe aboute Antonie and they that gaue him aduise he should send Cleopatra away fledde from him to Caesar bycause Cleopatra began to maligne at them and they did bewray Antonies Testament being priuie to it It was kept of the Uirgines Uestalles to whome Caesar sente to haue it they would not deliuer it if he woulde take it from them hée might So he went and tooke it away and first by himselfe redde it and noted what might be sayde agaynst it Then he called the Senate and redde it openly whereat many were grieued thinkyng it not reasonable that a mans minde for his death shoulde bée scanned whylest he was aliue The greatest faulte that was founde was this that he had willed wheresoeuer he died that his body should be caried to Alexandria and sente tâ— Cleopatra Furthermore one Caluisius a fréende of Caesars obiected agaynst Antoniâ— That he had giuen hir the Librarie of Pâ—rgamo in the whiche was two hundred thousand bookes That he would rise from the table and tâ—ample vpon hir féete by compacte That he suffered the Ephesians in his presence to call hir Soueraigne That when hâ—gaue audienâ—e to Kings and Pâ—iâ—ces he woulde receyue letters of loue from hir written in tables of pearle and Cristall and reade them That when Furnius a man of authoritie in Rome and very eloquent did pleade a cause before him â—leâ—pâ—tra came by in a litter he left the court and â—aâ—â—e downe â—â—â—â—â— and lâ—â—nyng â—pon â—â—e lâ—tter went away with hir Many men thought Caluisius forged these crimes Therefore Antonies

There was out of Sybils bookes an olde saying that the Parthians shoulde not be ouercome till a Kyng went against them wherefore some there were so bold to saye that as it was expedient for the Romaines to call him Dictator or Imperator or anye other name in stead of a King so that all nations subiect to the Romaine Empire should call hym king Hée refused this also and made hast to his iourney bycause he sawe he was enuyed in the Citie but whereas be tarried till the appoynted time his enimies killed him foure dayes before in â—â—â— Senate house eyther for enuie which commonly accompanyeth such felicitie auctoritie or as they said for the loue of their couÌ„treys libertie For now they knew well that thoughe hée did not ouercome those nations without doubte he woulde be a king And for this cause I thinke they tooke the enterprise agaynste him vnder the pretence of that name for thoughe hée was but Dictator in degrée it was as much as a Kyng in déede There were two chiefe in that conspiracy Marcus Brutus Cepio sonne to Brutus that was killed of Sylla whiche fled to Caesar after the calamitie of Pharsalo field and Caius Cassius that delyuered hys galleis into Caesars hand at Hellespont These two were afore of Pompeys part and now much honoured of Caesar Decimus Brutus Albinus alwayes thoughte worthy of Caesar to be vsed in honor and credite and had great affaires committed to them and in the wars in Lybia trusted them wyth armies and made them Gouernours of Prouinces Decimus of France beyond the Alpes Brutus of the same on thys side the Alpes Brutus and Cassius béeyng Pretors contended for the superioritie of the place eyther indéede who shoulde be higher or else for a pretence that they shoulde séeme to be no friendes Caesar setting order betwixte them said to hys friendes Cassius desireth right but Brutus muste be pleased With so great loue and honour did Caesar vse hym that of some he was compted hys son bicause he loued very wel Seruilia Catos sister and Brutus mother Therfore when he got the victory at Pharsalo hée gaue greate charge to hys Captayns that in any wise they should saue Brutus But Brutus either as an ingrate man or ignorant of his mothers faulte or distrustfull or ashamed or very desirous of his couÌ„trys libertie preferring it before all other things or that he was descended of the auntient Brutus that droue out the Kings or that he was incensed and rebuked of the people for manye things were written vppon the Images of olde Brutus and in the Courte hall of this Brutus secretly set vp Brutus thou takest rewardes Brutus thou arte dead O Brutus I woulde thou were aliue nowe Brutus what vnworthy posterity hast thou Brutus thou arte not come of hym These and many other lyke did inflame the yong mans mind to take the worke in hande as from his progenitor The same of making him King did still encrease and that there woulde be a Counsell for it a little before the which Cassius tooke Brutus by the hand and sayd Brutus what shall we do in that counsell shall we as Casars slatterers agrée to make hym Kyng Brutus answered I would not be at that Counsell Cassius being cheared with those wordes said what if they call vs as Officers what shall we do good Brutus I wyll quoth he defend my Countrey euen to the death Then Cassius embraced hym saying Whom wilâ—e thou take of the best being of this opinion doest thou thinke that artificers and light people do set those writings vpon thy JudgemeÌ„t place rather thaÌ„ the best Citizens of Rome which of other Pretors do looke for shews and pastunes of horse and wilde beasts but of thée they require liberty as a worke worthy thine auncestors After they had thus firste opened what they had long kept in their minds before they then dealte plamely and eche of them proued his own friends and some of Caesars whome they knewe to be méete for a bolde enterprise and they got of their friendes two brethren Cecilius and Bucâ—lâ—â—â—us theÌ„ Râ—brius Riga Q.

Pompey and hearing of Caesars sacrifices and the differing of the Senate were in greate doubte and one that was there tooke Casca by the hande and sayde vnto hym woulde you kéepe it from me that am your friende Brutus tolde me Casca was in a sodayne passion that he knewe it then he saite more to hym simlyng where wyl you haue money for your office of Edilis and Casca tolde him Brutus and Cassius beyng togither and in talke one of the Senators Publius Laenas sayde hée wished well to that they had in their mindes and exhorted them to dispatch it They being much amazed helde their peace for anguishe As Caesar came forth one of hys familiars vnderstanding of the conspiracie and vsing to tel what hée hearte wente to Calphurnia and saide onelye thys bycause the matter touched Caesar much he would tarry til he came from the Senate for he knew not al that was wrought against him And one Artemidorus that was his hoste in Guido ranne vnto the Counsell house and found hym newe slaine Of another a booke of the Conspiracie was deliuered as he made haste into the Senate whiche was founde againe in hys hande when hée was dead And came out of his Litter Laenâ— that had wished wel before to Cassius came vnto hym and talked verye earnestlye wyth him the sight wherof did trouble theÌ„ and the length of the talke made them winke one at another to dispatche themselues before they should be taken But perceyuing by the manner that Laena was liker to speake for himselfe and make supplication than to bewray them they stayed and in the ende when they saw hym giue humble thankes they were encouraged againe It was the custome that Rulers of the Citie shoulde sacrifice when they went to the Senate And agayne in Caesars firste sacrifice there was no harte or as some say no heade of the entrailes and wheÌ„ the Diuinor said it was a signe of death hée smiled and sayde so it was in Spaine when I ouerthrewe Pompey and the Diuinor aunswering that then he was in perill indéede and nowe the token was more manifest Caesar bad hym sacrifice againe nothing appearing better than it was being ashamed y he made y Senate tarry for hym being hastned of his enmies as though they had bin friâ—ds in dispight of his enimies he went in For it must needes come that was determined They left Trebonius to entertaine Antony without the dores and when Caesar was sâ—â—â— hys seate they stoode aboute him as hys friends with weapons hid and first Attilius Cymber stood before him made sute for hys brothers returne that was banished Caesar being against it vtterly denying it hée tooke hym by the purple robe as he would haue made more sute he rufded the garment and pulled it ouer his necke crying Why staye you O frieÌ„ds Casca came ouer his head first thrust his dagger at his throat which missing hit him on y breast Caesar twitching his gown froÌ„ Cimbro catching Casca by y hand flung froÌ„ his seate with great violeÌ„ce layd hold vpon Casca Whiles he was doing this wrestling with him another stroke him on the side that laye open and Cassius hurte him in the face and Brutus on the thyghe and Bucolinus betwéene the shoulders yet Caesar with rage and reare like a wilde beaste stepped to euery of theÌ„ but after Brutus had hurt him as thoughe then hée had dispaired he wrapte himself in his gowne and fell comely before the picture of Pompey and they when he was downe vsed such despite as they gaue him three and twentie woundes and many were so hastie that they hurte one another When this act was done by these murderers in a sacred place vpon a sacred and inuiolate man by and by there was fléeing from the Senate house and about all the Citie and in the tumulte some Senatours were hurt and other men were killed and there was muche slaughter done both of Citizens and straugers not of purpose but as happeneth in such a Ciuill stir when one commeth vpoÌ„ another ignorauntly The sworde players that had bene in armour from the morning for the shewe of certaine playes ranne from the game place to the barres of the Senate house the people that came to the playes driuen into a feare fledde away shoppes were spoyled al dores were shutte and preparation made for defence from the house toppes Antony went to his owne house entending to take aduice for this case of Caesars Lepidus the Captaine of horsemen being in the coÌ„mon place and hearing what was done ranne to the I le within the Cytie where he had a legion and brought them abroade to be ready at Antonies commaundement For he did cleaue to Antony as Caesars friende and chiefly as Consull Being mette togyther they had greate desire to reuenge Caesars death that thus was handled They feared the Senate woulde take the killers parte therfore they would stay to consider of it There were no souldiours about Caesar for he delighted not in a garde but only vsed the Sergeants of his aucthoritye and when he wente from his house to the Senate he was wayted on with manye of the magistrates and great number of people as wel Citizens as straungers and of seruauntes and frée men in great multitude all the which fléeing away by heapes only thrée seruauntes taried which layd his body in the litter Thus thrée men not suteable did carie him home that a little before was Lorde of sea and lande The murderers woulde haue sayde somewhat in the Senate house but no maÌ„ wold tarry to heare They wrapt their gowns about their left armes as Targets and hauyng their daggers bloudy cryed they had kylled a king and a Tyranne and one bare an hatte vpon a speare in token of Libertie Then they exhorted them to the common wealth of their countrey and remembred olde Brutus and the oth made againste the old Kings Some went among them shewing their daggers who though they were not at the fact yet woulde they haue parte of the prayse as Lentulus Spintor Fauorinus Aquinus Dolobella Murcus and Peticus who wer not then partakers of the glorie but afterwarde tasted of the punishment with the offenders The common people came not to them which made them the more doubtful and in feare As for the Senate although for ignoraunce and tumult they were fled yet they had good truste in theÌ„ as in their kinsefolkes and friends and such as could as euil beare Tirannie as they but the people they suspected and as many as had serued Caesar in warre whereof there were not a fewe then present in the Citie some discharged of the warfare were appointed to habitations and some that had bin at their dwelling places were now come again to go the iourney wyth Caesar They were afrayde also of Lepidus and his army in the
more made request for peace to whom he thus sayd Of that we will consider as shall be fitte to be and what it is that it may auayle but the suretie of it is hard to be found since neyther oth nor execration could profit Caesar and to them that called for reuenge he turned and commended them as more carefull of their othes and honestie I would be quoth he youre Captayne and crye as you do but that I am a Consul to whome belongeth rather to speake for profite than for iustice for so doe they within persuade vs and so Caesar himselfe for the profite of the Citie sparing them that he hadde taken in warre was of the same destroyed Thus wrought Antony artificially they that thoughte the fact to be punished required Lepidus that he would punishe it Lepidus intending to speake they that stoode farre off prayed hym to goe into the common place that all might heare him indifferently He wente straight forth with opinion that the peoples minds were new turned and when he was come to the place of spéech he lamented wéeping and thus sayd Heere I was yesterday with Caesar and now am I héere to enquire of Caesars deathe what will you haue done many cryed that they should reuenge Caesar The hyred men cryed for peace in the Citie to whome hée sayd we will so but what peace speake you of with what othes can it be sure for all our Countrey othes we haâ—e sworne to Caesar and we that are compted the least of them that did sweare haue troden all vnder the foote Then he turned to them that cryed for reuenge â–ª Caesar sayd he is gone from vs an holy and honored man in déede and we be afrayd to hurte the Citie and them that be left This do the Senate treate of and manye thinkes it good then they cryed that he alone should take it in hand I wyll sayd he for it is a iust oth to me alone but it is not ynough that I and you alone doe will it or that we alone can fulfill it â—andling the matter thus craftâ—ly the hyred men knowing that he was ambitioue praysed him and exhorted him to take the office of Caesars Priesthode of the which he being very glad sayde You shall remember me of this héereafter if I shall be worthy of it They that were hired were the more instant for peace bycause of the liberall spéech of the Priesthoode Then sayde he although it be vniust and wicked yet will I doe it bycause you will me This said he returned into the Senate house where Dolabella all that time had bin importune for the continuance of his office Antony gathering the peoples humor looked ouer hym wyth a smiling countenance and finding them to dissent among themselues and the people to doe nothing earnestly hauing beholden all sufficiently he determined to saue the meÌ„ hiding one necessitie with another that both they shuld be saued by especial grace and that Caesars actes should be coÌ„firmed by decrée the Senates orders take effect therfore silence being coÌ„manded he sayd thus Of the Citizens offendoures you men of equall honor in this your consultation I haue sayd nothing but to them that contrarywise desired a tryall of Caesar I put forthe onely one of his decrées which hath not withoute cause kept you in contention tyll this time for if we doe refuse those offices we shall confesse so many worthy men vnworthily to haue receyued them Then coÌ„sider that is not easie to be hard and number in your mindes the Cities the nations the kingdomes the regions and as I maye say all things froÌ„ the East to the Weast y Caesar had by his vertue vanquished for vs and all that by his power subdued the same by law clemencie and curtesie he made assured vnto hym Which of these do you thinke wil beare to be depriued y things they haue enioyed vnlesse you wil fyll all with warres that are desirous to heale youre countrey that is nowe most féeble wyth disease Those that be farre off and kepte downe with feare and fight I wil omitte to touch but those that be not at haÌ„d only and as I may say euen at home through out all Italy some haue receyued rewards of victory and by multitudes with the armies wherewith they serued be of Caesar appoynted habitations by the same institution whereof many a thousand be within this citie what do you thinke they wil do if you take from them that they had or that they looked to haue of Cities and Countreys Thys last night did shew vs an Image of this matter for wheÌ„ you did intreate for the offendoures they on the contrary ranne aboute with threatnings Do you thinke they can abide to sée Caesars body violated torne vnburyed for these things by law are wente to be done againste Tyrants whiche haue serued in the warres with him and to haue the gayne gotten by the victories of France and England confirmed vnto them when he that was the gyuer of them is so despightfully handled what thinke you the people of Rome will do what thinke you the Italians what hate shal you haue both of God and man if you do so defile your empire enlarged from the Oceane sea to the people vnknowen for you shall not lacke reproufe and blame for this youre inconstancie more than they that thinke you worthy honor that killed a Consull in the Counsell house an holye man in an holy place Senatoures being the doers in the sighte of the Gods and dishonor him that of his enimies is most honored from these things as vnlawfull and not in your power I do warne you to refrayne Then thys sentence I giue that Caesars actes and decrées doe remayne firme and stable that the offenders be praysed in no wise for it is not godly iust not consonant Caesars actes being ratified that of mercye onely you will pardon them for their friends and kinsfolkes sake so as they do so accept it and will of theÌ„ confesse it in thaÌ„keful part When Antony had said this with great contention and vehemency the decrée was made all other being silent and content That there should be no action for Caesars death That all his actes and decrées should be confirmed so as they were commodious for the citie And this with much adoe did the friends of the offendoures cause to be added for their safetie that they were not more kepte for iustice sake than for profite Antony gaue place vnto it These being decrées they that were heads of men to be set in habitations desired a priuate decrée by common authoritie that their places of inhabitance myghte bée made sure vnto them and Antony was not agaynste it shewing some feare with the Senate This decrée was made and another like for them that went to their inhabitations The Counsell being thus broken vp there were some that persâ—oded Lucius Piso to whome Caesar had lest his Testamente that it
Ciuill strifes that the Romaines had among theÌ„selues The Senate blamed Antony for the funerall of Caesar by the which the people was so stirred as they did forthwith despise the law of Obliuion and ranne with fire to the houses of the strykers This vnkindnesse with one inuention he turned into beneuolence Amatius a couÌ„terfaite Mariane pretending to be Marius sonne was for that name accepted of the people by this counterfaiting being taken as a kinsman to Caesar he made most mone for his death and set vp an Aulter where he was buried He had a rowte of Râ—â—â—ians about him was euer terrible to the killers of the whiche some were fled out of the citie and so many as had by Caesar the gouernment of prouinces were gone to their charges Decimus Brutus was gone to Fraunce next Italie Trebonius into Asia aboute Ionia Tullius Cimber into Bythinia But Cassius Marcus Brutus with whome the Senate bare most and were likewise chosen of Caesar to be Presidents for the yéere to come â–ª as Cassius in Syria Brutus in Macedonia being yet officers in Rome of necessitie and law as Pretors must attend vpon the dispatch of theÌ„ that should haue places appointed to liue in gaue audience to anye other that made suâ—e to sell the partes of their places which by law was forbiddeÌ„ to be done within .xx. yeres With these Amatius did conspire only eâ—â—pected occasioÌ„ At the talke of this coÌ„spiracy Antony as Consul came vpon them apprehended Amâ—â—io without iudgemeÌ„t put him to death very stoutly The Senate marueled at this matter as great beside law yet the commoditie of it they embraced very ioyfully for without such stoutnesse they thought Brutus Cassius could not be in safetie The companions of Amatius and other people with them for the loue of him were much greued at this fact chiefly that Antony should so dispatche one that was honoured of the people They could not abide so to be despised wherefore with shoutes they went crying out of Antony commaunded the Magistrate to erect an aulter to Amatio there to make the firste sacrifice to Caesar They were driuen out of the common place by the souldiours that were sent of Antony wherewith they were more greued and made greater noyse some of them brought forth the settles of Caesars pictures pulled downe and whereas one sayde he could bring them to a shop where his images were defaced they straight way followed him when they saw it they set al a fire till other were sent of Antony which killed parte of theÌ„ that stoode to their defence and parte they tooke as many as were bonde they hanged and the frée men they threw downe headlong and thus this tumult ceased But extréeme hate of excéeding loue was now wrought in the people agaynst Antony The Senate was glad as though there was none other feare to be had touchyng Brutus and Cassius And further where Antony purposed to call home Sextus Pompey sonne to Pompey the great who yet was loued of al meÌ„ out of Spayne where still he made warre with Caesars Capitaynes and for his fathers goods confiscate to giue him of the common fiue thousand millions of Drammes of Athens and to make him admirall of the sea as his father was and to vse the Romaine nauies where so euer they were to al occasions The Senate not a litle marueled â–ª accepted his offer spending an whole day in the prayse of Antony for they knewe no man more accepted nor better beloued of the people than Pompey Brutus and Cassius the most honorable of all other of Pompeis faction thought to holde their safetie with sure hande and that the course that they had takeÌ„ should preuayle and the peoples authoritie be surely coÌ„firmed and that their estate should stande Cicero for this made continuall prayse of Antony and the Senate consideryng that the people euidently did meane euill to him gaue him leaue to chose him a gard for his person of the olde Souldiours that resorted to him he eyther bycause he had done all to this ende or for that he would embrace this occasion so fauourable picked out at length a garde of .vj. M. not of the common Citizens whom he knew he might haue at his pleasure at any other time but of all the leaders and Captaynes of experience and estimation in Caesars army Of these hée chose chiefe officers in comely order whome he vsed honorably and made them partakers of ordinary Counsels The Senate dryuen into a iealousie for this number and choyse counsayled hym to reduce this garde as enuious to a conueuient number he promysed so to doe when he had quieted the tumultes of the people Nowe where by decrée he had stablished all that Caesar had done and would doe and had the wrytings of memoriall in his custodie and â—â—â—aberius Caesars Secretary at his commaundement for Caesar goyng away lefte all his determinations with Antony he added many things to the behoofe of many men he gaue graunts to Cities Princes and to his owne garde And he made knowne to all them that coulde clayme any thyng by Caesars assignation that they takyng the benefite might yéelde him the thankes and by this meane he brought many into the Senate and degrée to himselfe the other he wan with faire promise that they did no more maligne agaynst his garde Brutus Cassius perceiuing nothing neither of the people nor of the soldiours to appeare peaceable for theÌ„ neither vnlikely but y coÌ„spiracie of Amatio might be done against theÌ„ by some other neither well abiding variable Antony that bare himself so boldly of his army nor seyng that the peoples rule could be coÌ„firmed by these doings but suspecting that Antony wrought against it they put their chiefe trust in Decimo who had thrée Legions lying in the sides of Italy They wrote secretely to Trebonius in Asia and to Tullius in â—ythinia to gather money closely and loke aboute for an armye They were desirous to take the prouinces that Caesar had appointed theÌ„ but y time did not yet suffer them They thought it not conuenient to leaue their office in the Citie before the end of the same and to run into suspition of desire of rule of nations They chose rather for their necessitie to spende the meane time as priuate men than to be officers in the Citie where they could neyther be sure of themselues nor do anye thing to their honour in the seruice of their countrey Being in this case and the Senate perceyuing their minde they thought good to make theÌ„ purueyers of grain for the Citie from euery countrey til the time might serue theÌ„ to take the charge of their prouinces and thus they did that Brutus and Cassius shoulde not séeme to flée So great a care and reuerence was there of them that for them chiefly they mayntained the other killers
When Brutus and Cassius wer gone out of the Citie and Antony nowe alone ruled all he coueted the presidentship of some prouince and the armye therof he was chiefly desirous of Syria but knowing he was alredy suspected he thought he should be more if he required any for the Senat had secretly wrought Dolobella to be against him who was the other Consul and always at strife with Antony Antony seing that Dolobella was a yong man and ambitious perswaded him to aske Syria in Cassius place and their army that was made againste the Parthians but not to aske it of the Senate for that was not expedient but of y people by a law He was perswaded by and by and propounded the lawe The Senate aleaged that he brake Caesars actes he answered that the war of Parthi◠was appointed to no man by Caesar and that Cassius who was sent to Syria was the first that had altered Caesars decrées in giuing leaue to them that wer assigned dwellings in the coūtry to sel their portions before twenty yeares determined by law that he could not take it wel being Dolobella not to be thought worthy of Syria before Cassius The Senate persuaded Asprin◠one of the Tribunes to find a fault in the assebly by some tokē hoping that Antony would haue allowed it being Consul and officer of the tokens and stil as they thought at variance with Dolobella The electiō now being come Asprina affirming the tokē to be vnlucky then the maner was to send other into it Antony was angry at the subtilty cōmaunded the cōpanies to make choyce for Dolobella And so was Dolabella made president of Syria and generall of the army against the Parthians and of the legions that Caesar had gathered for this purpose and left in Macedonia This was the first time that Antony séemed to fauoure Dolabella This being done of the people Antony required Macedonia of the Senate thinking they would be ashamed to denye it him séeing Dolabella had Syria and nowe voyde of an office The Senate gaue it him vnwillingly and maruelled that he woulde deliuer the armye that was there to Dolabella whome yet they were glad shoulde haue it before Antony Nowe Brutus friendes thought good to aske Antony other prouinces for Brutus and Cassius so Cyrene and Creta was giuen them or as some saye both Creta and Syrene to Cassius and Bythinia to Brutus And these were the doings at Rome Octauius Caesars sisters nephew was made of Caesar generall of the horsemen for one yeare and this honor Caesar vsed to gyue to his friends from yeare to yeare He being yet yong was sent of Caesar to Velona to apply his booke and to be trayned in feates of warre there to remayne whilest he wente againste his enimies and to exercise himselfe with the bands of Horsemen that came from Macedonia with other great Captaynes of the armie that resorted thither to visit hym as Caesars kinsman whereby he was knowen to many and wanne the loue of the army for he receyued them that came to him with great curtesie Hauing bin now sixe monethes in Velona about the euening it was told that Caesar was slayne in the Senate house of them that he loued best and might doe most with hym Of further matter nothyng being yet tolde he stoode in feare and doubt whether it were the whole publike worke of the Senate or some priuate practise or whether the doers were punished of the more parte or whose acte it was or whether the multitude did ioyne with them After thys his friendes sente to hym from Rome wishing him to goe to the host of Macedonia for his suretie in the which place after it shuld be knowen that it was no common fact he might be a terror to his enimies in reuenging of Caesar and diuers of the Captaynes promised him that if he woulde come to them they woulde sée hym safe His Mother and Philip his Father in lawe wrote vnto him to take nothing vpon him nor to be encouraged remembring that after Caesar hadde ouercome his enimies he was thus vsed of his déerest friendes The priuate life at this prosent was further off from perill and nowe rather to be chosen and if he were with them at Rome he should be well kept Octauius by these persuaded without further knowledge what was done after Caesars deathe embracing the Captaynes sayled ouer the Ionian Sea not taking land at Brunduse bycause he did not trust the army that was there and therefore was well ware but at another Citie not farre off called Lupio where he stayed and receyued aduertisementes from his friends of Caesars deathe of the peoples tumult of the publication of his testamente and of the orders taken and was aduised to beware of Caesars enimies bycause he was named his sonne and heire counselled him not to take the inheritance vpon him But he thinking it a dishonor as wel of this as not to reuēge Caesars death wēt to Brunduse sēdyng afore to search that there should be none of the strikers in anye awaite The army of that place did méete him and receyued him as Caesars sonne where with good courage he made sacrifice and straightway accepted the name of Caesar for the Romaines vsed to giue their name to them whome they made their children by adoption which he did not only admitte but changed his name frō Octauius Octauius sonne to Caesar Caesars sonne which continued till his ende By and by was there great repaire of mē to him some as Caesars friendes some as his seruantes and fréemade men and some souldioures with them some bringing preparation money toward Macedonia and some other reuenues of other prouinces to Brunduse He then trusting vpon the multitude that came vnto him and in Caesars glory and in the beneuolence of all mē to him tooke his iourney toward Rome accompanyed with a conuenient number which dayly like a streame did increase being safe from open force by the multitude of people not without suspitiō of deceypt bycause all that came with him almost were of newe acquaintāce and euery citie did not fauour him But Caesars souldioures and such as were by his appoyntmēt placed came from the habitations to the fauour of this yong man They lamented for Caesar and complayned of Antony that woulde not reuenge so great a mischiefe affirming that they if any man woulde be their guide would reuenge his death Octauius Caesar gaue them great prayse and willed thē to be quiet for the time and came to Terracina about fiftie miles from Rome where it was told him that Syria and Macedonia was taken from Brutus Cassius by the Consuls and that to comforte them Creta and Syrene were graunted them and that certayne banished men were reuoked and that Pompey was restored and that many were made Senatoures by Caesars determination and diuers other things Being come to Rome his mother Philip and their
friendes came vnto him and againe prayed him not to dissente from the Senate bycause it was decréed that there shoulde be no question of Caesars deathe Further they feared Antony and his power who neyther came himselfe to méete Caesars sonne nor sent any man to receyue hym all the whiche Octauius tooke very temperately and said it was méete that he should goe first to Antony as a yong man to an elder and a priuate man to a Consul and that he would obserue y Senate as should be conuenient And though quoth he there be a decrée that no man should persecute the killers and yet if anye maÌ„ durst take it in hand bath the people and the Senate by law and the goods by iustice yea and peraduenture Antony also wyll be helps to it if he did refuse the inheritaÌ„ce adoptioÌ„ he should offend againste Caesar defraude the people of their distribution In the end he knit vp his spéech that it was not onely honest for him to put himselfe in daÌ„ger for this matter but also if néede be to lose his life otherwise he should séeme vnworthy the choyce y Caesar had made of him in so great matters séeing he himself was wont to contemne all maner of perill Then turning to his mother he rehearsed those words that Achilles spake to Thetis I do rather wish of my life an ende Than I should omitte reuengement of my friend This word quoth he did winne Achilles immortall fame but much more the déede and that he ought to reuenge Caesar not as a friende but as a father not as a fellowe Souldiour but as a Generall not dying by lawe of warre but murthered wickedly in the Senate house For this spéeche his mother from feare turned to you embraced him affirming he only was worthy for Caesar This talke being ended she prayed that all myghte haue lucky and prosperous successe with spéede yet she perswaded him at the firste rather to vse policie and sufferance than playnenesse and boldnesse when he commending hir aunswered he would so do In the nighte he sent to his friendes and prayed them the nexte morning to be with him in the coÌ„mon place wyth the other multitude In that place méeting with Caius Antonius brother to Marcus Antonius a Pretor of the Citie he sayde vnto him that he did accept the adoption of Caesar for it was the manner of Rome that the adopted children should exhibite testimonie to the Pretors which beyng registred he straighte wente out of the common place to Antony the other Conâ—ull who was then in Pompeys gardings whiche Caesar had giuen him and when hée had tarryed at the gate a long whyle he entred into a suspition of Antonies alteration Being at length lette in due salutations and intretaynmeÌ„ts were betwéene them and bycause they must talke of things that were expedient Octauius Caesar sayd thus I Father Antony for the benefites that Caesar shewed to thée and the thankes thou gauest to him requiring thée to be a father to râ—e do prayse thée for the things thou hast done for him and I will be thy debtor of thankes for them but wherein I maye blame thée I will speake it frankely for dolor doth thereto driue me When he was slayne thou wast not present the quellers holding thée withoute the dores for eyther shouldest thou haue saued him or haue bin in the like daunger thy selfe of the whych if the latter must haue happened It is well now that thou wast absente When some decréed them to be honored as againste a Tyrant â–ª thou denyedst it effectually for the whych I know thou deseruest cléere thankes but if thou knowest that those men did conspire thy death not as one that woulde reuenge Caesar as we thinke then were they not Tyrantkillers and for that they fled to the Capitoll as to a Sanctuary like offendors crauing mercâ—e or into a sorte as enimies for their strength wherefore obliuion and acquitall of the murther was required for theÌ„ though some of the Senate or the people were corrupted of them and if thou hadst bin otherwise minded thy office did require thee to punish so great a fault and to correct them that did erre yet diddest thou send pledges of thine owne into the Capitoll for the assurance of the manquellers Well graunt the corrupted sort did force thée to it but when Caesars Testament was redde and thou madest his funerall Oration as righte was and the people for the fresh memorie of Caesar carryed a fire againste them and for their neyghboures sake spared them and agayne they were in armes twice the next day why didst not thou help the people as their leader with fire or armoure to punishe the murtherers if any punishment ought to be of them that are euident offendors by thée a friende to Caesar a Consull and Antony Marius Amatius by commaundement of thy great power was put to deathe but the quellers thou susferedst to slée and to runne to certayne prouinces which wrongfully they holde hauing killed him that gaue them Syria and Macedonia thou and Dolabella doyng well when thinges were setled tooke from them for the whiche I would thanke thée if thou hadst not straight appoynted them to Creta and Cyrene and thought fugitiues worthy prouinces euer to be as garrisons against me Decimus hauyng France our neybour you haue suffered he also being made ruler of that and other by my father but some will say the Senate did determine it yea and thou didst confirme it and satest as chiefe in that Senate the which thou chiefly of all others for thy selfe oughtest to haue resisted To giue them obliuion of their faulâ—o was as a granting only of their liues but to assigne prouinces and honor was a contumelie of Caesar and an ouerthrow of the iudgement Therefore as passion dothe carrie me peraduenture beyonde the due respect of my yeares and reuerence to thée I will speake it both as to a sure friende of Caesar and of him though worthye much honor and power and also as to one that mighte haue bin his heire if he had knowen that thou hadst come of Aeneas rather than Hercules for that did he muche consider when he tooke order for his succession But for the tyme to come O Antony for the Gods of friendship and for the dutie to Caesar if thou wilt change any of the things done as thou must if thou wilt if not at the least help to further me that minde to be reuenged of the quellers with the people and such of my fathers friends as I haue and if any respect of men or of the Senate doth moue thée be not angry with me Thou knowest what a charge I and my house haue about these matters for the performing of the distribution that my father gaue to the people and for the care thereof that by delaying of them I might not séeme vnthankefull nor they that should receyue habitations in the countrey shoulde be
other prouinces to them for theyr suretie Néedes must they appoynte one for another but what manner ones Cyrene and Creta voyde of armies whyche they oure enimies in contempte haue lefte as vnprofitable and by violence haue entred the other whyche wée tooke from them Thus was oure armye putte from oure enimies to Dolabella by deuice and sleighte and exchange of other prouinces for where warre was not there must thinges bée done by lawe This béeyng thus broughte to passe and oure enimies gathering another armye I hadde néede of the same my selfe that was in Macedonia yet wanted occasion to require it When the fame came that the Getes woulde inuade Macedonia whyche not béeyng beléeued espies were sente to vnderstande the truth I decreed that no man ought to aske the Dictatorshippe nor to take it though it were gyuen hym By the whych thyng they béeyng chiefly allured appoynted me the armye and then dyd I thinke my selfe equall with mine enimies not these that be euidente as Octauius thynketh but other moe in number greater in power and not yet appearing When I had done this one of the strikers remayned still hard at our sides Decimus Brutus He béeyng a gouernoure of a greate countrey and a mighty armye verye bolde I deuised to take hys prouince from hym yet wyth a regarde of the Senate promising to delyuer Macedonia voyde of armye The Senate takyng the thyng euill and perceyuing some deuice to bée hadde what and howe greate matter was written to Decimus you knowe and to stirre the Consulles agaynste mée wherefore wyth the more boldenesse dyd I practise to wynne that prouince not by the Senate but by the people and lawe and to haue the armye of Macedonia come to Brundâ—sâ— to vse at all oportunities â–ª and with the Gods help we will vse them as necessitie shall compell vs Thus from muche feare wherein we were at the first we be turned into safetie of them that haue to doe wyth vs and into boldnesse agaynste oure foes whose courage beginnes to shrinke and ours to increase You sée what repentance they make of their decrées and what payne it was to mée to take France gyuen to another man You knowe what they wrote to Decimus and what they persuaded the Consuls agaynste me for that matter but wyth the Gods of oure Countrey wyth dutifull mynde and wyth oure valiante actes by the whyche Caesar was a conqueroure wée wyll reuenge him labouring with our bodyes and counselling wyth oure mynds These thyngs O Souldioure fellowes I woulde haue secrete although howe I haue done them I haue tolde you with whome I will participate all thyngs both in worde and déede the which you may shewe to any other that do not knowe it onely Octauius except who is most vnthankefull to vs. When Antony hadde thus saide it séemed to the Captaynes that he had done all things with great art and policie to deceiue the quellers whome he hated and therefore they were desirous to reconcile them with Caesar once agayne and persuaded them to méete in the Capitoll Not long after Antony did cause some of his gard to be apprehended by his friendes as entised by Octauius to destroy him eyther to discredite Octauius or for that he thoughte it true learning it of such as were sente to hys Campe. He declared this to be done by all coniecture to dispatche hys person whiche matter béeyng quietly heard caused muche adoe and indignation among the people A fewe that were grounded vppon reason were glad that Antony myghte doe Caesar good and also hurte at hys pleasure bycause hée was terrible to the strikers and if hée were once dispatched they myghte wyth the more securitie doe theyr feates bycause the Senate chiefly fauoured them Thus the wyser sorte did thinke but the multitude séeyng that despight and hynderance was dayly offered to Octauius they thoughte it not vnlike to be a calumniation and yet supposed it not good nor honest that Antony beyng Consull shoulde bée in daunger of hys person Octauius Caesar with greate anger and furie wente among them that were of thys opinion and cryed that hée was circumuented of Antony for the frendshyppe that he onely had with the people and ranne to Antonyes house and there he exclaymed and called the Gods to witnesse with all execrations and othes prouoking hym to come to tryall and bycause no bodye came to hym he sayde to hys friendes I am contente to bée iudged by hys owne people And with that he brake in at the dores but béeyng kepte backe he sware and rebuked them that kepte the gates bycause they stopped hym from making further tryall wyth Antony He wente hys way and protested to the people that if any hurte came vnto hym it shoulde come by Antonyes meanes Hauyng spoken this with greate vehemencie it gréeued the people and some of them repented of theyr former opinion Some stoode in doubte and â—usted neyther of them Some thoughte it a dissimulation betwéene them the better to bryng to passe that they had agréed vpon in the Temple againste their enimies and some thought Antonie deuised it to haue a greater garrison about him and to turne mens good will from Octauius Nowe was there secrete intelligence gyuen to hym that the armye at Brunduse and the ordinarie Souldioures were angrye with Antonie bycause he neglected Caesars death and that they woulde reuenge it to their power and that Antonie was gone in hast to Brunduse for this cause Octauius was afrayde least he returning with his armye shoulde finde hym vnprouided He tooke mony and wente to Campania to winne the Cities that were inhabited by such â–ª as had serued his father and first he persuaded Celatia and Silio two Townes about Capua He gaue euerie man fiue hundred drammes and had tenne thousande menne neyther armed nor distributed into due bands and order but only as a gard of his person vnder one ensigne They in the Citie were afrayde of Antonies commyng with his army and when they heard that Octauius was comming with another they were in a double feare and some tooke it well that they mighte vse Octauius against Antony Some that sawe theyr reconciliation in the Capitoll thought it but a dissimulation and a recompence of the one to be in authoritie and the other to persecute the quellers In thys disquietnesse Carnutiw the Tribune enimie to Antony and friende to Octauius wente to knowe the truth whyche béeyng done hée declared to the people that there was playne variance betwéene Antony and Octauius and that it stoode them in hande to make Octauius theyr friende séeyng they had none other armye to resist Antonyes Tyrannie When he had sayde thus he willed Octauius to enter who lay a little withoute the Citie at the Temple of Mars Hée dyd so and came to the Temple of Iupiters chyldren about the whyche the Souloioures stoode with theyr weapons openly Carnutius spake firste against Antony Then Octauius hymselfe reuiued the memorie
of hys father and shewed what iniurie Antony hadde done hym whereby he was forced to gette an armye for hys suretie wyth the whyche he woulde obey and serue his Countrey in all thyngs nowe readye agaynste Antonie When he hadde thus sayde the Counsell was broken vp The armye that thoughte otherwyse bycause of theyr reconciliation and that they were onely broughte to preserue Octauius person agaynste hys quellers séemed to bée gréeued that suche wordes shoulde bee spoken agaynste Antonie then béeyng a Generall of an armye and Consull of the Citie and some desired to goe home as to arme themselues for they coulde abyde none other but theyr owne armies and some tolde the very truth Octauius beganne to doubt agayne séeyng it came otherwyse to passe than he thought and therefore gaue place to the occasion trustyng to wynne them rather by gentlenesse than by force wherefore some he sente to bée armed and some to theyr home agayne promising them all for theyr laboures and hydyng hys griefe he gaue them newe giftes and promised them more liberally to requite them and that he woulde vse them in all hys enterprises rather as hys fathers friendes than as hys Souldioures When he hadde so sayde one thousande or thrée at the most for in thys the Writers vary he wanne to tarrie the rest wente awaye They remembryng the toyle of tyllage and the gayne of warfare and the wordes of Caesar that easilie dyd drawe them and the giftes they hadde receyued with the hope of that they shoulde receyue as the variable nature of people is beganne to repent and turning occasion to dutie they armed themselues and returned to him and he went to Rauenna for more reuenue and when he hadde gone ouer the Countrey and gotten more menne one after another he sente them to Arezzâ— In this meane time of the fiue Legions of Macedonie foure were come to Antonie to Brunduse accusing him as one that neglected Caesars deathe and bycause they gaue no gréetyng to hym when they broughte hym to hys seate as to heare somewhat firste sayde of themselues he was offended with their silence and coulde not refrayne but rebuked them of vnthankefulnesse that where by hym they were called from the iourney into Parthia to remayne in Italie they did not acknowledge anye thanke for it Then he blamed them for bearing with the rashe yong man for so he called Caesar that they woulde not discouer to hym suche persons as he had sente to make difference betwéene them but he woulde fynde them out hymselfe intendyng to leade them to the wealthie prouince of Celtica and to gyue euery one that woulde abide with hym one hundred drammes The Souldyoures laught at his miserable offer and the more he was angry the more were they in disorder and tumulte wherefore he rose and sayde You shall learne to be ruled Then he enquired of the Chiefetaynes who were the seditious for among the Romaines they vsed to note euerye manne by writing and by lawe of warre he chose them out but hée dyd not kyll euery tenth manne but parte of them thinking by a fewe to affray the rest They not to feare but rather to anger and hate tourned his doings whiche thyng when they perceyued that were sente thyther by Octauius they threwe billes aboute the Campe conteyning the niggardnesse and crueltie of Antonie with an vnthankefulnesse to Caesar that dead was and the liberalitie and gentlenesse of him that now they might help Antonie with great diligence soughte out the authors with threatning of greate payne to them that dyd not disclose them but when he coulde not finde anye out hée was muche offended that the whole army should fauoure them and when he hearde of the extraordinarie bands that were gone to Caesar Octauius and what was done for him at Rome he was troubled and came agayne to the army and sayde It did greeue him to doe that he had done for the necessitie of Souldious discipline taking but a few in stead of many according to the lawe and that they did well knowe that Antonie was neyther cruell nor sparing but quoth he let anger go let this be ynough both of punishment and of offence and as for the hundred drammes he meante it not as a gifte for Antonies fortune requyred otherwyse but as a welcome of fyrste acquayntance betwéene them rather than a gifte hée wylled them to haue it and that by the lawe of their Countrey and Souldyoures order they oughte to bée obediente to hym in thys and in all other thyngs Thus he sayd yet dyd he not adde anye more to the somme least the Captayne shoulde séeme to giue place to the Souldioure and they eyther for repentance or for feare accepted it and hée changed the officers of hys Campe eyther for the displeasure of thys sedition or for some other suspition The rest with suche furniture as he had deuiding his host he sent by sea to Arimeno He takyng one bande of the most likely men both in bodye and obedience wente towarde Rome from thence to goe also to Arimeno Hée proudely entred the Citie leauyng one bande withoute the Citie in Campe and wyth them that were aboute hym armed hée caused hys house to bée garded in the nyghte for hys safetie to whome he gaue watchwordes in dyuers parts as a garrison in the Citie He assembled the Senate intending to haue accused Octauius for his doings but at his entry it was tolde him that the martiall legion by the way was gone to Octauius And as hée stoode in doubt and feare what to doe it was also shewed hym that the fourthe legion following the Martials example was likewise reuolted to Octauius Being much troubled he entred and made a shew as he had called the Senate for an other purpose tarried not long there but went to the gates and from thence to the Cittie of Alba to stay the reuolters But being put from the walles hée retourned and to the other legions hée sente fiue hundred drams a man and with them that he hadde hée wente to Tiburo hauyng suche prouision as they bee wonte that goe agaynst theyr enimies Nowe was it euident that warre woulde followe for Decimus meante not to leaue hys Prouince Antony beeyng in thys place almoste all the Senate and manye of the Gentlemen came to do hym honor and so dyd a great part of the people synding hym gyuyng othe to hys souldiors that were presente and of other that hadde serued him béefore whyche resorted to hym in greate number And they fréely sware to Antony that they woulde not breake faith and beneuolence wyth hym So as nowe a man mighte doubte who they were that a little before hadde spoken againste Antony for Octauius Caesars sake Antony thus wyth great pompe approched Arimeno where was the beginning of Fraunce Celâ—â—ca his armye Beside these newe Souldioures was thrée legions from Macedonia for nowe all were come vnto hym and
which being decréed they brake vp euen as already Antony had being an enemy in déede no Tribune daring speake for him the next daye Wherefore his wife and hys mother wyth his sonne being yet yong and his other friendes and familiars all the night went to the great mens houses to beséech them and the next daye came to the Senate house suing to euerye man falling to their féete with wéeping and wayling in blacke habite they cryed out at the counsel dore and some for the lamentable voyces and behauiour for the sodennesse of the matter were moued with compassion wherefore Cicero being afrayde he spake thus vnto the Senate What we ought to decrée of Antony yesterday we did determine for when we gaue honour to his aduersaries we coÌ„demned him as an enimie Saluius was only an impediment against vs eyther for that he thinketh himselfe more wise than we or for the friendship he beareth to Antony or for ignoraÌ„ce of the matter Euerye one of these is to our great shame that al we should haue lesse wit than one and also to Saluius if he do prefer his friendship before the coÌ„mon wealth But wheÌ„ he hath not well vnderstand this present case he should haue giuen credite to the Consul the Pretors and to the Tribunes his fellowes and to the other Senatoures in number and worthinesse so manye who for oure age and experience oughte to knowe Antonie â–ª better than Saluâ—o In publique causes and iudgementes the more parte euer hath the right but if causes muste vee knowne and nowe learned agayne I wyll repeate them briefelye and touche the moste principall matter When Caesar was deade Antony tooke awaye oure common money the rule of Macedonia he hadde by vs but into Fraunce he entred violently without vs The army that was delyuered hym againste the Thracians hée brought into Italie againste vs requiring these deceitfully of vs and not obtayning hee did them of himselfe At Brunduse heâ— ordained a princelye bande to be aboute hym and openlye in Rome men in armour dyd guarde and watche hym vnder ensignes He broughte from Brunduse an other armye to the Cittie readye to all attemptes aspiring to the things that Caesar whom hée lamented coueted and when yong Caesar prepared againste hym another armye hee was afrayde and wente into Fraunce as a place fittest to vse force againste vs bycause Caesar from that place did inuade vs and got the rule ouer vs and giuing terrour to his armye that they mighte sticke to him in all hys vnlawfull dooyngs by lotte hee caused them to dye neither making anye mutinie nor forsaking their charge and order in battell for the whiche onelye the lawe of armes I thinke hath appoynted that punishemente whyche fewe Capitaynes scarcelye in greate perills woulde vse for necessitie But hee at a worde and a ieste giueth death to Citizens and death not of them that deserue but of suche as he woulde choose wherefore they that coulde haue forsaken hym and you yesterdaye dyd determine to rewarde them as those that hadde doone well They that coulde not escape awaye for feare doe dwell with him and as enimies inuade youre lande and besiege youre armye and youre generall and whom you appoynted to remaine in Fraunce Antony commaundeth hym to departe Whether then haue we iudged Antony an ennimye or doeth hée vse vs as enimyes Oure Tribune wyll not know this tyll Decimus be deade and tyll that prouince so greate and so nygh vnto vs and after the prouince the armye also of Decimus maye be in Antonies power to worke hys hope agaynste vs For by lyke the Tribunes wyll not â—o soone decrée hym to be an ennimye tyll hee bée Lorde ouer vs. Whyle Cicero was thus saying hys friendes made a greate noyse continuallye and woulde not suffer anye manne to speake agayne tyll Piso rose vppe when as the Senate for the reuerence of him commaunded silence and then the Ciceronians stayde and Piso thus beganne to speake The lawe O Senatours doth allowe the accused to haue hys cause heard and when he hath aunswered for himselfe to be iudged accordynglye Cicero the moste vehement Oratoure I doe chalenge who durste not accuse Antony when he was presente and in hys absence hath layde greate matter to his charge the greatest and doubtfullest whereof I wyll note and wyth shorte aunswere shewe them to bée false Hee sayeth that Antony after Caesar â–ª deathe dyd take the publique money as hys owne the lawe calleth suche one â— Theefe and not an enimye appointyng the payne Therefore when Brutus hadde slayne Caesar and accused hym to the people for spoyling the common money and leauing the â—teâ—â—â— nothyng Antony by and by did decrée that the matter 〈…〉 â—t searched 〈…〉 approued hys sentence by publique 〈…〉 appointyng a rewarde of the tenthe 〈…〉 to them that woulde declare it whych we wyll double if any man can accuse Antony of that And thus much concerning the money The prouince of Fraunce we did not appoint to Antony the people did by lawe Cicero being present in such sort as manye other be giuen and heretofore gaue the same to Caesar in like maner Part of the decrée is that Antony should make warre vpon Decimus if he would not giue place vnto him and that the army prepared against the Thracians who stirreth not shoulde be led against him if he resisted Cicero doth not iudge Decimus an enemye that maketh warre againste the lawe but Antony that obeyeth the lawe If he condemneth hym hee condemneth them that made the lawe whome hee ought by persuasion to pacific and not to prouoke by contumelie Neither ought he to credite that place to Decimus whoÌ„ the people haue bannished for murder discredite Antony to whom the people haue giuen it by law It is no good counsel to make diuision with the people especially in dauÌ„gerous times nor to forget that this belongeth chiefly to the people to iudge of friendes and foes for by the auntient lawes the people only is Lord of war and peace in the whiche at this time notwithstanding they haue not appointed nor commaunded nor vsed their priuiledge ouer vs But he saith Antony killed certain Souldiours being general and appointed therevnto by you Neuer was there Captaine generall that was charged wyth that offiÌ„ce For the lawes haue not thought it méete that the Captaine should be subiect to the Souldiours and there is nothing worse in a campe than disobedience by the whiche some conquerours haue bene ouerthrowen None of them that were punished haue complayned nor none of their friendes or kinsfolke But Cicero hath accused and finding fault at their death instead of such honor as hath ben wont to be giuen to such executers he wil haue Antony exclaymed an enimy How Antonies army was disordered how they disâ—ayned hym it is enâ—deÌ„t by the two legions y are fled froÌ„ him whoÌ„ you coÌ„manded to serue vnder him â— they contrary to y law of souldiers haue not fled froÌ„ him to you
but to Octa. Caesar which Cicero prayseth also yesterday would haue theÌ„ rewarded of y commoÌ„ Treasure whiche example I pray God you do not one daye repent to suche inconuenience hath enmity caried Cicero He accuseth Antonies Tyranny also and murder of souldiours wheras they that séeke mischiefe to their countries euer do please their armies and not so punish theÌ„ And bycause he can accuse Antony of none other matter of Tiranny after Caesars rule go to I wil aske him questions of euery thing Whom hath Antony killed vnharde as a Tyrant who now him selfe vnhard is in daunger to be condemned whome hath he vanished whom hath he cast out hath he bin so to euery particular man hathe he layde traynes for vs all at once when O Cicero he decreed forgetfulnesse of all things done or that no man shoulde prosecute the murder or that a search shoulde be made of common Treasure or when he called home Pompey your Pompeis sonne or when he wished he might be recompenced of the common for his fathers substaunce or when he dispatched the counterfayte Marius whom then you al praysed and now only in that Cicero will not you disprayse or when he determined that no Dictator should be created or spoken of or when he ordayned that he that would shoulde dye for it These were the things that Antony did to vs in two monethes when he alone remayned in the Cittie after Caesar when by and by the people pursewed the stickers when by and by we were afrayde of things to come When if he woulde haue taken his occasion and haue bene vmust he coulde not haue had a better yet hée dyd not vse hys power to the contrary What did not he alone rule when Dolobella was gone into Syria What dyd not he vse hys army preste to al purposes in the Citie whyche you appointed to hym did he not watch the Citie was not he himself garded by night for feare of his enimies had he not occasioÌ„ by Caesars death his friend and benefactour and most deare to the people Had he not another more nere wheÌ„ his body was laid for of meÌ„ of whom he neyther banished nor put to death any but rather fauoured them as much as by reasoÌ„ honesty he coulde not enuying them These you sée O Romaines be the greatest and most doubtful matters that Cicero hathg athered against him and to hys accusations he ioyneth deuination as thoughe Antony woulde haue broughte so greate an armye againste the Cittie but that hee was afrayde of Octauius Caesar that preuented hym wyth an other armye If to entende onely so bee the parte of a manne that is an ennimye why doeth hee not counte hym one that came and encamped in the Cittye and gaue you no warnyng of it If Antony woulde come howe hapte it hee came not was hée afrayde of Caesars thrée thousande vnarmed he hauyng thirtye thousand well armed They came onely to Caesar for to helpe to a pacifycation betwéene them but when they saw that warre would follow they forsooke hym If he were afrayde when hée had thyrtie thousande howe came he hither with one thousande with the whyche goyng to Tibure howe manye dyd wee sende vnto hym howe manye of vs wente to bee sworne of hym that were not sworne before what prayses dyd Cicero make of hys good gouernemente and vertue howe woulde Antony if hee hadde knowen thys haue lefte wyth vs the pledges that nowe bee without the Senate house hys mother hys wife and hys young sonne whyche lamente and feare nowe not of Antonies doyngs in the common wealthe but for hys ennimyes power Thys I haue rehearsed vnto you as an example of Antonies innocencye and Ciceros mutabilitye And to them that well wyll consyder I wyll giue thys exhortation neyther to charge the people nor Antony neyther to bring in generall enimetie and daunger the common wealthe beyng sickely and wantyng them that spéedâ—â—â—c might relieue it but to make the Cyttie strong before they abroade doe styrre anye tumulte whereby wee maye resiste anye that wyll ryse againste vs and â—â—â—ge of them as wee shall thinke good and performe what wee haue iudged But howe can thys bée done If wee can suffer Antony for the loue or fauour of the people to haue Fraunce if wee call home Decimus wyth hys three legions and when hée is come senâ—e hym into Macedonia retayning hys legions and calling for the two legions that wente from Antony wee doe require them as Cicero sayeth of Caesar to bee in the Citie so as hauyng fiue legions wee maye confyrme what wee will by decree and not be driuen to hang of anye mans hope Thys haue I spoken to the hearers without enuye or emulation But for them that inconsiderately and vnaduisedly séeke to trouble â–ª you for priuate grudge or displeasure I shall beséeche the Judges not to bée to quicke nor swifte againste so greate men and leaders of so mightye armyes that they doe not force them to make warre againste their wyli remembryng Marcus Coriolanus and the late Caesar whom bringing an armye likewise and offring verye good conditions of concorde wee rashelye condemned as enimye and of necessitie made him to bee so indéede Let vs beare wyth the people that while earst did stirre againste the strykers of Caesar that we séeme not to hys reproch to giue them prouinces of nations nor prayse Decimus bycause hee despiseth the peoples lawe and condemne Antony bycause hee receyueth Fraunce by the peoples order And it behoueth them that bee of good iudgement to redresse them that goe astraye and the Consuls and Tribunes to prouide for the daungers of the present state Thus dyd Piso speake in defence with cries and sharpe wordes and was the onlye cause why Antony was not iudged a rebell Yet coulde he not obtayne that hee shoulde haue the prouince of Frenche Celtica For the friendes and kinsefolke of the killers for feare did lette it leaste the warre shoulde ceasse and hee bee at one with Octauius and they both reuenge Caesars deathe Wherefore theyr practise and deuise was to kepe Antony and Octauius styll at debate It was decréed that Antony should receiue Macedonie in stead of Lombardie Al other orders eyther of ignoraunce or of purpose they committed to Cicero to appoint and to giue answere to Embassadours He hauing this sentence dyd thus determyne That Antony shoulde streight departe from Modena and leaue Celtica to Decimo and to be within the compasse of the floud Rubicone which diuideth Italie from Lombardie by a daye prefixed and committe all his matters to the Senate Thus Cicero ambitiously and vniustly dyd appointe his determinations not for anye so great priuate enmitie but as it shoulde séeme by destinye that was determined to trouble the state with mutation and bring himselfe to some euill happe in the ende At this instante they were come that broughte the ashes of Trebonius and the despight vsed to him which being throughly knowne the Senate did
Martialls Souldioures and fyue other bandes they wente vppon the made way being cleare of ennimyes and beholde the Fenne on euerye syde and when they sawe the stirring of the réedes and some glittering of tergâ—ts and headpéeces they began to suspect when as the chiefe band of Antony sodainelye appeared afore them The Martiall legion being on both sides beset and hauing no roomth to shifte abroad forbad the newe souldiours to take anye paines wyth them leaste for lacke of experience they shoulde trouble them they placed Caesars thiefe bande againste Antonies and they diuiding themselues to twoo encountred with bothe legions Pansa was Capitaine of the one parte and Carsâ—leius of the other And bycause there was two Fens there was two fights and bycause of the straight place the one could not sée the other and vppon the verye waye the two chiefe bandes beganne another fight betweene themselues Antonies men entended to be reuenged of the Martialls bycause they were fugitiues and to vse them as traytoures The Martialls woulde bée reuenged of them as suspected of theyr fellowes deathes at â—â—unduse Béeyng thus priuie one to anothers doings and that they were the strength of eyther armye they hoped by thys onely feate that the warre woulde be determined The one was ashamed that two legions shoulde be ouercome of one the other sought glorye that one legion shoulde defeate two and so they ioyned battel for anger and emulation â–ª rather of themselues than of their Capitaynes trying now their owne matter And for their experience they neyther made crie as though they had not stroken one another nor in the fight any of them vttered anye voyce neither when he had the better nor when he had the worse They fetched no compasse nor course but stoode firme as in Fennes and ditches where they could not one put another backe but with their shorte swords they clasped togither as in a wrestling place No blowe was giuen in vaine â–ª but either woundes or slaughter followed and only sighes in steede of voice He that fell had straight another putte in hys place There was no néede of exhortation or calling on euerye man by his owne experience was a Captayne to hymselfe And when they had ouerlaboured they woulde staye to take breath as men do in places of exercise and straighte close agayne The young souldiours stoode in a maze to sée thys feate doone with so good order and silence all these continuing beyond mans nature the chiefe band of Caesar was all slaine The Martialls vnder Carsuleius hadde rather the vpper hande of their enimies who not disorderedly but in ray withdrew theÌ„ selues They vnder Pansa dyd abide it out and equally stoode to it on bothe sides till Pansa was wounded with a darte in the belly and was caried to bononia Then they at the firste retyred in order but after they turned more swiftely as flying which when the yong Souldiours sawe they fled with confusion and crie to the campe which Torquatus the Pretor had prouided whyles they were fightyng foreséeing the néede of it to the whiche the new Souldiours ran with great violence beyng Italians as well as the Martials but exercise maketh them of one nation so much to differ in vertue The Martials dyd not enter the trench for dishonour but stoode before it and weary though they were remayned ready to resist any assaulte and to abide the ende of the matter Antony dyd not touche the Martialles bycause he knewe them valiant but the young Souldiours he chased and made greate slaughter among them Hirtius at Mutina hearyng of the fight beyng aboute eyght myles distant came in baste with the other legion that was fled from Antony The sunne was now goyng downe and Antonies Souldiours hauing the victory went singing to their camp Hirtius appeared to them he beyng in good order with one legion sounde and valiante and they out of order Wherefore of necessitie they placed themselues in due sort and shewed many valiant and noble feates but although they were coragious yet beyng weary they were ouercome of the other that were freshe and the most parte slayne of Hirtius in this feate albeit he did not folow them for feare of the Fennes and the night comming on did seuer them The Fenne in most places was filled with harnesse and dead men and with half dead and wounded They that were safe dispaired of themselues for wearinesse But the horsemen of Antony rode about al night and gathered them togither some they caried themselues some they brought home on horsebacke some they badde take holde by the horse tayle to goe the faster and séeke to saue themselues Thus Antony hauyng fought very nobly loste his force by the commyng of Hirtius wherefore he abode in a village in the fielde without a campe The Village is called French Market The halfe of eyther syde was slayne and Câ—sâ—rs bande of his person vtterly destroyed Of Hirtiâ—s Souldioures few were left all the which the nexte morning remoued their Camps to Mutina After this losse Antony determined no more to giue battell to hys enimies nor to admitte any attempt to the same but with his Horsemen only to molest them daye by day till he had gotten Decimus to yéelde being driuen by hunger For this cause Hirtius and Caesar the rather prouoked hym to fight and whereas they did perceyue that Antony woulde not come forth keeÌ„pyng his men in order they went to the other side of the Citie whych bicause it was the harder to approch was the lesse kept y with their whole army they myght enter by force Antony made resistance only with his horsemen but they being put backe by other horse and the army passing as it would Antony was afraid â–ª of the Citie and brought forth two legious They glad of thys retired and foughte with them and whilest Antony from other campes sent for mâ—â— legions as in a troubled time of so greate and suddayne attempt the whiche being long a comming Caesars men ouerthrew Antonies in the fight and Hirtius droue Antony to his Campe where fighting manfully before Antonies Tente he was slayn whose body Caesar louing â–ª in great spéed recouered and gote the Campe till shortlye hée was repulsed by Antony Both of them watched all night in armoure Antony being fallen with this seconde losse streighte after the battell called hys friends to counsell They thought according to his former meaning to kéepe still the sâ—â—ge at Mâ—dena and not to come to anye fight for both the losses were like Hirtius slayne and Pansa hurte In Horsemen he the better and Mutina broughte to extreame want must needes shortly giue ouer Thus his friends thoughte good and it was best indede but Antoniâ— God now striking him was afraide least Caesar shoulde procéede to the obteyning of the Citie as he did the day before or by making walles entrenche hym hauing many pioners for the purpose and then his Horse should do him no good he
said Lepidus and Plancus wil despite me as one ouercome but if we goe froÌ„ Modena Veâ—tidius wil streight come to vs with thrée legions from the marches of Anâ—onâ—â— and then being so strong Lepidus and Plâ—ncus will take my part Thus he said and as a man not afrayde in perils he leuyed his séege and went straight toward the Alpes When Decimus was delyuered of the séege he began to feare Caesar as an enimie bycause both Consuls were now gone wherefore he make the bridges of the riuer before day sent to him both acknowledging hym the author of his safetie and prayed him that hauing the floude betwixte them he woulde come to a talke with witnesse of Citizens where he would let him vnderstand that very wicked Fortune forced him to conspire against Caesar being thereto driuen of other Octauius angerly aunswered the messengers refusing the thankes that Decimus gaue him for I quoth he came not to saue Decimus but to ouerthrow Antonie with whome to be reconcyled there is no reason but to come to spéech or fighte of Decimus his nature abhorred it let him therefore kéepe himselfe so long as it shall so séeme to them of the Citie When Decimus heard this not being farre from the floud he called to Caesar by name and with a loude voyce redde vnto him the Senates letters by the which they had giuen him the prouince of Celticaâ— And he forbad also Caesar that without the Consuls he shoulde not passe the bridge into any others prouince nor follow Antonie for he was able ynough to do it Octauius séeyng him in such boldnesse by the Senate when he mighte by his commission haue taken him hée spared him and wente to Bononia to Pansa from whence he wrote to the Senate of all things and so did Paâ—sâ— whose letters Cicero did reade to the people of Rome as from the Consull but Caesars were redde to the Senate onely There was decréed generall Processions of fiftie dayes agaynste Antonie the like whereof was not done of the Romaines neyther for the warre of Fraunce nor none other battayle The Consulles armyes were appoynted to Decimus Pansa béeyng yet aliue but not lyke to scape and Decimus made generall alone agaynste Antonie and publike Prayers were made that Decimus myghte ouercome Antonie so greate an hate and displeasure was growen agaynste Antonie â—o the two legions that fledde from Antony was confirmed to euery Souldiour accordyng to the former promise fiue thousand Dâ—ammes of the common treasure as to Souldiours of conquest and it was graunted them in solemne feastes to weare a crowne of Dâ—â—ue leaues Of Octauius nothing was mentioned not so much as his name so soone dyd they contemne him as though Antony had bene vtterly destroyed They wrote also to Leptâ—â—â— â—â—â—â—cus and Asinius to fight with Antony when they should â—â—â—â—gh hym These were done in Rome Pansa beyng at poynt of death by reason of his wounde said thus to Caesar sittyng by him 〈…〉 is a friende to thy father as to my selfe whome I coulde not â—â—â—eage beyng slayne not able to resiste so many whome thou also haste done wisely to obey although thou haddest an armie They at the firste fearyng thée and Antony a manne moste ambitious and enclinyng towarde Caesars sentence haue bene content to suffer you to be at variance and consume your selues and when they sawe that thou wast Lorde of an army as iyong man they set thée foorth with some countenance and slender honours After thou wast stronger and of more estimation and that thou wouldest not recerue the autoritie vnder the army that they gaue thée they were troubled and they appoynted thée to ioyne with vs that wée mighte take from thée the twoo legions which were moste practised hopyng that if any of you were ouercome the other alone shoulde be the more weaker and after hym destroy al Caesars friendes and set vp Pompeys This was the summe of the determination I and Hirtius haue done our coÌ„mission to represse Antony that grewe into suspition Now that he is ouercome wae thought it beste for thée to be at one with him doyng thée this benefite â–ª in remembraunce of Caesars amitie onely that whiche we supposed will further thy felicitie in tyme to come Afore this time to haue giuen thée this Consell had not benefitte but nowe that Antony is broken Hirtius dead and I not like to liue oportunitie serueth to speake not that thou shouldest thanke me when I am dead but that thou beyng borne to great felicitie as thy déedes do shewe mightest knowe what is beste for thée and the chayse and destiny of Hirtius and mée The armye that thou gauest vs we thinke it most fitte to gyue thée agayne and so we do The yong Souldyoures if thou couldest keepe I would also giue thée but it would much offende the Senate bycause the officers of them were sent as kéepers to vs and it would worke thâ—â— enuâ—e and put thée to more trouble than néedes therefore Torquatus the Pretor shall haue them When he had thus sayd and deliuered them to Torquatus he dyed and they as the Senate commaunded were sent to Decimus Caesar deliuered Hirtius and Pansa to their funerall with greate honor and sent them to Rome with great shew In Syria and Macedonia at this time diuers things happened Iulius Caesar when he passed by Syria left a Legion there mynding then to go against the Parthians Cecilius Bassus had the charge thereof but Iulius Sextus a yong man and allyed to Caesar had the dignitie who ledde the legion without order to delitious and licentious life the which when Bassus reproued he vsed him wyth despightefulnesse and Bassus againe calling him and he grudging at it he

Caesar Then making oth one to another that vnlesse forgiuenesse and faith were giuen them they woulde fyght to deathe and compelling Bassus to that oth they gathered another legion trayned them to their exercise Thus some do write of Bassus But Libo writeth that Bassus was of Pompeys parte and after the battayle liued priuately in Tyro where he did corrupte some of the Legion who killed Sextus and after obeyed Bassus But howsoeuer the matter wente â–ª they valiantly resisted Sextius Murcus that was sente of Caesar with thrée Legions till Murcus did call to Minutius Crassus that was ruler of Bythinia who came into his ayde with thrée other Legions and when Bassus was beséeged of these Cassius came in great hast and receyued by and by the two legions of Bassus and also wanne the fire legions that beséeged him by friendship who obeyed him as vnder-Consul For as I sayd before it was decréed that all should obey Cassius and Brutus Albienus at that time being sente of Dâ—lobella
of Caesars inheritaunce vnto hym Then he came into the Cittie as Consul and sacrifised And there appeared to him twelue Gripes as did to Romulus when he builded the Cittie The sacrifices being ended hée gaue himselfe in adoption to his father according to the lawe Curiate that is â–ª to be confirmed in adoption by the people For the Romaines call Curias companies or wardes of the people deuided as the Grecians do call Phratriae fellowshippes and Fraterâ—iâ—ies This vse among the Romaines was most effectuall in the lawe for them that be without fathers and they may as well as Legitimate children commaunde the kinsefolke and frée made men of them that doe adopte them And it was one of Caius Caesars glories that he had manye riche frée made men and chiefly for this cause peraduenture thys Caesar in his first adoption by testament had néede of this also He dissolued by a newe lawe that Dolobella shoulde not be iudged a rebell and that the lawe mighte procéede for Caesars killing wherefore accusations were written agaynste them by Caesars friends to them as strikers to the other as priuie only for thys was obiected againste some of them and to some bycause they woulde not be seene when Caesar was kylled And to all these a day certayne was assigned by Proclamation when they shoulde appeare to make their annswere all the whiche fayling at the day Caesar himselfe markyng the iudgementes none was parâ—â—â—ed of the faulte but one noble man who then had no hurte but shortly after was condemned to deathe wyth the other And at thys tyme Q. Gallius brother to Marius Gallius Antonyes friende béeyng a Pretor in the Citie dyd desire of Caesar the Lieutenantshippe of Libya whyche when he hadde obteyned he wroughte wyles agaynste Caesar The other Pretors depriued him of hys office and the people and the Senate condemned him to deathe Caesar commaunded hym to goe to hys brother that was wyth Antony and when he had taken Shyppe to goe he was neuer séene after When Caesar had done these greate things he enclined to pacification with Antony When he had hearde that Brutus â–ª hadde twenty LegioÌ„s against that which he would haue Antonyes help he wente out of the Citie towarde the Ionian Sea and makyng small iourneys be tarried to sée what the Senate would do Pedius when Caesar was gone perswaded that before grudge should growe to extremitie they woulde agrée Antony and Lepidus And although they perceyued that this agréement was not for theyr sake nor for their Countrey but onely to helpe Caesar agaynste Brutus and Cassius yet did they by necessitie determine it and reuoked the sharp decrées made against Antonie and Lepidus and all the Souldioures vnder them and to sende them other more fauourable for the whyche Caesar wrote his letters of congratulation vnto them and promised to helpe Antonie againste Decimus if néede were The Senate vsed lyke friendly manner reward him and gaue him their harty thaÌ„kes and Antonie wrote that he would plague Decimus for Caesar and Plâ—nâ—â—â— for himselfe and ioyne with Caesar Thus they wrote one to another Whilest Antonie pursued Decimus Asinius Pollio came vnto him with two Legions and practised to haue him pacifyed wyth Plancus and Plancus with thrée Legions agréed with Antony in so muche as nowe Antony hadde a most myghtie power Decimus hadde tenne Legions whereof foure moste warlike being féebled with hunger were yet vexed with sickenesse Of newe taken there was syxe Legions but vnexperte and fearefull Wherefore Decimus doubting to fyghte determined to flée to Brutus into Macedonia and not to passe by the Mountaynes but by Rauenna and Aquileia And bycause Caesar was comming that waye hée tooke a longer and an harder iourney to passe by Rene and goe to the wilde places of barbarous people where the newe Souldioures oppressed with wante and heate forsooke hym and wente to Caesar and after them the foure Legions of older Souldioures wente to Antony Then to the other multitude the Frenche Horsemen men béeyng the gard of hys person only except he gaue leaue if they woulde to goe euery man to hys owne and gaue them such golde as he hadde so as when he came to the Rene he had but thrée hundred where bycause the passage was hard they all forsooke hym saue a fewe whyche fewe also shortly dyd leaue hym and wyth tenne onely changing hys garmente lyke a French man whose language he coulde speake he wente forthe as one of that nation not with haâ—ty iourneys but easlie to Aquileia thynking with so fewe he myghte wel escape but béeyng taken of Théeues and bounde he asked what Prince was Lorde of that parte they sayde Camillus He muche estéemyng the name of Camillus desired he myght be broughte to hym who when he sawe hym in apparance spake fayre to hym and rebuked the takers that without regard hadde so euill entreated so noble a man but priuily he sent vnto Antony and Antony moued with the mutation coulde not abyde to sée him but willed Camillus to kyll hym and sende hym hys head whyche when he sawe he commaunded it to be buryed Thys ende hadde Decimus a Captayne of Caesars Horsemen â—na by hym made Ruler of olde France and for the yeare to come elected Consull and Gouernoure of the other Fraunce and was the seconde of the kyllers that nexte Trebonius was punished a yeare and a halfe after Caesars deathe And this verye

gotte suche a iorney at two fight â—a foote as none had done before them for no suche nor so great an army of Romaines euer came to handes before not gathered of common Citizens but of the beste Gentlemen not ignorant of fighting but long practised of thâ—selues not of straunge or barbarous nation but of all one language and one arte of war of one strength and exercise hard to be matched therefore among themselues none euer vsed more boldenesse or fiercenesse in fight a token of that the number of deade men being equall in bothe fights and no fewer of theirs that did ouercome Caesars and Antonies souldiours did fulfill their Captaines will in one day and one worke chaunging extreame danger of famine and feare of death into victuall abundant into safety stable into victory notable It followed of that fight that the wise Romaines did prophesie For the common wealth was chieflie iudged by that feate and was lyke to haue come to the populare state agayne And there was no acte of anye suche troubles among themselues but in the variaunce betweene Caesar and Antony whiche was the laste among the Romains The things that in the meane tyme were done vnder Pompey after Brutus by them that of Cassius and Brutus friends fledde hither and thither retaining the renmaunt of so great preparation neither were they done with such boldnesse nor with such forces of men of Cities or of Captaynes in their prouinces for they had no nobilitie no Senate nor no glory as Brutus and Cassius had The ende of the fourth booke of Ciuill Dissentions ¶ The fift Booke of Appian of Alexandria of the Ciuill Dissentions of the Romaines AFter the deathe of Brutus and Cassius Octauian went into Italy and Antonie into Aegipt where Cleopatra méetyng with him ouercame him at the firste sight The which loue brought them to destruction and Aegipt to vtter ruine Wherof Egipt also shal be a part of this volume but not so great as it can giue it the title bicause many of the ciuill battailes are intermedled with it For after Cassius and Brutus there were lyke Ciuill Dissentions but wythoute a Generall that commaunded all as they did but some leading armies here and some there till Sextus Pompey the seconde son of Pompey the Greate being lefte of that faction was sette vp of Brutus friends Lepidus being nowe putte from his dignitie al the authoritie rested in Antony and Octauian the whiche things fell out after this sorte Cassius surnamed of Parma when Brutus and Cassius wente to battaile was lefte of them in Asia with an army and a nauy to gather mony When Cassius was deade he hauing no such hope in Brutus tooke thirtie of the Rhodian ships which he thought to be sufficient and burned the rest the holy ones only excepted that they should not rebel and with these and his own shippes he departed Clodius being sent thither of Brutus with thirtene shippes and fynding the Rhodians reuolted for now Brutus was also deade tooke away the garrison of thrée thousande souldiors and sayled to this Cassius â—orulus did ioyne with them hauing many other shippes and mony which he had gathered at Rhodes before they reuolted To this nauy as to a thing of power resorted all they that had offices in Asia and made legions and souldiours for the sea as wel as they could of seruants and people of the couÌ„tries Ilands There came to them Cicero that was son to Tullius Cicero and diuerse noble Citizens that were sled from Thaso and by and by there was a great army with a sufficieÌ„t nauy of good Captaines taking with them Lepidus also with an other band whiche he kept for Brutus at Creta And with these forces they sailed to Murcus and Oenobarbus into the gulfe of Ionia where diuiding themselues part went into Sicelie to Sextus Pompey and part remained with Oenobarbus for priuate faction and thus of the remnants of Brutus and Cassius a newe armye was made Octauian and Antonie sacrificed for the victorie at Philippi and gaue thankes to their souldiors And to performe their promise Octauian went into Italy to distribute lande to the souldiors which he did choose for his health And Antony weÌ„t among the nations beyond the seas and gathered mony for hie souldiours and diuided betwene them the lands y Lepidus had FraÌ„ce beyonde the Alpes Octauian woulde haue free according to the determination of the decrée of his vncle Caesar Lepidus was accused to fauour Pompeys part which if it were founde false Octauian determined to giue hym other Prouinces They licenced the old souldiors except eight thousand which desiring to serue still they diuided betwéene theÌ„ of them apointed bandes for their bodies To
these there were added eleuen legions that wente from Brutus and .xiiij. thousande horse of the whiche Antony tooke for hys iorney sixe legions and tenne thousande horse Octauian had foure thousande horse and fiue legions and for those that Antony had he shoulde receiue of Antonies out of Calenus whiche he lefte in Italy and so sayled to the Ionian sea WheÌ„ Antony was come to Ephesus he made solemne sacrifices to the Gods and forgaue the souldiors of Cassius that were in Sanctuarie and asked pardon Petronius being except as many as had conspired Caesars death Quintus that betrayed Dolobella to Cassius at Laodicea to the Grecians and other nations that inhabit about Pergamo in Asia in a great assembly of Ambassadors that came for peace he spake in this wise You men of Grecia your Kyng Attalus by testament bequeathed you vnto vs whome you founde more beneficiall vnto you than Attalus was for we forgaue you the Tributes that you payd to Attalus tyll wée had neede of Tributes bycause of them that troubled our peace Then we sette Tributes vpon you not accordyng to euery mans value that we myghte exact it wythout perill but required you to pay a portion yearely that wée myghte bee partakers of youre yearely fruites and féele youre losse in harde tunes And when the Bayliffes requiring more than they ought dyd you iniurie C.

y it must be paid in one yeare bycause ne-nessitie so exacteth You may acknowledge thaÌ„kes confesse that you are not punished as you haue deserued Thus he spake to please the souldiors to whom they promised rewards at their méeting at Modena then they were xl legions so many of theÌ„ were coÌ„sumed He had not fully ended his tale wheÌ„ the Grecians sate vpoÌ„ the ground with many demonstratioÌ„s

by this victory shoulde not inuade who neyther attempted any thing by lande nor made an ende of them by sea but suffered them to gather togither as they could and with prosperous wind to gette to Vibone either bycause he thought theÌ„ afflicted ynough or could not vse the victory or as I sayd before slowe to inuade contente to defend Of Caesars Nauie scarcely the halfe was lefte and that sore brusede leauing some to ouersée them with sorowfull mind he went into Campania for neyther had he any other Shippes hauing neede of manye nor time to make them the dearth béeyng great and the people crying for peace and blaming that warre that was made against promise Néede also he hadde of money whereof was great want the people of Rome not to be moued to any payments But Octauius Caesar subtile for his owne commoditie sent Mecenas to Antony with instructions to call him to societie of warre which if he refused he would traÌ„sport his legioÌ„s into Sicelie and trie y matter by laÌ„d Being in these cares it was knowen that Antony woulde ioyne with him in warre and that Agrippa had a victory against the French Aquitanes His frieÌ„ds also some Cities promised him ships So he leauing his sadnes prepared a greater Nauie At y beginning of the Spring Antonie came froÌ„ Athens to Tarentum with iij. C. ships to ioyne with Caesar in warre according to his promise He changing his purpose tarried til his Nauie was furnished and when he was told that Antonyes Nauie was sufficiente he alleaged he had other lettes y it might appeare he had more quarrell against Antony or despised his help trusting in his owne Antony taking it gréeuously remained yet still and required him once againe For hauing much adoe to prepare money for the Parthian war nede of Italian souldioures he would haue chaÌ„ged ships for meÌ„ although by coÌ„position both of them might take vp meÌ„ in Italy but it was y harder for him to do bycause Italy was another maÌ„s prouince Wherefore Octauia went to hir brother to moue him therevnto He said Antony had forsaken him whereby he was like to haue bin lost in y sea of Sicelie She aunswered that matter was satisfyed by Macenas Then he saide Antony had sent Callias his late slaue to confederate with Lepidus against him She sayd he went to treate of mariage For Antony before he should go to the Parthians warre desired to bestow his daughter vpoÌ„ Lepidus sonne as he had promised When Octauia had affirmed this Antony sente Callias to Caesar to trie y truth by torture which he refused sente word to Antony to méete him betwéene Metapontus and Tarento Antony when he saw Caesar lept into a bote alone signifying y he trusted him Caesar seing y did the like either of theÌ„ made hast tâ— get grouÌ„d on y contrary side but Caesar was the quicker arriued on Antontes side and wente in charriot with Antonie to hys sister Octauia and lodged togither without garde The nexte day Antonie did the lyke by him Thus they were soone at debate for suspition soone agréed for necessitie Caesar deferred the warre agaynst Pompey till the next yeare Antonie could tarry no longer there for the Parthians warre so they made an exchange Antonie gaue Caesar a hundreth and twenty shippes for the whiche Caesar promysed him twentie thousande legions Soldiours Italians Octauia presented hir brother with ten shippes that bothe serued for burden and ores Caesar gaue Octauia one thousande choyse men for his garde as Antonie woulde take And bycause y time of thrée mens authoritie was expired by decrée of Senate they continued it for fiue yeare more of their owne authoritie neither lokyng for consent of Senate nor confirmation of people and so departed Antonie making haste into Syria leauyng Octauia with hir brother and hyr sonne Menodorus being a traytour by nature or fearing the threates of Antonie that sayde he was his slaue or not finding such rewarde as he looked for or being moued with the daylie rebukes of his olde felowes Pompeis late bonde men and after Menecrates death exhorting hym to returne as vnfaithfull to hys Master hauing assuraunce he fledde to Pompey with seuen shippes Whiche Caluisius the admirall did not perceyue wherefore Caesar put him from his office and placed Agrippa When his nauie was finished he did purge it after this sorte Alters stande at the sea side touched with the water They with their shippes stande aboute with greate silence The priestes in boates in the sea make the sacrifices and carie their purgations thrice about the nauie the Capitaynes goyng with them wishyng ano praying that all vnfortunate and vnfaythfull things might be remoued from it The bowels of the sacrifices beyng diuided they throwe parte in the sea and parte they burne on the Aâ—ters the people wishyng all good lucke It was determined that Caesar should inâ—â—de from Puteiâ—lâ— Lepidus from Africa and Taurus from 〈◊〉 â—nd so

Quintilis This day Caesar appointed bicause of the honour of his father whose felicitie was perpetuall Pompey placed Plennius at Lilibaeo against Lepidus with one legion and muche shotte The East and Weast parte of Sicelie he layde with garrisons chiefly the Iles of Lipara and Câ—ssyra least Lepidus should get the one and Caesar the other and be continuall annoyance to Sicelie He kepte the strength of his nauie at Messina to be ready at the euentes After the day was come they all tooke shippe in the mornyng Lepidus came out of Africa with a thousande shippes of burden lxx Galleys and. xy legions fiue thousande Numidian horse and other prouision Taurus from Tarent of Antonies a hundred and thirtie shippes brought onely a hundreth and two shippes the other were disfurnished by the pestileÌ„ce that was the winter passed Caesar departed froÌ„ Putzolo hauing first sacrificed to Neptune and the calme sea to fauour him against the killers of hys father Certen scoutes went afore to espiâ— the â—east Appius ledde the reregarde with a multitude of shippes The thirde day after they were entred a South winde arose and drowned many of Lepidus shippes yet he gotte to Sicelie and besieged Plennius in Lilibaeo and tooke many townes of that coaste Taurus when the winde turned returned to Tarent Appius saylyng by the poynt of Minerua had shippewracke by tempest parte were loste vpon the rockes parte in the shalowes and parte crushed one with an other Caesar so soone as the tempest rose wente to the porte of Velino safe except one Galley of sixe ores on a side After the South winde folowed a Southwest winde whiche so stirred that porte that the shippes could not go foorth
a confederate of such might and estimation When Antonie hearde this he sayde If Pompey meaneth good faith I haue giuen commission to Titius to bryng him to me In the meake 〈…〉 Pompeâ—â— messengers that were sente to the Parthians were taken of Antonies officers and brought to Alexandria of whome when Antonie had learned all thyngs he sente for Pompeis Embassadours and shewed them to them Then

hys fréende but the practise being discouered Curio was put to death and Pompey kylled hys laâ—e bondman Theodorus who was â—nely priute to that counsell And because he doubted of Furnius he tooke the citie of Lampsaco by composition where many Italians dyd inhabite appoynted by Iulius Caesâ—r whome hée allured to his pay with great promyses Now had hée two hundreth horse and thrée regions and besieged Cyzicus both by sea and lande from the whiche he was repulsed For there was a litle bande of Antonies and certen sworde players that were brought vp there And where Furnius absteyning from battayle old cuermore encampe nigh him and kept him froÌ„ soraging which he went aboute in the territorie of the Acheans Pompey set vpon the fore parte of hys campe and sente other aboute to do the like behinde Whereby Furnius resisting him hys campe was taken of the other and dryuen to flée by the fieldes of Scamandria where Pompey killed many of them for the fielde was moyst with the shoures They that escaped durst not turne againe to the fielde The people of Mysia Propontide other plaâ—es that were pore consumed with payment came to 〈…〉 seruice beyng renounâ—ed for hys late victorie But wantyng horsemen and beyng shrewdly handâ—ed in foragyng he heard of a bande of Italian horsemen goyng to Antonie whiche Octauia had sente from Athens and sente to corrupt them with golde The president of the countrey tooke them that brought the money and distcibuted it to the horse men Pompey at Nâ—cea and Nicâ—media gathered muche money with greate successe Furnius agayne comming into the fielde and encamping nigh him there came .lxx. shippes out of Sicelie in the spryng which were leste of them that Antonie had lent Caesar And Titius came out of Syria with a hundred and twentie shippes and a greate army all the which arriued at Proconnesco of the which Pompey being afrayde burned his shippes and armed his Mariners hauing more trust in the lande But Cassius of Parma Nasidius Saturninus Therinus Antistius other honorable friendes of Pompey Furnius moste déere vnto him Libâ— himself his father in lawe when they saw that Pompey was alwayes to weake they yéelded themselues to Antonie He being thus forsaken went into y midland of Bythinia entending to go into Armâ—nia Furnius Tituis folowed him he being secrete departed out of his tents and with great iourney they ouertooke him at night and seuerally encamped aboute an hill without ditche or trenche beyng late and they weary That night Pompey set vpon them with thrée thousande men as they were sléeping put them to flée naked shamefully but if hée had assayled them with his whole power or folowed them as brokeÌ„ he had gotten perfect victory But fortune would not suffer and he got nothing thereby but that he went on his iourney They recouering horses folowed him and kepte him from victuall so as beyng dryuen to speache hée desired to speake with Furnius that was some tyme â—â— fréende of hys Fathers and a man of greate dignitie And stâ—ndyng on the banke of the riuer hée sayde hée had sente Embassadours to Antonie and in the meane season wantyng victualles dyd that hée had done If you make warre vpon mée by 〈…〉 ies commaundeme he seeth not wel for himself not receyuing a greater warre to hang ouer hym But if you do it vpon your owne authoritie I pray you and beséeche you that you would ceasie till my Embassadours returne or carie me safely to him And to you O Furni I will committe my selfe so you will promise me to deliuer me safe to Antonie Thus much hée sayde hopyng in Antonie as a gentle man and séekyng to passe his iourney quietly To whom Furnius thus answeared If thou wouldest haue coÌ„mitted thy selfe to Antonie thou shouldest haue done it at the first or beyng quiet haue looked for answeare at Mâ—â—yiene but makyng warre thou haste brought thy selfe to this case if thou repentest thée blame not vs Antonie hath appoynted Titius to receyue thée to hym therefore committe thy selfe of whom thou mayst require that thou requirest of mée For he commaunded that if thou playest the parte of an enimie to kill thée if not to bryng thée honorably vnto him Pompey was offended with Tiâ—iâ— as vnthankfull bycause hée had made this warre agaynst hym whome he once tooke and saued hym Therefore Pompey was the more grieued to come into his handes that was but a méane man whose fidelitie he suspected eyther of his behauiour or of the former iniurie hée had done him before he did him pleasure Wherefore once agayne he yéelded to Furnius desired to be taken but it was not graunted Then he desired Amyntas â—ight take him which wheÌ„ Furnius sayde he should not do bycause it were a wrong to him that had commission from Antonie and so they brake Furnius Soldiours thought hée woulde haue yéelded the nexte day to Titius But he in the night makyng fires after the 〈…〉 and founding the trompe at euery reliefe of the watche with a few went out of the campe not tellyng them what he woulde doe for hée meante to haue gone to the sea and haue set Titius campe a fire whiche 〈…〉 he had 〈…〉 had not 〈…〉 gone from him and 〈…〉 his departure and whiche may he went Then Amyntas folowed him with 〈◊〉 hundred horsemen to whom whom he drewe nigh his people forsâ—â—ke hym some openly and some secretely When he sawe himself forsaken of all sides hée yéelded to Amyntas without condition refusing Tiâ—â—â—â— conditions Thus the yonger 〈◊〉 of great Pompey was taken â–ª losing his father when he was very yong and his
brother when he was toward mane estate Which two being taken away he lay close a great whye and vexed Spayne wyth priuie robberies tyll he hadde good rescet to him and then he professed hymselfe to he Pompeys sonne aâ—â— made open rodes and when Iulius Caesar was slayne he moued playne warre béeyng ayded wyth greate multitudes and forces of the suddayne gayning Shippes and publike treasure He â—ppressed Italy wyth famine and broughte hys enimies to what conditions he woulde and that most is when the wicked condemnation was executed in Rome he saued manye of the noble men that enioyed theyr Countrey by his benefyte but Fortune not fauouring hym he woulde neuer take the aduantage of hys enimie neglecting manye occasions he would lye still Thys was he that now is in bondage Titius commaunded hys army to sweare to Antony and put hym to death at Mileto when he hadde lyued to the age of fortye yeares eyther for that he remembred late displeasure and forgot olde good rurnes or for that he had such commaundemente of Antony There bée that saye that Plancus and not Antony dyd commaunde hym to dye whyche héeyng president of Syria had Antonyes signet and in greate causes wrote letters in hys name Some thynke it was done wyth Antonyes knowledge he fearyng the name of Pompey or for Cleopatra who fauoured Pompey the great Some thynke that Plancus dyd it of hymselfe for these causes and also that Pompey shoulde gyue no cause of dissention betwéene Caesar and Antony or for that Cleopatra woulde turne hyâ—auour to Pompey When hée was dispatched Antony tooke hys iourney into Armenia and Caesar agaynste the Slauonians continuall enimyes of the Romanes neuer obeying the Romane Empire but reâ—oltyng in euery ciuill warre And bycause the warres of Illyria are not thoroughly knowen vnto me nor sufficient to make a iust volume and can not â—e declared commodiously otherwise I hâ—ue thought it good to referre them to the time that theâ— were subiect to the Romances and making a compendious Treatise of them to ioyne thâ—â— with the affayres of 〈◊〉 FINIS Faultes escaped in the printing of the fiue Bookes of ciuill vvarres of Rome Pag.

Antonius had agréed with Sextus the yonger sonne of Pompey â–ª the great â–ª it was determined that Antonius shold make warre vpon the Parthians to reuenge the death of Crassus Wherefore presently he sent Ventidius to represse the Parthians and he to gratifie Octauius was content to marie his sister and to be made the holy minister of Iulius Caesar that was dead he remayning in Rome ruling by common consent with Octauius Caesar as well the matters of the Cittie as of the whole Empire And as it befalleth betwéene such Princes to make pastimes in play and matches Antonie alwayes had the worse at the whiche he was somewhat moued He had in his company an Aegiptian after the maner of a Soothsayer who eyther to please Cleopatra or to shew the very truth tolde Antonie then that hys fortune was obseured by the fortune of Octauius Therefore hée aduised him to go furder off For sayth he wheÌ„ thou art abrode thy nature is noble and coragious but when thou art with him it is deiect and afrayde of his Antonie whether by this motion or his owne inclination was content to leaue all there to Octauius and to go towarde his olde loue of Aegipt yet carying his new wife with him into Graecia pretending an earnest desire to reuenge the iniurie that was done to Crassus which was after this sorte Crassus Pompey and Caesar were all suters for the Consulship in Rome agaynst them stoode Cicero and Cato Crassus and Pompey were chosen and they continued Caesars authoritie in France for fiue yeares longer which he only desired In castyng lottes for the prouinces Spayne fell to Pompey whereof he was glad beyng giuen to please his wife and the people was gladde beyng desirous to haue Pompey nigh the Citie Syria fell to Crassus whereof he was

gale beganne to blowe when as Antonies Soldiours would tarry no longer but trustyng in the greatnesse of their ships moued the lefte battayle When Caesar sawe that hée was gladde and held still his right battaile that he might the more get his enimies out of the straightes and with his swifte shippes fighte with the huge heauy vessels of his enimies which were nothing well manned When the onset was giuen they did not couragiously encounter for Antonies ships could not well stirre to giue a good assault â–ª whiche is best done by mouyng Caesars shippes were not sitte to gyue the charge vpon the front bycause of the others sharpe and strong beakes nor durst do it on the sides for breakyng of their owne beakes for the greate tymber and yron worke of those mighty vessels Therefore it was like a fight on lande or rather as I may say it an assault of a wall For thrée or foure of Caesars did set vpon one of Antonies and fought with theyr dartes pykes and fyred weapons And Antonies menne flong downe theyr weapons from their towers out of their casting Engines Agrippa began to stretch foorth to compasse the rest whiche when Publicola dyd sée he was forced to do the same and so diuided

When she did sée him commyng she sette out a flagge to call hym so hée beyng hoysted vp to hyr did not looke vppon hyr nor shée vppon him but wente and satte solitarie in the foreparte of the shippe holdyng his hedde with bothe his handes Shortly Caesars swifte shippes that did followe hym were in sight whome Antonie put backe sauing one in the whiche Euricles was who fiersly pursued shakyng his speare with threatnyng woordes Antonie standyng still and askyng who is hée that foloweth Antonie it is I quoth hée Lacharis sonne that by the good fortune of Caesar do pursue thée for my Fathers death Yet did he not take Antonies shippe but the other that was of the same goodlinesse in the whiche was all the riche furniture of Cleopatra When hée was gone Antonie satte still after one sorte and in one place and spake not to Cleopatra eyther for anger or for shame But when hée was come to Tâ—naro the womenne that were familiar to them bothe brought them to talke and then to borde and bedde Entendyng to sende from thence into Africa he choose one of the Quéenes riche shippes full of Golde and Siluer and gaue it to hys fréendes wishyng them to prouide for themselues And when as they wepte and prayed hym to be of chéere hée desired them to folowe hys requeste and wrote to Theophilus hys officer at Corinth to gyue them quicke dispatch and to helpe to hyde them till Caesar might bée pacified Many of the shippes of burden and some of his frendes were come from the fight declaryng that the nauy was loste but they thought the army by lande was safe Wherefore he wrote to Canidius to make haste by Macedonia and bryng his armie into Asia In this case was Antonie Caesar had a long fighte with Antonies nauie the whiche at length by the vehemencie bothe of the rage of the Sea and courage of the enimie gaue ouer onely fiue thousande beyng slayne and thrée hundreth skippes taken There were but fewe that knewe of Antonies fléeyng and when they hearde it they wondred as at a thyng incredible That he hauyng ninetene legions of footemen and twelue thousande horsemen woulde forsake all and runne away as though hée had not knowne the vnstablenesse of Fortune and had not proued the chaunce of warre full many a tyme The Souldiours thought still hée woulde come among them in so muche as when Caesar sente messengers to them they reiected them and so continued seuen dayes but when their Capitayne Canidius was stolne away by night and they left comfortlesse they yéelded to the Conquerour who sayled vnto Athens and makyng vnitie with the Gretians distributed corne among them being afflicted before with all kynde of exaction and seruitude When Antonie had sent Cleopatra into Aegypt from Paretonio hée wente into Affrica with twoo fréendes only the one a Gretian and the other a Romane and there lyued solitarily till hée heard that hys Lieftenauntes there hadde forsaken him Then he would haue kylled himselfe but hys fréendes did stoppe him And so hée wente againe to Cleopatra who was diuising by great expenses to carrie hyr nauie into the nooke of the strayghtest place of the Sea that is thought to diuide Affrike and Asia that she might bée safe from inuasion But bycause the first shippes that came had euill lucke and for that Antonie hoped hys footemenne were safe at Actio hée causod hyr to leaue off and â—ensed the mouthes of the floudde Nilus This beyng done Antonie buylded him an house in the Sea at the Lanterne and ramped it aboute separating himselfe from the company of men Affirmyng hée woulde folowe the trade of Timon that was surnamed Hater of men For when as he was forsaken of his fréendes and deceyued of suche menne as he had brought to aduauncement hée tooke this ingratitude so to the harte that hée woulde refuse all mens societie euen as Timon dyd who was a Citizen of Athens and called that house Timons Tabernacle The firste that brought hym newes of the losse of hys footemen at Actio was Canidius hymselfe And shortly after it was tolde hym that Herode the Iewe was gone to Caesar with certayne legions and that other Prynces dyd the lyke none of these thyngs dyd moue him but as beyng well wyllyng to leaue bothe hope and care

he sawe the Parthians fetching their compasse and seeking to stoppe his waye hée commaunded the token of fight to be giuen and the campe to be leauied not as though he woulde fight but marche He passed by the Barbarians who were sette like a crescent commaunding the horsemen that when the footemen were so nigh as they mighte fight that the horsemen should turne vpon them The Parthians did iudge the Romaines order to be better by reason and behelde them marching wyth equall distaunce quietlye and with silence shaking their weapons When the token was giuen and they went on with shoute the horsemen turned vppon the enimie who receyued them with defence although they were within the shotte But when the footemen came with crye clashing of armour the horsemen of the Parthians gaue place with disorder and fledde before they came to handes Antonie followed the chase hauing greate hope to make an ende eyther of the whole warre or of a great part of it when they had folowed the chase the footemen sixe miles and the horsemenne thrice so muche They found no more taken but thirtie nor no more slayne but foure scoure euerye manne thinking it an harde case that they hauing victorye shoulde kyll so fewe and loosyng theyr Engines with so manye When they were ouercome they fell into a greate discourage and doubte of themselues The next daye they passed to Phraartes Campe and by the waye founde first a fewe enimies then more at last all as inuincibly and not to be hurte they prouoked him euerye where set vpon him so as hardly and with muche adoe the Romanes went to their Campe. And where they of the Citie hadde mace a sallie and put some of the Romanes from their trenche Antony was so angry as he punished euery tenth maÌ„ by death according to the deserte taking euery tenth by lotte that hadde forsaken his place and to the other insteade of wheate hée gaue barley The warre was painefull to bothe and the continuance more fearefull Antonie perceyuing hunger would folowe for he coulde get no forage without death and hurte of his souldiors Phraates knowing the Parthians had rather doe any thing than to lie in fielde and in an other land in the winter was afraide that if the Romanes did hold out and tarry that they woulde leaue hym the ayre begynning to chaunge and the time of equall day and night being at hande he deuised this crafte The best of the Parthians vsed the Romanes more gently in their foraging and other encounters suffering them to carry away some things and praysing their vertue as of men moste valiaunt in warre and in great estimation with their king as they were wel worthy And by this meane comming nearer togither and suffring the horsemenne to passe spake euill of Antonie bicause Phraates woulde gladly haue peace and spare so good and so many menne that had giuen none occasion but that he would tarry and abide two gret and harde enimies that is Winter and Hunger from the whiche they coulde hardely escape thoughe the Parthians would suffer them Many declaring this to Antonie and he deceiued by this hope deferred to sende an Heraulte to the Parthians king till he knewe of those wel willing Barbarians if they spake so muche with the Kings consent They affirming and promising that he ought not doubt nor dreade he sent one of his friendes againe requiring to receiue the ensigns the Captiues that he might not be thought altogither to saue himselfe and to escape The Parthians aunswering be shoulde not passe of that but if he did departe he shoulde haue peace and safete â—â— and by wherefore wythin fewe dayes he brake vppe and went his way And whereas he was eloquent in perswading and was wente to 〈…〉 the people and the armye by hys orations now for shame and heauinesse he omitted to speake to the multitude and commaunded Domitius Aenobarbus to do it Some were angry as though he despised them but the more parte were content and perceyued the matter therefore thought the rather to graunt and obey their Generall Béeing aboute to leade them the playne and barren waye a man that by kinde was called Mardus acquainted with the Parthian fashion faithfull to the Romanes and at the fielde of the engins came to Antonie and willed him to flée on the right hand of the hills and not to caste his armye laden with harnesse and weary with iourneys to suche a mighte of horse and shorte and that Phraates vnder shewe of beneuolence went aboute to entâ—aâ— him and that he woulde leade hym a shorter way in she whiche he shoulde haue sufficiencie of all things When Antonie heard this he tooke counsel and said he would not séeme too distruste the Parthians touching the peace but for the shortnesse of the way and the plentifull Townes inhabited hée praysed Mardus and requyred saith of him He offred to be be and till he brought them into Armenia Being bound he ledde them .ij. days very quietlie The which done Antony not looking for y Parthians and going negligently bycause of his boldenesse Marde sawe the banke of the floud newe broken and much water enterunning the place where they shoulde passe He knewe it was the Parthians worke to make their way the harder and to set that floude as an impdeiment vnto them and willed Antonie to 〈…〉 about him for the ennimie was not farre off Whiles he set hys men in order and commaunded the shotte to encounter with the beholde the Parthians appeared and came as they woulde haue compassed and dissolued the army The shotte comming vppon them and hurte being done on both sides they retyred and after came againe Then the French horsmen encountred with them and putte them backe so as that day they did no more attempte By this Antonie learning what he shoulde do he placed manye shotte not onely at the taileâ— out one she sides leadyng the armye in a square commaunding the horsemen to putte backe the ennimies but not to followe them too farre So the Parthians in these foure dayes hauyng done no more hurte than receiued waxed flowe and entended to goe their waye making Wynter their pretence The fifth daye Flauius Gallus a good Souldioure and a forwarde in feates of warre required Antonie to giue him some shotte for hys rerewarde and horsmen for hys fore warde and he woulde do a good seruice He gaue him and he kept backe the ennimies But nowe not returning to the footemen as he did before but following and fighting with more courage when the leaders of the â—aile saw him go too far they called hym backe but he would not They say Titius did take the Ensigne to turne him backe and rebuke Gallus that woulde lose so manye and so good men and that he rebuked him agayne and badde him medle with his owne matters and so Titius went his way Gallus setting vppon the face
