To the most Noble Prince Henrie by the grace of God Prince of Great Britaine ROscius the Romane Tragedian most noble Prince contending with Cicero the Orator which of them both should perswade most people either Roscius with his motions and gestures of his body or Cicero with varietie and copy of his tongue This hath been in exercise in Greece much vsed and now in Rome more but of such motions and gestures of men that can speake with their hands with their eies with their shoulders and with their feet Salomon bids vs to take heed that will speake like Aristippus to Dionisius heeles Such were they that held their heads on the left side like King Philip of Macedon while Philip liued such were they after Philip that like Alexander his Sonne with their bushes and standing haires would be called Opisthocomae because Alexander was so now too many such like the Courtiers of Meroe in Ethiope where if their King halt they will also halt in such sort that Cirses and Calipso could not make such a Metamorphosis of Vlisses men as men make of themselues There was then in Rome but one bird that was taught to say Aue Caesar Imperator one bird in Carthage to say Deus est hanno and one bird in all Greece that was taught to say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 but not onely these flattering fowles fledde from Rome from Carthage and from Greece to Great Britane of whom we may now say as Cicero said then of the like Quibus credamus nescimus But also of late such Rauens and Vultures that salute vs with their tongues and say Aue and with their hearts Caue which if their bodies were opened as the Athenians did Aristomenes or as the Lacedemonians did Hermogenes their hearts should bee found as their hearts were pilosa hispida full of haires and thornes In the time of Torquine the proud there was in Rome but one Serpent that could bark like a dogge and one dogge that could speake like a man but now so many barking Serpents in Rome so many speaking dogs out of Rome that Quos fugiamus ignoramus But such are the fruits of some religion that as then in Egypt they had their Sphinxes in their temples to expound their darke and obscure Diuinitie full of Oracles so now they haue in Rome not onely Egyptian Sphinxes in their temples but also Corinthian Sphinxes in their studies such as Cicero charged Hortensius to haue in his house to plead his causes But as then many Philosophers went from Greece to India and to Ethiope to see Sacerdotes solis and the most famous table of the Son in Sabulo and to heare Hiarchas lectures of the nature and motions of the starres and of Tantalus well So also many now goe from Great Britane to Rome not as Appollonius the Philosopher went from Greece to India to heare the Gymnosophists but as Saul went from Hierusalem to Damasco for commission and authoritie to kill and murther Christians and to persecute Kingdomes and Countreys One of your Maiesties most humble Britanes LODOVVIK LLOID The Iubile of Brittane Coelum coeli domino c.
