scriptures say And as a raging Lions whelpe that roreth at his pray An enimie to wicked men a frend vnto the good A plague and scourge to euerie such as shed the guiltlesse bloud A Iew I am of noble birth I saw the liuing God For feare of me the heathen fled as children from the rod I am the same which did redeeme all Israell from thrall Euen he whom God the Lord did raise Antiochus pride to appall Who had the land of Israell most cruellie opprest The citie of Ierusalem both sacked and distrest The temples robbed and destroide and thousands piteouslie Murthered and led away into captiuitie And placed wicked officers throughout the land likewise His heathenish lawes to maintaine and Gods lawes to despise As Phillip in Ierusalem a cruell man of mind Andromichus and Menelaus at garrison assignd And Apollonius a prince of Syria also With two and twentie thousand men who wrought the Iewes much wo And murthered them in wilfull wise without desert or cause Compelling such as did remaine to obey his wicked lawes Whose bloodie hand to euitate I was constraind to flie Vnto the woods and wildernesse in desart caues to lie With manie of my brethren mo where we consulted long Amongst our selues what we should do for to redresse this wrong At last with one consent we agréed couragiouslie to stand Against the wicked heathen sort who then possest the land And béeing about six thousand men I tooke the charge on me By one accord chose and elect their captaine chiefe to be To fight it out with manlie hart and after praiers made I marched forward with my folke the heathen to inuade And met with Apolonius and slew him with my hand And all his people more and lesse which then with me did stand His sword I tooke amid the strife perforce from him away And therewith fought during my life in manie a bloodie fray The citie of Ierusalem I wan from them againe And slew the heathen vpon heaps which did therein remaine I tooke the temple and did clense and purifie the same I did destroy the altars which they builded there with shame And since erected altars new as they had béene of yore And offered thereon sacrifice and incense as before I ouercame Seron in fight with thousands of his traine By me eight hundreth of his men were in one battell slaine Gorgias the captaine great I put to shamefull flight And slew there thousands with the sword and by Gods onely might Who sent his angels from aboue armed in glistering gold On horsebacke with a speare in hand most terrible to behold The valiant captaine Lysias of King Antiochus With thréescore thousand in one troupe though it be woonderous I conquered and put to flight and slew fiue thousand tho Yet had I to encounter them ten thousand and no mo In Idumea I did kill of heathens manie a man At Arabathan in like sort great slaughter I began Gazer Maspha and Casbon I did destroy with fire Mageth Bosor for they did gainst Israel conspire The gate of Iamnia I did burne and manie a ship therein And all that dwelt in Ioppa I plagued for their sin Timotheus with his Asia troupe I met and through Gods aide Which he from heauen sent to me my foes were so dismaide And confounded with such darkenesse of lightning on them throwen And fierie darts of present death that therewith they fell downe For feare where twentie thousand men and fiue hundreth were slaine Of footemen and of horsemen more six hundreth on the plaine And Timotheus béeing fled and in a corner found With Cereas his brother hid I slew with manie a wound Ephron and Carnaym eke strong cities I did sacke And euerie male therein with sword did bring to vtter wracke Yea so great a multitude that euerie stréet therein Was couerd with dead carcases so God did plague their sin The citie Hebron in like sort and Azot I did burne With altars idols images which heathen did adorne The puisant King Antiochus I met with all his traine And slew six hundreth of his men as scripture telleth plaine His captaine Nican or also I kild at Bethoron And all his soldiours in one day there scaped neuer a one His head and hand I did cut off béeing of the Iewes abhord His toong I cast vnto the fowles which did blaspheme the Lord. Thus ruled I in Israel with honor and renowne And wan the palme of victorie in countrie field and towne At last it was my fatall lot amid my foes to die Euen as the Lord decréeed had vpon my destinie For secret causes to him knowen which must be accomplished My death was this as you may ●nd in scripture if you reed When King Demetrius vnderstood how Nicanor was slaine He sent his captaine Bachydes to Iuda land againe With two and twentie thousand men well furnished to fight With whom my countrie to defend I met as it was right Accompanied but with a few thrée thousand and no mo Whereof the most part stole away or I to fight did go And left me there

rape to Troie reuenge to seeke Being furnished with eleuen score sailes and fortie for the warre All full of armed soldiours assembled from a farre And threescore noble kings and nine which landed before Troie With minds conspired all in one the Troians to destroie At whose arriuall first on shore I met them in the field Where at one time with my owne hand a thousand men I kild Beside the great and mightie King which Prothefilaus hight Whom I did cleaue vnto the chinne in all the armies sight And six and twentie princes mo during that ten yéeres strife When I did méete them daie by daie I

Aiax fierce I met oft in this broile With manie Gréekish captaines more and gaue them all the foile And so continued six yéeres space amongst my mortall foes Most like a valiant conquerour still dealing deadlie bloes And chasing them with bloodie blade vnto the verie strand Where some did leape into the seas to shun my heauie hand And there were drenched in the waues most miserablie Wherefore the Gréeks among themselues complained secretlie What slaughter and occision I made vpon their men And for redresse thereof they held a priuie counsell then Wherein they did conspire my death in this vnknightly wise That when I came into the field against mine enimies Achilles should with manie knights awaite me to oppresse When I were occupied in fight to bring me to distresse Affirming otherwise while I in Troie aliue did raigne Vnpossible it were for them the victorie to attaine Yet serud their treason for a while to small effect or none I did distresse them as before and killed manie a one Till casually vpon a day I marched to the field In former wonted guise to proue my force with speare and shield Although forewarned by my wife who by a dreame did sée That if I that day went to field my life should ended be Where I like mightie Mars himselfe slew downe on euerie side And brake their raies and renges all where I did go or ride And kild anone two mightie kings before Achilles face
