lands houses Sepulchres and Temples which we would not take from our greatest strange enimyes only setting a taâ—e of the tenth part vpon them but they haue made diuition to you of that which was your

theÌ„ selues that he spake nothing but right did like them wel as men of courage and louers of the people had them in great admiration and were turned into their fauour and determined to doe them good the next day â–ª whiche being come the Consuls called the people to an assembly and repeated the opinions Then Cicero did speake very much in the prayse of forgetting of iniuries of the which they reioiced and called Brutus and Cassius from the Temple They desired pledges to whom Lepidus Antonies sonnes were sente When Brutus Cassius were séene there was such a noyse as the Consuls that would haue sayde somwhat could not be suffered but wer first required to shake hands and be at one which they dyd And the Consuls mindes were troubled with feare or enuye that these men and their friends should preuayle in that common cause Then was Casars testament with the writings for the dispositioÌ„ of his goods brought forth which the people commaunded to be red There was Octauius his nephew by his sisters daughter fouÌ„d to be his sonne by adoption His gardings were giuen the people for solace and to euerye Citizen of Rome that was present seauentie fiue draÌ„mes of Athens Now was the people streyght turned to anger being abused by the name of a Tyranne that in hys testament had shewed most loue to his country And one thing séemed most to be pitied that Decimus Brutus one of the killers was made his sonne among his second heyres for the Râ—maines maner was to their first heyres to adde the second y if the first take not the feâ—oÌ„d may With this they were much troubled thinking it a wicked and abhominable an that Decimus should conspire againste Caesar whome hée had made one of his children Piso brought forth Caesars body to the which infinit numbers in armes ran to kepe it with much noyse poÌ„pe brought it to the place of spéech There was much lameÌ„tation weeping ther was rushing of harnesse togither with repentaunce of the forgetting of reueÌ„geance Antony marking how they were affected did not let it slippe but toke vpon him to make Caesars â—nneral sermon as Consul of a Consul friend of a friend knifman of a kinsman for Antony was partly his kinsman and to vse craft againe And thus he said I do not thinke it méete O Citizens that the buriall praise of suche a man should rather be done by me than by the whole country For what you haue altogither for the loue of hys vertue giuen him by decrée aswell the Senate as the people I thinke your voice and not Antonies oughte to expresse it This he vttered with sad and heauy cheare and wyth a framed voice declared euerything chiefly vpon the decrée whereby he was made a God holy inuiolate father of the country benefactor and gouernor and suche a one as neuer in al things they entituled other man to y like At euery of these words Antonie directed his countenance hands to Caesars body and with vehemencie of words opened the fact At euery title he gaue an addition with briefe speach mixte with pitie and indignation And when the decrée named him father of the Country then he saide This is the testimony of our duety And at these wordes holy inuiolate and vntouched and the refuge of all other he said None other made refuge of hym But he this holy and vntouched is kylled not takyng honoure by violences whiche he neuer desired and then be we verye thrall that bestowe them on the vnworthy neuer suing for them But you doe purge your selues O Citizens of this vnkindnesse in y you nowe do vse suche honoure towarde hym being dead Then rehearsing the othe that all shoulde kéepe Caesar and Caesars body and if any one wente about to betraye hym that they were accursed that would not defende him at this he extolled hys voice and helde vp his handes to the Capitoll saying O Iupiter Countries defendour and you other Gods I am ready to reuenge as I sware and made execration and when it séemes good to my companions to allowe the decrées I desire them to aide me At these plaine spéeches spoken agaynst the Senate an vprâ—are being made Antony waxed colde and recanted hys wordes It séemeth O Citizens saide hée that the things done haue not bin the worke of men â–ª but of Gods and that we ought to haue more consideration of the present than of the past bycause the thyngs to come â–ª maye bring vs to greater danger than these we haue if we shall returne to oure olde and waste the reste of the noble men that be in the Cittie Therfore let vs send thys holy one to the number of the blessed and sing to him his due hymne and mourning verse When
thither founde no alteration in the Gard and opened the dores and found hir dead lying in a bedde of gold most royally One of hir women called Iris lay dead at hir féete The other whose name was Charmium being ready to fall downe dead trimming the Crowne vpon hir head to them that cryed is this well done Charmium yea very weli quoth he for one that is descended of so many progenitours Kings When she had said thus much she fell downe dead by the beds side They say a Serpente called Aspis was brought among the figges and couered wyth the leaues the whiche did sting hir to death whose nature is to giue an heauinesse and sléepe without any shrinking or marke in the skinne onely putting forth a gentle sweat out of the face as ane were in a trance and hard to be wakened Some saye there were two little spots in hir arme whiche Caesar eyther â—eléeued or else would so haue it beléeued for in hir Image that he brought into triumph at Rome he set forth the Serpent and two markes in hir arme Howsoeuer it was Caesar was â—ory it was so chanced yet did he highly commend hir noble mind and caused hir to be royally layd by Antony and hir women to be nobly buryed also Cleopatra was .xxxix. yeares of age and hadde raigned .xxij. whereof .xiiij. was with Antony who liued .liij. yeares or at the most .lvj. Antonyes Images were throwen downe Cleopatras were not remoued for Archibius hir friend had obteyned that of Caesar for a thousand talents Antony had seauen childreÌ„ by thrée wiues whereof Attilus the eldest was only killed of Caesar the rest Octauia brought vp with hirs Attilus was betrayed of hys Scholemaister Theoderus who tooke a goodly iewell from hys necke when he was killed the which being required and denyed of him when he had it caused that he was hanged Cesarione whom Cleopatra had by the first Caesar beyng also betrayed of his scholemaster whoÌ„ she had sent with him a great treasure into India was slayne after she was dead Hir doughter called Cleopatra of hir name he maried to the flourishing king Iuba He promoted Antonie that was sonne to Fuluia to so high favour that next Agrippa and Liutas children he was chief Shée had by Marcellus two daughters and one sonne named Marcellus whom Caesar did adopt made him his sonne in law The other daughter was giuen to Agrippa Marcellus dying shortly after this mariage Octauia desired that Agrippa mighte marrie hys daughter Antonie hyrs Hir other daughters were bestowed vpon Domitius Aenobarba Drusus Liuias sonne and steppechilde to Caesar of whom came Germanicus and Claudius Germanicus died Claudius was Emperoure Of Germanicus came Caius who was Emperour also Agryppinae that had E. Domitio by Aenobarba did marrie with Claudius the Emperour who adopted Domitius calling him Nero Germanicus and was Emperour Thus of Antonies race diuerse Emperours issued Albeit himselfe had the lamentable end that you haue hearde and was the only cause why the Romane state was not restored to a common wealth agayne as the noble Brutus protested when he died al whose execrations came vpon Antonie before he died Eyther for that God woulde plague Antonies euill life or that he would chaunge the state of that mighty coÌ„mon wealth whiche had all the worlde at suche a becke as they might doe what they woulde whose outragious dealings as wel in foreine as ciuill murders it pleased God to punish with so great alteration or else for some secrete determinatioÌ„ for the natiuitie of his only sonne Iesus Christ our lord For now is Caesar the only Monarche without any competitor at all and yet had no childe to whom to leaue it but adopted Tiberius his wiues sonne whome that she might sée Emperour it is thought shée holpe to dispatche Caesar before his time who had the title of Augustus giuen him a thing neuer done before to any Romane not onely for augmentyng and encreasing the Empire of Rome but also for the deâ—â—nation and destinie by which it was assigned vnto him And after hée had shutte the gates of Ianus temple for that a generall peace folowed through out the world he disposed himself to set good orders in the citie and made many good lawes for the preseruation of the same in the whiche time diuerse tokeÌ„s appeared of the coÌ„ming of a greater Prince than he the Prince of Princes king of kings who was borne into this worlde in his time to the glory of God in the highest and the peace of the earth to men of good will. The great enuie that Iulius Caesar his great vncle had procured neuer fell vpon him either bicause men were weary of tumultes or for that they saw such modestie in him as he would attempt no such matter that was so odious that is to say to be called a kyng Eyther for that both he and the people had in memorie the malâ—diction cursing of the old Decrée against al theÌ„ that should bring in the name of a king againe which his father Iulius did not vtterly refuse or for that he passed not of the name hauing the rule or for that the name of Emperour was then so great as Dictator was wont to be whiche before was no otherwise than a gratification of the Soldiours to their Capitayne when he had stroken a battell manfully and slaine ten thousand enimies at which time it was lawfull for him to be called Imperator as among all other Cicero was in Asia when he ouercame the Amanianes at Isso where Darius was ouercome of Alexander The which name hath continued euer since to that soueraine Magistrate as well when the whole Empyre was in the hands of one Monarche as when it was diuided into twoo the one of the East and the other of the Weast The which beganne with Charles the Great and hath continued vnto Râ—dulphus that now is Emperour among the Germane nation in the weast Empire and ended in the East about us yeares since when the Citie of Constantinople was taken by Mabumetes the sonne of Amuretes that made himselfe a Turkishe Monke and the Emperour Constantine slayne and all the villanie in the worlde shewed to the poore Christians So as to him that will haue a Register of the whole number of Emperours reckening Iulius Caesar for the first shall finde them to be 118.

what is there then greater among men than a king but God who is the ruler of thy will and thy guide of this citie in steade of vs and being ofteÌ„ded with vs and al our nation here about for how can our things stande when a stronger generation riseth vpon vs This citie shall be happy mighty and long continuing Confirme thy pardon to vs that haue erred for feare of the losse of our priuate goods When the wisemeÌ„ had sayd thus Seleucus was glad and pardoned them And this muche haue I learned of Seleucia Seleucus being aliue made his sonne king of all the high landes And although this may appeare a princely and royall acte yet more princely and moderate was the taking of hys sonnes loue and the tempering of the affection therof Antiochus loued Stratonica wife to Seleucus and mother in lawe to hym and had borne a childe to Seleucus Antiochus being ashamed of this straunge passion neyther prosecuted so euill a thing nor vttered it but was sicke pyning away gladly procured his own death The notable phisition Erasistratus of counsell wyth Seleucus in moste waightye affaires coulde not coniecture the disease till he had perceyued that his body was sounde in all partes then he iudged the disease to be of the minde by the loue or affection of the whiche the body is afflicted Sorrow anger and care be commonly discouered but loue is kepte secreate in a modest mynde Of the whiche Antiochus woulde vtter nothing to hym thoughe hee vsed all gentle meanes to learne it secretly He sate by him and obserued all the mutations of hys bodye howe they stoode when any came in and finding that at all other hys body was quiet and féeble in like sorte But when Stratonica the Greate came in to sée him his minde was vexed with shamefastnesse and conscience and he then moste disquiet and silent and his pulses of it selfe more liuely and mouing and when she was gone féeble againe The Phifition therefore tolde Seleucus that his sonne was sicke of an incurable disease The King asking howe and crying out for griefe he sayde the sicknesse was Loue and the loue of a woman but it was impossible to haue hir Seleucus maruelling that there shoulde bée anye that hée being King of Asia could not persuade to marry with his sonne either for fauour for money and gifts and for his whole Kingdome which shoulde descend to the sicke prince the whiche he woulde giue him presently if any would preserue his healthe and only praide him to tell him whose wife it was Then saide Erasistratus it is my wife that he loueth Then Seleucus spake thus O good Erasistratus for the friendship and benefites that thou hast receyued of vs for the rare wisedome and vertue that is in thée wylte thou not saue a young man and a King and the sonne of thy friend and a King vnfortunate and temperate hiding his euill and more ready to dye wilt thou so little passe of Antiochus wilte thou so little regard Seleucus He framing still hys matter saide It is a thing by reason that cannot be auoyded for though you be his father you would not let him haue youre wife if he loued hir When Seleucus heard this he sware by all the kingly Gods that he woulde willingly and gladly let him haue hir and be a noble example of the loue of a good father to a sonne sober and continent in affliction and vnworthy such aduersitie Speaking many such things he began to be gréeued that he could not be a Phisitian to the sicke man but that he must haue néede of â—rasiâ—tratus in the matter When he perceyued the King to be so earnest in déede and not to dissemble he declared the case and shewed how he founde it out for all his hiding of it Seleucus being maruellous glad had yet two things to do the one to persuade his sonne and the other to persuade his wife When he had so done he called the armie togither which peraduenture had heard somewhat of the matter He rehearsed vnto them the actes that he had done and the great dominions that he had gotte aboue any of Alexanders successoures he sette out at length And bycause it was too muche for an olde man to gouerne I will quoth he diuide the greatnesse of it for your better assurance in time to come and I will giue part to them that I loue best It is reason that all you do ioyne with me in all thinge who haue bin encreased to so great rule and power vnder me after Alexander The chiefest things that I haue and most worthy my kingdome is myne eldest sonne and my wife They shall not be long withoute chyldren being yong and so shall you haue more stayes of this state In your presence I ioyne theÌ„ togither in marriage and I sende them to be kings into the vpper regions And I institute that not rather the custome of the Persians or other nations be a lawe among you than a common law to you all that it is euer iust that is ordeyned among you by the king Thus he sayde The armye made acclamations that he was the most noble King since Alexander and the most worthy father When Seleucus had said as muche to Stratonica and his sonne he celebrated the matrimony and sent them to their kingdoms an acte more glorious and victorious than all that euer he had done in the warres He hadde vnder him thréescore and twelue Princes of so greate a Countrey was he king Hauing gyuen the most part to his sonne he kept only y sea coast at Euphrates The last warre that he hadde was with Lysimachus in Phrygia next Hellespont in the which he ouercame Lysimachus that was killed in the fight He passyng Hellespont and going to Lysimachia was killed For Ptolomie following kylled him He was called Ceraunus the sonne of Ptolomeus Sâ—teros and Eurydices daughter to Antipaâ—er He fledde oute of Egipt for feare bycause he suspected that Ptolomie woulde giue the Kingdome to his youngest sonne And Seleucus receyued him and kept him as the son of his friend and ledde hym aboute with hym that should kyll him Thus dyed Seleucus at .lxxiij. yeares of his age and xltj of his raigne And I thinke the saying was meant of hym Make no haste to Europe Asia

house where hée kepte hys Mayster in a vaughte in whiche they are woonte to laye Harnesse Money or Wrytinges and fedde hym in the nyghte tyll the Peace was made An other frée made man kéepyng the Sepulchre of hys Master did also preserue his Maisters Sonne in the same graue togither with his Father Lucretius wanderyng with twoo faythfull seruauntes for lacke of meate returned to hys wyfe beyng borne in a litter of hys seruauntes into the Citie as a sicke man when it happened that one of the seruaunts had broken hys legge hée wente on with the other tyll hée came to the gates where hys Father afore beyng proscrybed of Sylla was taken The Souldiours commyng aboute hym hée was muche afrayde for the lucke of the place wherefore hée fledde with a seruaunte and was hydde of hym in a graue and chaunsing that robbers of Sepulchers dyd searche graues the seruaunt offered hymselfe to bée spoyled of the robbers whyles the maister fledde to the gates and tarried tyll hys seruaunt came to hym whose garmentes hée put on and wente to hys wyfe vnder whose care beyng kepte hée was hidde betwene twoo beames till hée was pardoned by meanes made for him of some to the thrée menne And after peace was made he had the office of a Consull Sergius was hydde of Antonie hymselfe tyll hée hadde perswaded Plancus the Consull to proclayme hys reuocation agayne In the dissention of Caesar and Antonie when Antonie was declared enimye of the Senate hée onely openly gaue voyce for hys acquitall And thus these were saued Pomponius decked hymselfe lyke a Pretor and hys seruants lyke the Sergeaunts and so went thorough the Citties wyth his maces and Officers rounde aboute hym that hée should not bée knowne and at the gates hée tooke publyque coaches and wente thorough Italie euery manne receyuyng hym and sendyng to hym as a Pretor appoynted of the thrée menne to make truce wyth Pompey to whome also hée came in a publike Galley Apuleius and Aruntius counterfaiting themselues to be Capitaynes and their seruauntes Souldiours ranne to the gates as Capitaynes and pursued others and by the way they deliuered prysoners and receyued suche as came to them so as eyther of them had a sufficient bande with Ensignes and armour and sheâ—â—e of an army And chancing that by diuerse wayes they went toward the Sea
they bothe camped in one hil with great feare lookyng one to another In the mornyng not hauyng cléere sight and thinkyng that eyther of them had bene sente to destroy the other they fought it out very fiercely tyll they knewe the truthe Then repenting that déede they threw away their weapoÌ„s and wayled that fortune shoulde be so contrarie to them and tooke shippe the one saylyng to Brutus the other to Pompey And he went on with Pompey and the other vnder Brutus was president of Bythinia and when Brutus was dead deliuered it to Antonie and was saued A seruaunt of Ventidius when he was firste condemned put him in fetters as though he woulde haue deliuered hym to the killers in the night he perswaded hys felowes and cladde them lyke Souldiours and his mayster lyke a Capitaine and wente out lyke a bande appoynted and brought his mayster out of the Citie passing through Italy into Sicelie many tymes méeting other Capitaynes that sought Ventidius Another hidde hys mayster in a Sepulchre and when hée coulde not abyde the fearfulnesse of fansie in the Sepulchre hée hidde him in an homely house nyghe the whiche a Souldiour dwellyng he coulde not abyde that feare neyther Wherefore turnyng from feare to extréeme boldenesse he shaued hys head and played the schoolemayster in Rome till the truce Volutius being Aedile was condemned He hauyng friendship with a Priest of Isis borowed a stole and a vesture downe to the foote and put on a dogges heade and in that maner of furious seruice passed safe to Pompey The Calenians dyd kéepe Sittius the Citizen that had liberally spent of his substance vpon them with weapons warded him rebuking his seruants kéeping the soldiours froÌ„ the walles till the furye béeyng paste they sent to the thrée men for him and obtayned that Sittius excluded from the rest of Italy should remaine in his countrey So Sittius is the firste and onelye man that as a straunger was an outlawe in his owne countrey Varrâ— a Philosopher and a writer of Histories hauing doone good seruice in the warres and in place of a Lieutenaunt and therefore peraduenture as an ennimie to the Monarchie was condemned His friends béeyng desirous to receiue him and contending for hym Calenus obtay ned hym and kept him at his Vineyarde whither Antony came sometyme to walke and yet neuer a one within did bewraye Varro neyther of hys owne seruaunts or of Calenus Virginius an eloquentman taughte his seruauntes that if they kylled him for a little money and that with danger they shoulde get hate and at length be in great feare but if they saued him they should win sure glory good hope and hereafter money muche more abundant and certaine Wherefore they fled with him as with their fellowe seruaunte and in the way béeing knowne they fought with the souldiours and he being taken of them tolde them also that they woulde not kill hym for anye malice but for onelye hope of money which they shoulde haue more iustlye and plentifullye if they would go with hym to the sea where quoth he my wife hathe a shippe with mony They being persuaded brought hym to the sea his wife as shée was appointed came to the sea and bycause hir husbande tarryed thinking he had bin gone to Pompey she went hir way leauing a seruaÌ„t on shore to she whim so WheÌ„ Virginius was come the seruant ranne vnto him and shewed him where his shippe sayled what his Maistresse said of the money and that he was left behinde to tell him The souldiours perceiuing al to be true Virginius desired them to staye til he might call his wife backe or goe with him to hir for their mony They tooke a boate and with great labour rowed him into Sicelie where receyuing their promise they woulde not goe from him but tarryed with him till the ende A certaine Marrinet receyued Rebulus into a shippe to goe into Sicelie and required his mony which if he had not he would accuse him that he didde as Themistocles did when he fledde that is threatned he would accuse him for receyuing him for mony wherefore the Mariner was afrayde and broughte him vnto Pompey Murcus being a Lieutenante vnder Brutus was condemned and when Brutus was ouercome he was taken and made himselfe as a seruant whome Barbula bought and perceyuing him to be apte made him chiefe of his fellowes and gaue him money to bestowe and when he sawe him still more wise and diligent than the common nature of seruantes he put him in hope that if he were one of the proscribed men he woulde saue him if he woulde confesse it He denying it earnestly and declaring his stocke his name and former maysters he caried him to Rome thinking if he had bene a condemned man he woulde haue refused to goe But he followed chéerefully and being at the gates of the Consuls house a friend of Barbulas that saw Murcus in â—eruile maner wayting vpon him did secretly tell him in his eare He by Agrippa obteined of Caesar that Murcus was pardoned and remained friende to Caesar Not long after it happened that he was a Captaine in the warre againste Antonie at Actio and Barbula was a Capitayne of Antonies where fortune came about to bothe alike For when Antonie was ouerthrowen he was taken and counterfeyted to be a seruant whome Murcus bought as ignorant But shewing all to Caesar he obteyned hys pardon and so requited his former benefit To these fortune was like on both sides and so continued for they were officers togither in one dignitie at Rome Balbinus fléeing and retourning with Pompey and being made Consull it hapned that Lepidus of so great a Prince being made a priuate man by Caesar came to this necessitie y when Maecenas did accuse Lepidus his sonne of conspiracie against Caesar and also accused the mother as consenting to hir sonne and Lepidus himselfe as a weake man he despised the sonne he sent to Caesar to Actio for the mother bicause she was a woman and not to be â—aryed he required suretie to be putte before the Consull But when no man would be hir suretie Lepidus wayted many times at Balbinus dores and comming where he sate in Judgemente and being ofte repulsed of the officers at length with much ado he spake thus The accusers do confesse mine innocencie affirming that I am neyther consenting to my wife nor my sonne I didde not proscribe thée when I was one of the Proscribers Haue respect vnto the chaunces of the worlde and to me that attende vpon thée giue this grace that eyther my wife may goe to Caesar vpon my suretie or I be bounde to goe with hyr Whiles Lepidus spake this Balbinus considering the mutation deliuered the wife of hir bonde Yong Cicero was sent of his father into Grecia foreseing what would come From Greece he went to Brutus after Brutus death to Pompey with
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 bâ—â—eâ—â—e Sicelie East Weast and South And a 〈…〉 was the tenth after the longest day of the yeare which the Romanes cal Calendes in the honour of old Caesar called Iulie whiche before was named 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

Asia some say were the progenitors some the posteritie of the Hiberians of Europe and some say they were onely of one nâ—me for their maner and tongue is nothing like Mithridates wintred at Dioscuride which Citie they of Cholcide thinke to bée a Monument of the trauaile of Castor and the Argonants and thought he were yet fléeâ—ng he conceyued no litle matter in his mynde but to goâ— aboute all Pontus in a circle and the Sâ—yâ—hians beyond Pontâ—s and the Fenne of Meotâ— and attempâ— Bâ—sphorus and to take the kingdome of Machares his sonne as vnprofytable to him and then to make open warre againste the Romanes and to begin it from Euroâ—e they béeing in Asia and to put Porus in the middest whiche some thinke to be called Bespheros of â—â— swimming ouer when she was made a Cowe and fled â—he â—elousie of Iuno Thus muche beyonde all reason didde Mithridates thinke to bring to passe He passed by the Seythian nations both that were enimies or otherwise eyther by perswasion or violence Thus fleing and in miserye â–ª he was honoured and seared He pâ—â—â—d by the Heâ—iochians they receyuing him The Achaeans that wold haue resisted hym he put to flight They as it is saide came froÌ„ to Pâ—ntus beyng driuen by tempest and these suffered muche of the Barbarians bycause they were Grecians And when they sent into their countrey for shippes and were demed they so hated the Greekes that as Sâ—ythians they sacrificed as many Greekes as came fyrste all for anger then the fairest onely at laste them to whome it fell by lotte And thus muche of Acheans and Sâ—ythians Mithâ—idates comming to Meotis of the which were many Princes they all receiued him and sent to him for the glorye of hys actes kingdome and power yet worthy to be hanored bringing him many gifts and sending others He made lignage with them thinking to do straunge frats as to go from Thracia to Macedonia from Macedonia to Pannonia and so to Italy and the mountains of the Alpes and made marriages for his daughters with the mightiest of his confederateurs When his sonne Machares hearde that he had come so gret a way in so little time thorowe so many fierce nations and the places called the Locks of Sâ—ythia that no man had gone before hée sent certaine Ambassadors vnto him to excuse hym that for necessitie he obeyed the Romanes And when he sawe his anger extreame he fledde into Ponto Cherronâ—so burning his shippes that hys father shoulde not folow him But he sending other to take hym he kylled himselfe Mithridates killed all his friendes that he betooke to him â–ª when he went to that Kingdome The familiars of his sonne that were come by priuate friendship he lette goe vnhurte Thus did Mithridates Pompâ—â— â—â—llowed hym fléeâ—ng as farre as Cholcos not thinking good to follow him anâ— further nor to passe aboute Pontus or the Fenne of Meotâ—â— nor supposing that in that case he woulde attempt any great matter he went to Cholcos to sée the historie of Argonante and Castor and Pâ—â—lux and the iourney of Hercules and thiesly to see the passion of Prometheus which they say he suffered at the hyll of Caucasus There be many springs that runne from Cauâ—â—sâ—â— that carry shrâ—ddes of gold that can not be seene and the inhabitants put fleeses into the streaâ—â— where it is deepest and so gather the gold sand that is conteyned And peraduenture such a one was the golden fleese that Aetâ—s bare on hys backe Whilest Pompey was bâ—holding this story other nations that were nigh sent vnto him but Oâ—azes the Kyng of Albanâ—a and Artocus the king of Hiberâ—a with â—00 thousant lay in wayt for him at Circus the floud flowing into the Sea of Casâ—â— with twelue mouthes many riuers running into him Araâ—os greatest of all When Pompey hearde of the traynâ—s he passed the floud and droue the Barbariâ—â—s into the thickest woddes They are good fighters in woddes hiding themseâ—ues and appearing suddainâ—ly agayne He compassed the wodde with his army and burned it and chaced them that fledde vntill all sent hostages giftes of whom he trumphed in Rome AmoÌ„g the hostages and prisoners there were sound women hauing no lesse woundes than men and they were thoughtâ— to be Amâ—zâ—â—â—s â—yther bycause the Amazones that be a nation therby were câ—me to help them or for that the Barbaâ—taâ—s call all warlike women Amazones Pompâ—y going from thence â—ncâ—mped in Armeâ—ia accusing Tigrâ—â—es for helping of Mithâ—â—dâ—ies marching to Aâ—tâ—zata wher the kings pallace was Tigranes would not haue warre He had children by Mithridates daughter of the whiche Tigâ—anes kylled two one in fight making him warre the other â—icause he would not take him vp when he had a fall at hunting and bycause he did set the crowne on his head The third bycâ—use he lamented his father in that hunting was crowned of him but rebelling shortly after he was ouercome of his father and fledde to Phraaâ—â—â— king of the Parthians that now succeeded in the Kingdome to his father Sintrico When Pompey was at hande conferrâ—ng with Phraates and he agréeâ—ng and séeking priuate fâ—endship with Pompey the yong man humbly fledde to Pompey being Mithridates daughters sonne But great was the estimatioÌ„ of Pompey among the Barbarians for iustice and faithfulnesse to the which his father Tigranes also trusting came vnto him withou senâ—ing any messengers aâ—ore 〈◊〉 himselfe all his to Pompey and the â—â—dgâ—ment bâ—twâ—â—e him and his soâ—â—e Pompey sent his chiefe Capâ—aynes commanding them to meeâ—e y King with all honor they that were with Tigranes bycause they had not sent before fledde but Tigranes weÌ„â— on honoured Pompey as the better after the BarbariaÌ„ fashion Some say he was brought by y sergeants whom Pompey had sent to setch him Howsoeuer he came he made an accompt of his doyngs and gaue to Pompey sire M. talents to euery common Souldioure 50. drammes to a Captayne of a band a M. and to a collonell tenne M. Pompey forgaue all y was passed and agreed him with his sonne and appoynted him to reigne in Sophene and Gordene these be noâ—â—e Armenâ—a the lesse and his father in the rest of Armeâ—â—a in the which his sonne should succéede him The land that he had conquered he commanded him to leaue and he left Syria froÌ„ Euphâ—ates to the Sea for Tigranes had this and a part of Ciliâ—ia putting out Antiochus that was called the dutifull The Armentans that for â—ooke Tigranes when
he went to Pompey remayning in suspition persuaded his sonne being yet with Pompey to entrappe hys father He was taken and bounde and in that time stirring the Parthians agâ—inst Pompey was brought in triumph dispatched Pompey thinking all warre had bin ended builded a citie where be ouercame Mithâ—iâ—ates and of y acte called it Nicopolis it is in Armenâ—â— y lesse He restored y kingdome of Cappadoâ—ia to Ariobarzâ—nâ—s and added Sophene Gordene which he had giueÌ„ to Tigranes sonne the which now â—e subiâ—ct to Cappadâ—cia Hâ— gaue him also Cabâ—la a citie of Ciâ—icia others y which

that parte of Syria that is aboute Euphrates which is called Caele Phâ—nice and Palestinâ— â–ª and the Idumeans and â—â—â—reans and al other names of Syria he brought vnder the Romanes dominion without any warre hauing no matter againste Antiochus the pittifull being present and suing for his fathers Kingdome but bycause he thought that it being taken from Tigranes who had put out Antiochus it might wel ve iudged to the people â—â— Rome Whiles he was aboute these matters Ambasâ—adors came vnto him from Phraates and Tigranes that were at warre They that came from Tigranes desired helpe as of their fryende They that came from Phraates desired to be receyued into amitie with the Romaines And Pompey not minding to make war vppon the Parthians without the decrae of the Senate sent arbitrers to reconcile them And thus he did Mithridates had nowe gone about Pontus and hauing taken Pâ—â—ticupâ—on that is the chiefe cittie of Marchandise in Europâ— at the entrie of Pontus he killed hys sonne Sâ—phares at Pâ—â—â— for hys mothers faulte whiche was this Mithridates had a castle in the whiche were hidde vnder the grounde in brasen vessels bounde with yron muche treasure secretely Stratonice one of Mithridates wiues or women whyche had the gouernement and kéeping of this Castel whiles Mithridates went about Pontus deliuered the Castle to Pompey and reuealed the treasure that was vnknowne Onely wyth this condition that if Pompey tooke hir sonne Sâ—phares â—â— should saue him He hauing the money promised to saue hir sonne and gaue hir leaue to carie awaye hir owne things When Mithridates knew what was done he killed Siphâ—res at the narrowe sea and threw hys bâ—â—ye vnburyed hys mother sâ—yng it on the other shoare Thâ—s he killed the childe to be reuenged of the mother He sent Ambassadors to Pompey being in Syria not hearyng whither he were aliue or dead that hee might enioy his fathers kingdom â–ª and pay Tribute for it to the Romaines Pompey bad hâ—â— come and speake for himselfe as Tigranes had done That he saide he woulde neuer doe being Mithridates but hâ— woulde sende some of his children and friendes Thus he sayd and withall gathered an army togither of frée and bond bringing much armour shot and munition sparing no mans wodde nor labouring Oxe to make strings He â—ette taxes vpon euery man though he were but of small substance the collectors whereof did much spight which he knew not of And being sick in his face of a bile he was healed of y Eunuchs and only senâ— of theÌ„ When he was whole and his army gathered there was thréescore choyce â–ª bandes with sixe hundred in a company and there was another great multitude and shippes and places which his Captaynes had got whilest he was sicke He sent a part of his army to Phanagorea whiche was another mart towne at the mouth that he mighte haue his entries on both sides Pompey being yet in Syria Castor of Phanagorea bâ—yng iniured of Triphon an Eunuch of the Kings he killed Triphon as he entred and called the people to libertie and they bycause the Castell was holden of Artaphernes and other sonnes of the Kings did bring woodde and burned the tower by the whyche feare Artaphernes Darius and Xerxes Ozethres and Eupatra Mithridates children gaue themselues to be taken Artaphernes was about fortie yeares olde the other were faire yong men There was another daughter of Mithridates called Cleopatra who tarried still whome the father louing for hir noble heart sent diuers Foystes and toke hir away Other Castels there about lately taken of Mithridates following the bâ—ldnesse of the Phanagoreans reuolted from Mithridates Xerronesus Theâ—dosia Nymphâ—on and all other that were fitte for the warre aboute Pontus He séeing these many reuoltings and hauing his army in suspition not faithfull being compelled to serue of necessitie and for the great tributes and the infidelitie of armies always toward the Generalles that be in miserie he sent his daughters by his Eunuchs to be married to the princes of Scythia requyring an army to be sente him with spéede sending fiue hundreth Souldyoures with them They being not very farre off Mithridates killed the Eunuchs bycause they were euer iniured of the Eunuchs that might do most with Mithridates and led the maydes â—o Pompey Mithridates being spoyled of so many childreÌ„ Castles and of his whole kingdome and not fitte nowe for to make battell nor loking for anye helpe of the Scythians yet not conceyuing any small matter as one that was in calamitie but sent to the Frenchmen whome he hadde made friends long before intending to go to them and inuade Italy with them thynking many of Italy were wéery of the Romanes and hearing that Anniball â–ª began the warre in Spayne and was most fearefull to the Romanes He knew that of late almost all Italy rebelled from Rome and kepte a long warre with them and that Spartaâ—â—â— â— swordplayer was stirred vp of them a man of no regard With this opinion he marched toward France This most bold enterprise the army disappoynted being not content with so great a boldnesse nor so long a iourney to be ledde into a strange countrey against men whom they could not ouercome in their owne countrey thinking Mithridates to be in despaire of all things and would in labour and like a king end his life rather than in rest Yet a while they abode and were quiet for he was no smal king and not to be contemned euen in aduersitie They standing thus Pharnaces that was most déere to him of al his sonnes whome he had many times declared to be the successour of his kingdome eyther for feare of his kingdome by this army being yet like
Carthagies laughed at the fyrste not perceyuing the policie but when it was perceyued and the fyghâ—e begunne the Iberians selte the Cartes on fyre whereby the Oxen were dryuen vpen the Numidians And when the fire was dispersed euery where and the Oxen raâ—â—e hyther and thyther it muche disordered the Affiâ—canes and brake their aray whereby the Iberians came vppon them and kylled Amilchar Barcha and the rest that fought but the Carthagies béeyng allured by the pray of Iberia sente another armâ— to Asdruball that was Barchas sonne in law and committed the rule of that army to him He ioyned to him Anniball that was sonne to Barcha as his Lieutenant and his wiues brother who after got so great a name by his valiant actes being very yong but expert in the warre and accepted to the souldyoures He wanne manye places of Iberia by fayre wordes as he was verye apte to persuade and when any thing was to be done by force he did vse the seruice of the yong man By thys meane he wente ouer Spayne from the Oâ—â—identall Sea to the floud Iberus and made all subâ—ect to the Carthagies Empire the which floud diuiding Spayne in the middest floweth into the Ocâ—â—n towarde the North fiue dayes iourney from the Mountaines But the Saguntines an olde inhabitance from the Zathintians which be in the middest betwéene the mountaynes and the floud and all other that were come of the Greekes aboute the place called Emporio and all other that inhabited any part of Ibeâ—â—â— being afrayd sent four Embassadors to Rome wherfore the Romanes not willing the power of the Carthagies to growe too much sent Embassadors to Câ—thage where it was agréed that Iberus should be the end of the Carthagies dominion in Spaine and that the Romanes should not make warre vpon their subiects beyoude that floud nor the Carthagies to gâ—â— beyonde that floud to moue warre and that the Saguntines and other Greeke people which were in Iberia shoulde be frée and liue with their owne lawes all the whiche were expressed in the league that was made betwéene the Romanes and the Carthagies When this was done a slaue killed Asdruball whose maister he had cruelly kylled before â–ª whilest he was taking order for that parte of Iberia that obeyed Carthage and gone a hunting whome Annâ—ball after tormented most cruelly and kylled The army made Anniball Barcha their Captayne a very yong man and welbeloued of them The enimies of Amilchar Barcha in the Senate of Carthage agréed to it who fearing the power of Asdruball and Amilchar did laughe at Anniball as a rong man and beganne â—o molest in lawe the friendes of them accusing them of the same â—aults that they accused the other that were deade vsing the peoples fauour whiche hated them for the losses they had in the tyme of Barcha and Asdruball They required those gifts that Barcha or Anniball sent to them being of the spople of the ennimies They sent to Anniball for helpe â—hewing that he also would be despised of his fathers ennimies except hée hadde nowe some regard of them that might defene his matters there This was not vnknowne to Anniball for he knew well ynough that the beginning of deceyts would be vppon him and thought it not good to suffer suche enmities continuallye with seare as his father and grandfather had done nor to liue all his lyfe after the lightenesse of the Carthagies vsâ—ng them vnthanke fullye that were of their syde and hadde doone well for the common wealth There was a rumor when Anniball was a childe and at hys fathers commandement y he brought hym into the place where hée made sacrifices and made hym laye his hand vppon the Altare and sweare that so soone as he had any rule in the common wealth he shoulde bée a mortall ennimie to the Romanes Therfore he purposed to put his country to great and continuall dangers that by that feare he might preserue hys own his friends matters from perâ—ll Therfore when he saw that Affâ—â—ca was in good state and the Iberians that were vnder the Carthagies lyke to continue in obedience he thoughte he shoulde winne unmortall fame if he made warre agayne vppon the Romanes by the feare whereof the Carthagies shoulde be occupied and mighte by good fortune suboue to hys Countrey the Empire of all the worlde For hée hoped that if the Romanes were broughte downe that none shoulde be able to matche wyth hym but if it chaâ—nced otherwise yet hys enterprise shoulde be honorable And that the beginning myght bréede his estimation if he pasied the floude Iberâ—â— he caused the Torboletanes whych be nexte the Saguntines to come comylaine that the Saguntines had made râ—des vpoÌ„ them â—one them other hurts Which being persâ—aded by him he seÌ„t theyr Ambassadors to Carthage and he wrote letters priuilye in the whiche he signified that the Romanes practised with â—he Iberians of the Carthage iurisdiction to reuolte from them and that the Saguntines didde procure the same from the Romaynes and that there was no deceit left vndone And of this he wrote many letters till the Senate appointed him to do with the Saguntines that shoulde be profitable to the common wealth Hee haning got this occasion practised with the Torboletans agayn that they should come to him and complaine againe of the Saguntines who also sent fiftéene Ambassadoures to hym And when Anniball wylied them to declare their controuersies and they anuÌ„â—ered they woulde make the Romanes their Judges they were commanded of Anniball to go out of hys campe And that night passing the ryuer he inuaded that lande and set hys artillerie agaynst their Citie which when he could not take he compassed with ditche wall and trench Then placing many garrisons he continued the siege and in fewe dayes wente and came dyuerse tymes The Saguntines being in great feare with these sodaine euils sent Ambassadours to Rome to whome the Senate ioyned their Ambassadoures and sent firste to Anniball to put him in remembraunce of the league who if he would not obey they shoulde go to Carthage and aceuse hym Wyth these Ambassadoures they went to Iberia and when they came from their Shyppes to the Campe they were commanded of Anniball to go no surther Wherefore they went to Carthage wyth the Saguntine Ambassadors where they sheâ—â—ed that the league was broken They on the other side accused the Saguntines and saide they had done hurte to their Subiectes The Saguntines on the contrary side called them to the iudgement of the Romanes They sayde the iudgement was in vame when the matter muste bee tryed by force Whiche when the Romaines vnderstoode some thought ayde to bée sente out of handâ— to the Saguntines some denyed it affyrmyng the Saguntines not to be comprehended in the league but lefte frée So as bothe the besâ—â—gers and the besieged muste vse their own lawes

and sent the ashes to hys sonne Antiochus who didde make a Sepulchre for him at Seleucia nexte the Sea with a temple and a Chappell and named the Chappell Nicatâ—rio We learn that Lysimachus was one

didde begynne to reuolte from the Kingdome subiecte to the Seleucidâ—ns bycause it beganne to be molested After hym that was called God reigned Seleucus his sonne by Laodice named Callinicos After Seleucâ—â— two children of Seleucus in order Seleucus and Antiochus Scleucus being weake and féeble and hauing a disoâ—edient armie was poysoned of his friendes after he had raigned two yeares Then Antiochus the Great of whom I haue written who was ouercome of the Romanes He raigned xxxvij years Of him and his children I haue spoken before both being kings Seleucus and Antiochus Seleucus twelue

Ptolomeus King of Egipt maintained for hate of Demetrius And Demetâ—ius losing his kingdome by Ptolomie dyed but Demetrius sonne to hym that was called Sotor expelled Alexander bicause he did ouercome a bastarde by birth he was called Nicator of the Syrians the second after Seleucus He also after Seleucus made warre vppon the Parthians where being Captiue he liued with Phraarta the Kyng whose
