Iulius Cesar into Britaine WHen Iulius Cesar had ended his mightie and huge battailes about the stood Rhene he marched into the regiō of Fraunce at the same time repairing with a freshe multitude his Legiōs but the chief cause of his warie in Fraunce was that of long time he was moued in minde to see this noble Islande of Britain whose fame for nobilitee was knowen and bruted not onelie in Rome but also in the vttermoste lādes Iulius Cesar was wroth with thē because in his warre sturred in Fraunce the fearce Britaines aided the Fenche men and did mightilie encounter battaill with the Romaines whose prowes and valiaunt fight slaked the proude and loftie stomackes of the Romaines and droue thē to diuerse hasardes of battaill But Cesar as a noble warrier preferryng nobilitee and worthinesse of fame before money or cowardly quietnes ceased not to enter on y e fearce Britaines and thereto prepared his Shippes the Winter tyme folowyng that assone as oportunitee of the yere serued to passe with all power against them In the meane tyme Cesar inquired of the Marchauntes who with marchaundise had accesse to the Islande as concernyng the quātitee and bignes of it the fashion and maner of the people their lawes their order and kinde of gouernmente As these thynges were in all poinctes vnknowen to Cesar so also the Marchaūtes knewe no more thā the places bordring on the sea side For the Britaines fearing the traiterous and dissembled hartes of aliaūtes politikelie repelled them for no straunger was suffered to enter from his Shippe on the lande but their marchaundice were sold at the sea side All nacions sought to this land the felicitee of it was so greate whereupon the Grekes knowyng and tastyng the commoditée of this Islande called it by a Greke name Olbion whiche signifieth a happie and fortunate countrie though of some called Albion tyme chaunged the firste letter as at this daie London is called for the toune of kyng Lud. Cesar thereupon before he would marche with his armie to the people of Britain he sent Caius Volusenus a noble man of Rome a valiaunte and hardie Capitaine as Embassadour to the Britaines who as he thoughte by his Embassage should knowe the fashion of the Island the maner of the people their gouernemente But as it seemeth the Embassadour was not welcome For he durste not enter frō his Ship to dooe his maisters Embassage Cesar knewe nothing by him Yet Cesar was not so contented but sent an other Embassadour a man of more power stomack and more hardie Comas Atrebas by name who would enter as an Embassadour to accomplish the will expectacion of Cesar Comas Atrebas was so welcome that the Britains cast him in prison Embassages was not common emong theim nor the curteous vsage of Embassadours knowen Al these thinges made Cesar more wrothe to assaie the vncourtous Bristaines In those daies Cassibelan was kyng of London this Cassibelan was a prince of high wisedom of manly stomacke and valiaunt in fight and for power and valiauntnesse was chosen of the Britaines chief gouernour and kyng Dissencion and cruell warre was emong thē through the diuersitie of diuers kinges in the lande The Troinouaūtes enuied the state of Cassibelan bicause Immanuencius who was kyng of London before Cassibelan was put to death by the counsail of Cassibelan The sonne of Immanuencius hearing of the commyng of Cesar did flie traiterouslie to Cesar The Troinouauntes fauoured Immanuēcius part thereupon promised as moste vile traitours to their countrie an enteryng to Cesar seruice and homage who through a self will and priuate fauour of one sought the ruine of their countrie and in
the ende their own destruccion But Cassibelan gaue many ouerthrowes to Cesar and so mightelie encountred with hym so inuincible was the parte of Cassibelane but by treason of the Troinouauntes not by manhod of Cesars power enteryng was giuen What house can stande wherein discord broile What small power is not able to enter the mightiest dominions or regions to ouercome the strongeste fortresse treason open the gate treason giuyng passage Although Cesar by treason entered so Cesar writeth Yet the fame of Cesar was more commended for his enterprise into Britain and victorie then of all his Conquest either against Pompey or with any other nacion For in a Piller at Rome this sentence was engrauen Of all the dominions Citees and Regions subdued by Cesar his warre attēpted against the fearce Britaines passeth all other After this sort Cesar entred our Islande of Britaine by treason ¶ A narracion iudiciall out of Theusidides vpon the facte of Themistocles THe Athenians brought vnder

Athenians sent Embassadours to knowe their doynges and so to hinder them Themistocles gaue counfaill to the Athenians to kepe in safe custodie the Embassadours of Lacedemonia vntill soche tyme as he from the Embassage was retourned frō Lacedemonia The Lacedemonians hearyng of the commyng of Themistocles thought little of the walle buildyng at Athens Themistocles was long looked for of thē because Themistocles lingered in his Embassage that or the matter were throughly knowen the walle of Athens should be builded The slowe commyng of Themistocles was blamed of the Lacedemonians but Themistocles excused hymself partly infirmitie of bodie lettyng his commyng and the expectacion of other accompaignied with hym in this Embassage The walle ended necessitie not artificiall workemanship finishing it with al hast it was ended then Themistocles entered the Senate of Lacedemonia and saied the walle whom ye sought to let is builded at Athens ye Lacedemonians that wee maie be more strong Then the Lacedemonians could saie nothyng to it though thei enuied the Athenians state the walle was builded and leste thei should shewe violence or crueltie on Themistocles their Embassadours were at Athens in custodie whereby Themistocles came safe from his Embassage and the Athenians made strong by their walle this was politikely dooen of Themistocles ¶ A narracion Poeticall vpon a Rose WHo so doeth
