More in his causes truth he trusted then in might.

Like to the Thracian Tyrant, who they say xxxi

Vnto his horses gaue his guests for meat,

Till he himselfe was made their greedie pray,

And torne in peeces by Alcides great.

So thought the Souldan in his follies threat,

Either the Prince in peeces to haue torne

With his sharpe wheeles, in his first rages heat,

Or vnder his fierce horses feet haue borne

And trampled downe in dust his thoughts disdained scorne.
