Good Claudius, that next was Emperour,
2 An army brought, and with him battell fought,
In which the king was by a Treachetour
4 Disguised slaine, ere any thereof thought:
Yet ceased not the bloudy fight for ought;
6 For Aruirage his brothers place supplide,
+Both in his armes, and+ crowne, and by that draught
8 Did driue the Romanes to the weaker side,
That they to peace agreed. So all was pacifide.

7 Both in his armes, and > Both in armes, and 1596; In armes, and eke in 1609
