Her husband with his Cleopatra tooke

In Alexandrie, where both nights and daies

Their time they pass’d in nought but loues and plaies.

All Asias forces into one he drewe,

And forth he sett vpon the azur’d waues

A thousand and a thousand Shipps, which fill’d

With Souldiors, pikes, with targets, arrowes, darts,

Made Neptune quake, and all the watrie troupes

Of Glauques, and Tritons lodg’d at Actium.

But mightie Gods, who still the force withstand
