Antony, poore Antony! since that daie

Thy olde good hap did farre from thee retire.

Thy vertue dead: thy glory made aliue

So ofte by martiall deeds is gone in smoke:

Since then the Baies so well thy forehead knewe

To Venus mirtles yeelded haue their place:

Trumpets to pipes: field tents to courtly bowers:

Launces and Pikes to daunces and to feastes.

Since then, ô wretch! in stead of bloudy warres

Thou shouldst haue made vpon the Parthian Kings
