Recur’d thy sprite: and then on euery side

Thou mad’st againe the earth with Souldiours swarme.

All Asia hidde: Euphrates bankes do tremble

To see at once so many Romanes there

Breath horror, rage, and with a threatning eye

In mighty squadrons crosse his swelling streames.

Nought seene but horse, and fier sparkling armes:

Nought heard but hideous noise of muttring troupes.

The Parth, the Mede, abandoning their goods

Hide them for feare in hilles of Hircanie,
