His legions led to drinke Euphrates streames,

So many Kings in traine redoubting him;

In triumph rais’d as high as highest heaun;

Lord-like disposing as him pleased best,

The wealth of Greece, the wealth ofAsia:

In that faire fortune had I him exchaung’d

For Cæsar, then, men would haue counted me

Faithles, vnconstant, light: but now the storme,

And blustring tempest driuing on his face,

Readie to drowne, Alas! what would they saie?
