The offerings great I brought, and giftes of gold.

This donne, I wil’d the youth should all prepare

To showe themselues in field: for I would choose

A band by Alexander’s name to fare,

As erst in Thrace and Sparta I did vse.

They came reioysing all, to heare the newes:

Where I with souldiers come to take the vewe,

Them compast in, and all the people slewe.
