With conquerers hands, forbathde in their owne bloud,

And Cæsar weeping ouer Pompey’s head:

Yet saw I Scilla and Marius where they stood,

Their greate crueltie, and the deepe bloudshed

Of frends: Cyrus I saw and his host dead,

And howe the queene with greate despite hath flong

His head in bloud of them shee ouercome.

Xerxes, the Percian king, yet sawe I there,

With his huge host, that dranke the riuers drye,
