very déede it was to enrich his horsemen And when the Palmirians had vnderstanding of it they conueyed away their goods and garded them with Archers wherin they excelled The horsemen finding the Citie voyde went away emptie and vnhurtfull Of thys occasion the warres of Parthia séemed to ryse many of the tyrannes of the countreye of Syria resorting to them For this countrey till Antiochus the good and his sonne was vnder Kings successoures of Seleucus but being brought into the forme of a prouince they had Scaurus their President â–ª to whome the Senate sent other successours and among them Gabiâ—â—â—s which made warre vpon the Alexandrians Crassus succéeded Gabinius which was after slayne of the Parthians But after the death of Caesar and sedition rysing euery City was holden by an vsurper the Partheans helping them And nowe hadde they entred Syria Crassus being deade one alluring another from whence Antonie droue them away and made them flée to the Parthians Which being done he put tributes vpon the people and did not pacifie the prouince after the commotion of the Palmirians but diuided his armye into wintering places He went to Cleopatra into Egipt of whome being princely receyued he taried the Winter with hir lyke a priuate man in an other mans kingdome eyther to shewe that the rule perteyned not to him or to be the more fitte to frequent the feastful dayes of the Winter And leauing all cares of a Captaine he put on a Greekes robe and such a garment as the Athenteâ—ses and Egiptians Priestes do vse And he resorted onely to temples scooâ—es and assemblies of Philosophers keping company with the Grecians that obeyed Cleopatra for whose cause hée had as hée sayde made that voyage Caesar Octauian in the meane time fell sicke in his iourney to Rome and verie dangerously at Brundusiâ— where it was sayd he was deade Being recouered he entred the Citie and deliuered Antonies letters to his Captaines who strayght commaunded Calenus to deliuer two legions to Octauian and wrote into Africa to Sextius to deliuer that prouince both the which were done Then dyscharging Lepidus of his suspition he committed Africa to his gouernement and solde such goods of the condemned men as were not yet bought Going about to place his Souldiors in their dwellings and to diuide their landes he founde greate troubles For the Soldiors required euery best Citie in Italie as they were chosen before the warre Contrary those Cities required that all Italy might be contributarie to this diuision or the places of dwelling might be apointed by lot The soldiors also required the valewe of the lands bycause there was no coÌ„mon pay Both olde and yong women and children assembled togither in the Temples and publique places lamenting and complayning that they being natiue of Italy should be putte from theyr houses and landes as prisoners in the warre The people wepte for these miseries and moste of all when they remembred that it was not done for the common wealth but for the priuate lust of a fewe the whiche had ouerthrowne the common weale and now gaue their Soldiours rewardes that they by that gifte should be ready to serue their turnes and stil kâ—epe downe the common state Caesar appeased the Cities and shewed the cause of necessitie and that all was not sufficient And hée sayth truth for the neyghbours were oppressed of the soldiours goyng beyond their boundes catching more than was giuen them taking euer the best Neyther were they frayed by Caesars rebukes nor coÌ„tented with new gifts for they did now litle force of the princes who had néede of their helpe to hold vp their ambition For now the ende of the fiue yeares approched euery one had néede of seuerall helpe to maintayne his Lordship The Soldiours had néede of them to kéepe stil that which was giuen them they had néede of the Souldiours fauour to confirme their rule Caesar also comforted the néedy Soldiours with other gifts borowyng money of Temples wherby he wonne their hartes they beyng thankefull to him as of whome they had receyued their landes and goodes and they that were spoyled crying out vpon him whiche he suffred for the Soldiours sakes Lucius brother to Antonie beyng Consull and his wife Fuluia and Manius that had the ouersight of his things in his absence that this benefite might not séene to be onely of Octauian nor he haue only the thanke and the other generall be defrauded of the fauour of the Soldiours vsed subtill meanes that the placyng of the inhabitauntes might be deferred till Antonies commyng Whiche when it séemed vnpossible for the haste of the Souldiours they desired of Octauian that they mighte place Antonies Souldiours although by agréement it was graunted to Caesar Octauian by Antonie â–ª whiche they denied to be true Therefore bryngyng Fâ—â—luia with Antonies litle children to the campe they besought them instantly not to suffer Antonie to be defrauded of his thankes and renowne that he had gotten Antonies name was then very glorious among the Soldiours and others for the victory at Philippi was attributed to Antonie onely bycause of Caesars sicknesse Though Octauian sawe that couenaunt was broken yette for Antonies sake hée was content to gyue place So Antonies legions were placed wyth very much licence that they shoulde not seeme to bée inferiour to the benefite of Caesar There were other Cities neare to these whose lands were deuided to the Souldiours whiche suffered many iniuries of the Souldiours the Citizens crying to Octauian that diuision of landes was nowe more cruell than proscriptions of lyfe For then enimies were punished now innocentes are plagued Caesar did well perceyue the iniurie but coulde not remedie it For neyther had hée money wherewith to pay the possessours of the lande neyther could the rewardes of victory be deferred for the warres that myght ensue Pompey beyng Lorde of the Sea who caused famine in the Cittie all victuall beyng kepte away Aenobarbus and Murcus hauyng an other army and gatheryng an other nauie and the Souldiours the more vnwillyng excepte they haue promyse kepte and the space of fiue yeares was almoste come so as they muste haue néede of Souldiours and therefore bare with their insolencie In so muche as in the Theatre a common Souldiour wantyng a proper seate wente and satte in the place of a Gentleman The people noted it and Caesar raysed hym The Souldiours were angry at it and when Caesar came from the passe tyme they compassed him and requyred their felow Souldiour whome they thought to be destroyed But when hée came they sayde he came out of pryson whiche bycause hée denied they sayde hée was hyred so to say and was a Traytour to hys company This rudenesse was vsed in the Theatre Beyng called to the diuision into the campe of Mars and comming to it by night they were angry that Caesar tarried so long Nonius a Capitayne rebuked them and tolde them

He declared this to be done by all coniecture to dispatche hys person whiche matter béeyng quietly heard caused muche adoe and indignation among the people A fewe that were grounded vppon reason were glad that Antony myghte doe Caesar good and also hurte at hys pleasure bycause hée was terrible to the strikers and if hée were once dispatched they myghte wyth the more securitie doe theyr feates bycause the Senate chiefly fauoured them Thus the wyser sorte did thinke but the multitude séeyng that despight and hynderance was dayly offered to Octauius they thoughte it not vnlike to be a calumniation and yet supposed it not good nor honest that Antony beyng Consull shoulde bée in daunger of hys person Octauius Caesar with greate anger and furie wente among them that were of thys opinion and cryed that hée was circumuented of Antony for the frendshyppe that he onely had with the people and ranne to Antonyes house and there he exclaymed and called the Gods to witnesse with all execrations and othes prouoking hym to come to tryall and bycause no bodye came to hym he sayde to hys friendes I am contente to bée iudged by hys owne people And with that he brake in at the dores but béeyng kepte backe he sware and rebuked them that kepte the gates bycause they stopped hym from making further tryall wyth Antony He wente hys way and protested to the people that if any hurte came vnto hym it shoulde come by Antonyes meanes Hauyng spoken this with greate vehemencie it gréeued the people and some of them repented of theyr former opinion Some stoode in doubte and â—usted neyther of them Some thoughte it a dissimulation betwéene them the better to bryng to passe that they had agréed vpon in the Temple againste their enimies and some thought Antonie deuised it to haue a greater garrison about him and to turne mens good will from Octauius Nowe was there secrete intelligence gyuen to hym that the armye at Brunduse and the ordinarie Souldioures were angrye with Antonie bycause he neglected Caesars death and that they woulde reuenge it to their power and that Antonie was gone in hast to Brunduse for this cause Octauius was afrayde least he returning with his armye shoulde finde hym vnprouided He tooke mony and wente to Campania to winne the Cities that were inhabited by such â–ª as had serued his father and first he persuaded Celatia and Silio two Townes about Capua He gaue euerie man fiue hundred drammes and had tenne thousande menne neyther armed nor distributed into due bands and order but only as a gard of his person vnder one ensigne They in the Citie were afrayde of Antonies commyng with his army and when they heard that Octauius was comming with another they were in a double feare and some tooke it well that they mighte vse Octauius against Antony Some that sawe theyr reconciliation in the Capitoll thought it but a dissimulation and a recompence of the one to be in authoritie and the other to persecute the quellers In thys disquietnesse Carnutiw the Tribune enimie to Antony and friende to Octauius wente to knowe the truth whyche béeyng done hée declared to the people that there was playne variance betwéene Antony and Octauius and that it stoode them in hande to make Octauius theyr friende séeyng they had none other armye to resist Antonyes Tyrannie When he had sayde thus he willed Octauius to enter who lay a little withoute the Citie at the Temple of Mars Hée dyd so and came to the Temple of Iupiters chyldren about the whyche the Souloioures stoode with theyr weapons openly Carnutius spake firste against Antony Then Octauius hymselfe reuiued the memorie
easilye decrée Dolabella to bée a rebell When the messengers were come to Antony they were ashamed of their strange commission and sayd nothing but deliuered the decrée vnto him â–ª He with great anger did â—â—ueigh against the Senate Cicero maruelling that they would thinke Caesar a Tyranne or a king that had so muche augmented the state of Rome and not accompte Cicero so whome Caesar toke in warre and yet did not kill whereas Cicero doeth preferre hys killers before his friendes and hated Decimus when he was trusty to Caesar and loued him euer since he was a killer of him would ayde him that only by Caesar kept Celtica iudge hym a rebell that had it by the people To the legions that were assigned by decrée and reuolted the Senate giueth rewarde but none to them that remayne in their duety and so corrupt quoth he the discipline of war not belonging to me but to the Citie To the quellers he could graunt obliuion of the facte to whiche I consente for two noble mennes sake but Antonye and Dolobella hee iudgeth enimyes bycause wee kéepe that was giuen vs for that is the verye cause But if I leaue Celtica I am neither enimy nor tyranne I protest I will dissolue that forgetfulnesse that shall not be verye acceptable to hym Many things after this sorte spake Antony and wrote thys aunswere to the decrée that to the Senate he woulde obey as to hys Countrey but to Cicero that wrote the commaundement thus he spake The people haue giuen me Celtica by lawe Decimus that wil not obey I will remoue and reuenge the matter of murther in hym for all that the Senate may be purged of the â—aulte they be in whereof they be ful for Ciceroes sake to helpe Decimus When Antony had thus saide he wrote it by and by Wherefore the Senate iudged hym an enimy and the armye with him vnlesse they wente from hym Macedonia and Illiria with the armies of both they appointed to Marcus Brutus till the common wealth were brought to better state He had an armye of hys owne and had receyued one of Appuleius He had shippes bothe gallies and hulkes and sixtéen thousand talents of money and greate plenty of armour which he founde in the Citie of Demeatride layde vp there by Caesar all the whiche the Senate confirmed by the decrée that hée mighte vse to the benefit of hys country Syria was by the Senate appoynted to Cassius and commaunded to make warre vppon Dolobella and all that had prouinces or armies of the Romaines from the Ionian Sea to the Easte were charged to obey Brutus and Cassius Wherefore Cassius and Brutus estate was sodainely in great fame When Octauius Caesar vnderstoode these thynges hée was in doubt for where he thought the lawe of Obliuion to procéede of a conuenieÌ„cie of humanitie and a respect of pitie of their kinsfolke that were men in like aucthoritie and therfore had appointed them to prouinces for a shorte tyme for their securitie as Celtica to Decimus to note Antony of Tyranny and by that deuice to induce hym againste Antony Nowe that Dolobella was condemned as a rebell for killing one of the quellers and that mightye nations were giuen in prouince to Erutus and Cassius and manye armies wyth greate speedinâ—â—ie appointed to them with abundaunce of money and that they were made Generalles of all the people from Ionia to India He perceâ—ued that all this tended to the aduauncement of Pompeys parte and to the vtter destruction of Caesars And that the Senate wente aboute to deceyue hym as a youngman the plotte wherof he conceiued in his mynd and that when he was made a Capitaine against Antony it was meant to take his armye from him and that the Consulls being in the fielde there was no néede of any other Capitayne and that onely honours were gyuen to the Souldiours that reuolted from Antony and hys vnhonoured and that this warre would worke his infamy beâ—ng vsed to none other intent of the Senate but to the destruction of Antony He kept the considerations secrete to hymselfe and makâ—ng sacrifice for the charge gyuen hym he thus sayd to hys armye This honour O fellow Souldiours I may thanke you for not onelye nowe but from the tyme you gaue mée power For your sakes the Senate haue gyuen iâ— me and therfore for this also you know I am youre debtor of thankes whiche if the Gods shall gyue vs god lucke I will requite abundantly Thus did he speake to winâ—e hys armye and marched foorth Pansa one of the Consuls lead his army ouer Italy Hirtius the other Consull diuided with Caesar and as he was secretely instructed of the Senate he required in the diâ—ision the two legions that went from Antony bycause they were counted the best Souldiors Caesar did grant euery thing and when they had diuided they encamped togither that wynter At the ende of winter Decimus beganne to lacke victual wherefore Hirtius and Caesar wente to Mutina that Antony shoulde not get from them Decimus armye opprest with famine Antony holding Mutina straighte they with all their forces woulde not fight with hym but tarried for Pansa Diuers skirmishes were made in the whyche thoughe Antony hadde the greater number of horse yet the narrownesse of the fielde and the ditches about the riuers did kéepe backe the multitude of horsemen And thus went the matter at Mutina In Rome in the absence of the Consuls Cicero dydde al as the peoples ruler He assembled the Senate euerye daye hée made prouision of armour compelling workemen without payment He gathered money and putte great impositions vppon Antonies friendes They suffered it patiently to auoide displeasure til Publius Ventidius that had serued vnder Caesar and was friende to Antony could not abide the sharpenesse of Cicero but wente to Caesars habitations where he was well knowne and gotte twoo legions whyche he ledde to Antonie by Rome to take Cicero Great trouble grew of this insomuche as manye wente awaye wyth their wiues and children for feare and Cicero fledde oute of the Cittie whyche when Ventidius knewe hée tourned straighte to Antony and being stepte by Caesar and Hirtius hée wente to Picene where he gathered another legion and stayed to sée what would come The Consull and Caesar séeing that Pansa drew nighe with hys hoste sente Carsâ—leius the leader of Caesars chiefe bande and the Martiall legion to helpe him to passe the straights Antonie dydde not muche care for the passage so he mighte otherwise hinder them and being desirous of the â—ight could not vse his horsemen in the playne bycause of the Fenny place full of ditches He hidde twoo of hys beste legions in the Fenne the waye béeing made by hande and straighte and on both sides couered with réedes Carsuleius all the nighte passing â—hys place by the breake of day was come to the way made with hand With the
their dutie and put the cause vpon Caesars sickenesse They called him flatterer and threwe stones vppon him and droue him to take a water out of the whiche they tooke hym vp dead and layde hym in the waye â–ª where Caesar shoulde passe who was monished by hys fréendes not to truste theyr rage but hée to aâ—oyde furder inconuenience by hys absence wente on and when hée sawe the dead body of Nonius he went aside And when the fault was layde vpon a fewe hée willed them hereafter one to spare another and so gaue them giftes and distribution of lands and rewarded some beyonde their owne expectation Which constancie of hym they so lyked as they requyred that the kyllers of Nonius myghte bée punyshed Hée sayde hee knewe them well inough and was satisfied wyth their confession and conscience and the reste hee forgaue By the whyche mercy and liberalitie beyng prouoked they made greate shoutes of hys felicitie These twoo contempts of the Souldiours among many other may suffice to be shewed The cause of thys were they that without lawfull authoritie as happeth in ciuill warres takyng vppon them to bée Capitaynes led these Souldiours not to serue their countrey but themselues not agaynst enimies but agaynst Citizens This destroyed the discipline of the Romanes warre The Souldiour rather desirous to serue for pryuate affection and the Capytaynes to abuse them for priuate commoditie Not onely a Souldiour but whole armies were to bée bought for money And it was offence to fauour the good and prayse to aduaunce the euill So as for lighte causes whole armies would go from a good and lawfull leader to a lewde and vsurpyng Captayne lyke agréeyng with lyke the Souldiours tooke them for enimies were they neuer so honest that their Capitaynes hated And the Capitaynes to haue Souldiours at hande suffred them to committe things abhominable without al reuerence of lawe and iustice So nowe all discipline beyng corrupted they were compted best that could rayse moste sedition The Citie in the meane time was in great penurie their prouision of corne beyng stopped by Pompey In Italie tillage beyng almost leâ—te for the continuaunce of warre and that that there was being consumed of the Soldiours and in the Citie théeues and murderers by night were vnpunished for what soeuer was done was imputed to the Souldiour The commons shutte vp theyr shoppes and were withoute officers whiche woulde not serue where thefte was suffred But Lucius beyng well affected to the common wealth and gréeued with the power of the thrée Princes continuyng longer than the time appoynted contended with Caesar â–ª for he onely promised helpe to the olde possessioners making supplication to all the officers they promised their seruice to him Wherby bothe Antonies Soldiours and Caesar himself accused him as an enimy to him and Fuluia also as stirrers of warre out of time But a deuise of Manius preuayled which persuaded Fuluia that if Italie were in quiet Antony woulde remayne with Cleopatra in Aegipt but if warres were styrred hée woulde come quickly Then Fuluia of a womannishe passion incensed Lucius when Caesar wente to place the newe inhabitancies Antonies chyldren and Lucius wente with them that Caesar shoulde not haue the whole thankes by goyng alone Caesars horsemenne scoured the coaste towarde Sicelie that Pompey shoulde not spoyle it Lucius eyther afrayde in déede or fayning to bée afrayde that these horsemen were sente agaynst him and Antonies children wente in haste to the inhabitauncies of Antonie to gette a garde about him accusing Caesar as vnfaithfull to Antony But he answered that he kept faith friendship with Antonie that Lucius sought to moue warre for y he was offended with the rule of theÌ„ thrée by the which the newe inhabitants might take full possession that the horsemen were yet in the coast did their duties WheÌ„ Antonies Soldiours vnderstoode this they made a méeting with him at Theano and were reconciled to him with these conditions That he shuld deuide no laÌ„ds but to such as serued at Philippi That the money of the condemned men their landes should be equally diuided among Antonies Souldiours That hereafter one alone should not leuy men That two legioÌ„s of Antonies should serue Caesar against PoÌ„pey That the Alpes towarde Spaine shoulde be open to them that Caesar sent and not be shutte by Asinius That Lucius should put away his garde and exercise his office with quietnesse These were the couenants whereof onely the two last were kepte And Saluidienus passed the Alpes spyte of them that kepte them the rest were defeated Wherfore Lucius went to Preneste affirmyng he was afrayde of Caesar hauyng a garde aboute him and he none Fuluia also went to Lepidus saying she was afrayde of hir children for she trusted him better than Caesar And they bothe wrote to Antonie certaine fréendes carying their letters that might certifie him of all thyngs the copies whereof I haue long sought and can not finde Then the chiefe of the armies agréed to take vp thys matter and affirmed they woulde compell hym that were vnwillyng They sente for Lucius friendes to come to them whiche they denying to doe Caesar accused them as well to the chiefe of the armies as to the officers of the Cities Then great resorte was made to Lucius out of the Citie beséechyng him to haue compassion of afflicted Italie and take some man that eyther with him or with the Capitaynes might make an ende of the matter And where as Lucius had regarde both of them that spake and also of the thyngs spoken Manius answeared sharpely That Antonie onely gathered money of strange nations but Caesar did gette mens loue by preuention of the armies and fitte places of Italy For by fraude he had gotten Fraunce which was Antonies prouince and for xviij cities that should be giuen to the Soldiours he ransacked almoste all Italy And also gaue money to foure and thirty legions not onely to eight and twentie that fought in hys quarrell and that he had spoyled Temples in pretence of warre agaynst Pompey whiche was not yet begon for all the greate dearth in the Citie but in déede to winne the fauour of the Souldiours agaynst Antonie in so muche as the goodes of the attaynted are not solde before they be giuen to theÌ„ but if he séeketh peace in good fayth he must make accomptof things he hath done and hereafter do nothing but by consent of bothe This was the bolde answeare of Manius that neyther Caesar shoulde doe any thing alone nor the couenaunts betwéene him and Antonie remayne firme that is that either of them should haue full authoritie in their prouinces and each confirme others actes Caesar séeyng that they soughte warre prepared hymselfe for it but the two legioÌ„s that wer placed about of Ancona and first serued his father and after Antony for the loue they bare to them both sente Ambassadors
in Rome when y killers of Caesar were cryed he thoughte good they shoulde be punished and the Citie purged He mynded to haue gyuen the Citie in spoyle to the Souldyoures but one Sextius a madde fellowe surnamed Macedonian bycause he hadde serued in Macedonia sette hys owne house on fyre and threwe himselfe into it and the wynde béeyng great blew the fyre ouer all the Citie and burned it the temple of Vulcene only excepted Thys was the ende of Perugia an auntient and goodly Citie for they say it was one of the twelue Cities which the Hetrurians buylded after their firste comming into Italy Wherefore after the Tuscane fashion they honor Iuno And after that they that followed chose Vulcane in stead of Iuno for their patrone The next day Caesar made truce with all the armyes yet some tumultes continued betwéene them til Canutius and Flauius Clodius Bithinicus and diuers other were slayne who were deadly enimies of Caesar This ende had the séege of Perugia and the warre that Lucius made which certaynely was very daungerous and like to haue continued long For Asinius Plancus Ventidius Crassus Attieus and others of this faction hadde an army diuided into thirtéene partes with sixe thousande Horsemen and aboue All the which scattered some to Brundusio some to Rauenna and some to Tarento Some wente to Murco some to Aenobarbo and some to Antony himselfe Caesars bandes chaced them by land and Agrippa gote two legions from Plancus which were left at Camerina Fuluia with hir children fledde to Putzolo and from thence to Brundusio with thrée thousand horse which the Captayne 's appoynted for hir conduit At Brunduse she tooke Shippe with fiue Gallyes that were sente from Macedonia and Plancus went with hir who for cowardise had forsaken the rest of his army whiche serued Ventidius Asinius entised Aenobarbus to Antonyes side whereof they both wrote letters vnto him and prepared for him agaynste his comming into Italy There were other bandes of Antonyes vnder the Alpes wherof Calenus was Captayne Caesar intended to winne them to him bycause he had Antony now in suspition that if he were his friend he would kéepe them for him if he proued his enimie he would serue himselfe and whylest he soughte a good occasion Calenus dyed Caesar tooke the aduantage and had the army for Fusius Calenus sonne deliuered all for feare Thus Caesar without any businesse gote eleuen legions and most ample prouinces from the whiche he remoued the old officers and placed his owne and went to Rome Antony kepte the messengers that were sent from the inhabitancies eyther bycause of y winter or bycause he would not haue them report his doings At the beginning of the Spring he wente from Alexandria came to Tirus and from thence by Cipres and Rhodes into Asia where he heard of the séege of Perugia for the whiche he blamed his brother and his wife and most of all Manius He founde hys wife at Athens that was fledde from Brunduse His mother Iulia Pompey had sente out of Sicelie whither she fledde in company of Libone his father in law Saturninus and others of the best sorte that he had the which assayed to allure Antony to Pompeys parte against Caesar Antony thanked Pompey for sending him hys mother the which he would requite in time conueniente and if hée did make warre againste Caesar he woulde vse his societie but if Caesar and he continued in agréement he woulde reconcile him to Câ—sar And this was Antonyes aunswere Caesar béeyng come to Rome vnderstoode that some were gone to Athens but what answere they had of Antony he could not tell Then he soughte to discredite Antony with the souldyoures as he that would ioyne with Pompey to put them from their possessions and that manye were fledde to Pompey but for all that he coulde not winne the Souldyoures from Antony so greate was the glory that he had gote at Philippi Caesar thought himselfe good ynough for Antony Pompey by laÌ„o for he had aboue 40. legions but he had no ships they had more than 500. with the which if they woulde beset the coast of Italy they might soone oppresse it with famine Therfore of many maydens y were offered him in marriage he thought to make his best match he wrote to Maecenas that he shuld coÌ„tract him to Scribonia sister to Libo father in law to Pompey y he might haue a pretence to agrée with Pompey if néede were This done he remoued diuers of Antenyes friends from their authoritie sent Lepidus into Affrica with sixe legions of Antonyes Then hée called to him Lucius and praised him as kind to his brother that he woulde take his faulte vppon himselfe but he coulde not but thinke vnkindnesse in him that after so great benefite shewed to him he would not playnely tell his brothers conspiracie To thys Lucius aunswered I knewe my sister in lawes ambitious desire to rule but I tooke the commoditie of my brothers armye to take the rule from you all and if my brother woulde come nowe to abolishe youre Monarchie I woulde take hys parte alwayes agaynste

Antony yet he went toward him with fiue good Shippes that he myghte séeme to trust him willing the rest to followe after Aenobarbus wheÌ„ he had sight of him came forward with al his Nauie Then was

Being come néere both the Admirals were knowen by their flagges and sayled one to the other The Herald of Antony standing in the forepart eyther ignorante that he was not a sure friend or of a

And this great power y â–ª did cast a terror euen to the Indians only the vaine loue of Cleopatra brought to none effect For the desire he had to come againe into hir companie made him do al things out of time and order He had lefte his laste wife Octauia with hyr children and the chyldren hée had by his first wyfe Fuluia with Octauius Caesar And beyng now in the Easte partes was wholy gyuen to the wanton desire of Cleopatra to whome hée gaue the prouinces of Cypres Caelosyria Phaenitia and a parte of Cilicia and Iurie wherewith he Romanes were muche gréeued and also with his crueltie to Antigonus kyng of Iurie and with his vanitie in the chyldren hée had by Cleopatra callyng the one Alexander the Sunne and the other Cleopatra the Moone Yet was Cleopatra not the fayrest woman in the worlde but very wittie and sull of artificiall deuises and had the caste to beguyle Antonie who was easie to be ledde For haste hée woulde not suffer hys armie to reste after so long a iourney for haste hée lefte his engines behinde him whereof one was called a Ramme of foure score foote long for haste hée lefte Media passyng by the lefte hande of Armenia into Atropatia whiche hée spoyled Then hée besieged the great Citie of Phraata where hée founde hys errour in leauyng hys artillerie behinde Therefore to cause hys men to do somewhat he made them caste vp mountes In the meane tune the king 〈◊〉 forth with a mighty army and hearing that the artillerie was left behind he sent a great parte of his horse men which slew Tatianus and ten thousand that were left for the custody of the Engines tooke and spilled the munitioÌ„ The which did much discourage his Soldiours caused that the kyng of Armenia for soke him for whose cause he made the warre The Parthians were very bragge vpon the Romanes wherefore Antonie tooke ten legions and all his horsemen to range the countrie thereby to prouoke the enimie to fight WheÌ„ he had gone one dayes iourney he saw the enimies round aboute him therefore in his campe he determined to fight yet would not so séeme but raysed his campe as to goe away commaundyng that when the foote men were at hande the horsemenne shoulde sette vppon the enimie whiche stoode in a triangle battayle to beholde the Romanes good order shakyng their dartes When the tyme serued the horsemen gaue so fierce an onsette vppon them as they tooke away the vse of theyr shotte notwithstandyng they stucke to it But when the footâ— men came with shoute and fearefull shew the Parthian Horsemen were disordered
to hym by Niger his messenger When Cleopatra heard this fearing that if Octauia came she would put hir out of conceyt she bestirred hir she pined hirselfe she wepte and wayled and woulde néedes dye for Antonyes sake who sayd he would take his iourney in hand Some there were that blamed Antony as rude and hard harted that hâ—e would put so louing a Lady and so great a Quéene in danger of hir life eyther for his wiues sake or for anye other cause in so muche as Antony was made a tame foole and deferred vnto the next sommer his expedition and returned to Alexandria to winter with Cleopatra Now was Octauia returned to Rome hir brother willed hir to goe to hir owne house but she went to Antonyes house which she kept with so good order and cherishing as well the children he had by Fuluia as by hir selfe as it did aggrauate the fault of Antony that he woulde forsake so vertuous a Romane Lady for an Egiptian straÌ„ger Octauia desired hir brother that if there were none other cause of warre but by hir that he would not moue it for she should beare the blame Therefore â—â— all requests she did help Antonyes friends whereby vnwillingly she hindered Antony who was nowe so fonde waxen as hée woulde haue Cleopatra called by the name of the Goddesse Isis Quéene of Aegypt Cyprus Affrâ—ke and Caelosiria and Caesarion whome it was thought she hadde by Iulius Caesar to be hir companion in these Kingdomes The sonnes that he hadde by hir he called Kings of Kings To Alexander Armenia Mediâ— Parthia to Pâ—olomeo Phâ—enitia Syria Cilicia he appoynted In Rome Caesar accused him of this geare before the Senate Antony by letters accused Caesar likewise First â–ª that he had not made him partaker of Sicilia â–ª out of the which he â—ad wrong Pompey Then y he had not restored the Shyppes which he had lent him Thirdlye that hauing deposed Lepâ—dus his fellow in authoritie he kepte those profites and prouinces to his owne vse and that he had diuided Italy to his owne souldioures and not

for hys Souldyoures they hadde no portion in Italy no more than he in Media Parâ—hâ—a WheÌ„ Antony heard of this he sent by by Canidius with xvj legions to the sea He carrying Cleopatra wyth hym wente to Ephesus whither all his Nauie assembled to the number of eyght hundred shippes of burden of the which Cleopatra gaue him two hundreth and two hundreth talentes for the expences of the warre Domitius and other of Antonyes counsell woulde haue had Cleopatra to haue gâ—ne to Egypt till the warre were ended But she corrupted Cantdius to tell him that it was not honorable to remoue hir that

Caesar Octauius was afrayde when he heard of Antonies expedition and great preparation for he had nothyng ready nor money to prepare in gathering of the whiche if Antonie had come on Caesar had bene in great daunger For whyles money is so eâ—acted men are tumultours but when it is gathered they be quiet Therefore it was thought a greate folie in Antonie to detract the time But what shal a man say That that wil be shal be Titius and Plancus twoo chiefe aboute Antonie and they that gaue him aduise he should send Cleopatra away fledde from him to Caesar bycause Cleopatra began to maligne at them and they did bewray Antonies Testament being priuie to it It was kept of the Uirgines Uestalles to whome Caesar sente to haue it they would not deliuer it if he woulde take it from them hée might So he went and tooke it away and first by himselfe redde it and noted what might be sayde agaynst it Then he called the Senate and redde it openly whereat many were grieued thinkyng it not reasonable that a mans minde for his death shoulde bée scanned whylest he was aliue The greatest faulte that was founde was this that he had willed wheresoeuer he died that his body should be caried to

That he would rise from the table and tâ—ample vpon hir féete by compacte That he suffered the Ephesians in his presence to call hir Soueraigne That when hâ—gaue audienâ—e to Kings and Pâ—iâ—ces he woulde receyue letters of loue from hir written in tables of pearle and Cristall and reade them That when Furnius a man of authoritie in Rome and very eloquent did pleade a cause before him â—leâ—pâ—tra came by in a litter he left the court and â—aâ—â—e downe â—â—â—â—â— and lâ—â—nyng â—pon â—â—e lâ—tter went away with hir Many men thought Caluisius forged these crimes Therefore Antonies

Cleopatra suspected he came to entreate for Octauia And beyng at supper

Then he returned into the Court and tooke Cleopatra in his armes and kissed hir and recommended him vnto hir that had fought best and she gaue him an head péece and a coate armour of golde Yet he that night fledde to Caesar Then Antony challenged Caesar once againe to fight hande to hand Caesar aunswered there were many wayes for Antony to dye Then seing there was no way so honourable to dye as in fight Antony determined to set vpon Caesar both by Sea land and at supper bad his meÌ„ drinke make merry for he coulde not tell if they should do so any more or serue other Lords for as for himself he shuld not liue And wheÌ„ they wept at the words he sayd he would not leade theÌ„ to a fight by the which he might rather hope for a glorious death thaÌ„ a sure triumphaÌ„t victorie About midnight was heard ouer al the citie such a pleasant noyse musicke as is went to be vsed in that sacrifice of Bacchus the which weÌ„t forth of y Citie into the enimies Camp. It was expounded that the God whom he had most serued did now also forsake him In the morning he brought forth his footemen placed theÌ„ vpoÌ„ the hilles about the citie where he stood to sée that successe of his nauie the which comming nigh to that enimie saluted theÌ„ as friends they did the like so yéelded to theÌ„ When this was perceyued Antonyes horsemeÌ„ fled to Caesar also his footemen did fight it out were ouercome which being done he retired into the citie crying he was betrayd of Cleopatra to theÌ„ against whome he had made war for hir sake She being afrayd of his furie got hir into hir Scpulchre causing the bridge to be drawne to be kept close and shut This done she sent one out to tell him that she was dead WheÌ„ he heard it he sayd Why teÌ„ptest thou Antony TheÌ„ he weÌ„t into his ChaÌ„ber vnharnessed him saying O Cleopatra I am not tormented that I am without thée for I wil soone be with thée but that I being so great a Captayne should be preueÌ„ted of thée y art but a womaÌ„ in such a case of fortitude Heros his faithful seruaÌ„t was with him whom before he had sworne to kill him wheÌ„ he should commaund it Now saith he is the time for thée to do it and toke him his sword He turned his face and killed himself and fell dead at Antonyes féete Ah good Eros quoth Antony where thou couldest not abide to doe it to me thou hast taught me to do it my selfe and so he thrust the sword into his belly and layd downe vppon his bed The stroke was not so great as it could dispatch hym there fore he commaunded them that were by to make an end of him but they went out of the chamber leauing him crying and lamenting til Diomedes came from Cleopatra to bring Antony to hir who hearing she was aliue commanded to be caried to hir in their armes to y dore of the monument which Cleopatra would not open but lot downe shéetes lines to heaue him vp whyche she and hir two women did that onely were with hir there It was a pitifull sight to sée him all bloudy and yéelding the ghost to be halled vp so hardly holding forth his hands and stretchyng himselfe toward hir as well as he could the pore womeÌ„ not hauing streÌ„gth ynough to do it till Cleopatra with both hir haÌ„ds beÌ„ding downeward as much as might be got him vp they that were below crying vpon hir to haue pitie vpoÌ„ him WheÌ„ she had him in she layde him vpoÌ„ a bed lamenting and tearing hir mourning wéede wiping the bloud froÌ„ his face called
him Lord husband Emperour forgetting hir owne sorow for cōpassion of him He being somewhat cōforted desired a cuppe of wine eyther for that he was a thirst or that he might the sooner be dispatched Whē he had dronke he wished hir to prouide for hir selfe so wel as she could hir honor being saued among Caesars friēds to trust Proculeius most and that she shuld not afflict hirselfe for him in this great alteratiō but rather comfort hirselfe that she had dealt with him that was most mighty ful of power who being a Romane was not thorough cowardise ouercome of a Romane This said he yelded the ghost whē as Proculeius was come frō Caesar for whē Antony had strickē himselfe was drawē up to Cleopatra Derceteus one of his gard toke his bloudy sword caried it to Caesar telling him how it stood which whē he heard he went into his closet wept for Antonyes chance that had bin a valiāt mā his cōpanion in many battels Then he red his letters to his friendes declaring how proudely arrogātly he answered to his gentle letters he cōmanded Proculeius to do all that he could to get Cleopatra aliue for he feared the destructiō of hir treasure thought it would be no smal honor to him if he might bring hir in triūph She wold not talke with Proculeius within but far of so as hardly hir voyce could be heard Hir request was that hir kingdome might be established to hir children Proculeius bad hir be of good chéere and remit al to Caesar and marking the place sent word to Caesar who sent Gallus to talke with hir and he of purpose prolōged the cōmunication till Proculcius hauing got scalling ladders with two more got into y window where Antony was taken in went streight to the place wher she was talking with Gallus Thē one of the womē cryed O vnhappy Cleopatra thou art takē aliue Thē she would haue strickē hirselfe for she ware a dagger but Proculeus ranne quickly and embraced hir with both his hands saying O Cleopatra you doe iniurie both to your selfe and to Caesar in taking from him the acte of clemencie and casting an infamie of vnfaithfulnesse Then he tooke the dagger from hir and cut hir garments that she shoulde haue no poyson about hir Then Caesar sent his freemade man Epaphroditus with commaundement that he shoulde in anye wise see hir kepte aliue in all other thinges doing most gently and curteously Then he entred the Citie with Arrius the Philosopher holding him by the hande that the Citizens mighte sée in what honor he had him Being come into the common hall and the Citizens lying prostrate for feare he willed them to rise saying he forgat them firste for Alexanders fame that builded the Citie then for the beautie of it thirdly for Arrius sake The body of Antony Caesar was contente that she shoulde burie which she did with hir owne hands by the labour whereof getting an agew she was glad she hadde suche a cloke to refrayne from meate and kill hirselfe with hunger whiche when it was perceyued Caesar threatned hir the losse of hir Children Then she was contente to be reléeued againe And after a fewe dayes Caesar came to sée hir and comforte hir She lying very homely in hir night gowne lept out of the bedde and fell downe at Caesars feete with trembling voyce and heauie chéere Hir body was deformed with hir owne stripes whereof the printes were séene hir eyes were sonke and hir couloure swart yet dyd hir behauiour declare that hir grace was not extinct whiche dyd appeare out of that forepined and wasted corpse Caesar willed hir to sit and he sate by hir she making excuses that she had done al for feare of Antony all the whiche when Caesar had reproued she gaue hir wholly to his mercy and toke him a note of suche treasure as she had The which when one of hir Treasurers Seleucus had corrected that she had hidde somewhat from him she lepte vnto him and knocked him aboute the pate whereat Caesar smyling and blaming hir O Caesar sayd she is it not a gréefe that séeing thou doest not disdeyne to visit me in this wofull estate to be accused of my seruants for kéeping a fewe womens thyngs wherewith I would winne thy wife Liuia and thy sister Octauia to make thée the more fauourable to me Caesar was glad of these words thinking she had desire to liue and granted hir al that and more to beyond all hope thinking he hadde deceyued hir but she deceyued him Cornelius Dolabella a noble yōg mā in Caesars camp had a great desire to Cleopatra to whom Caesar gaue leaue to come and tell hir that he would go home by lād through Syria and that she and hir children should be sent to Italy by shippe When she vnderstoode it she desired Caesar she mighte firste celebrate Antonyes funerall wherwith he was content She came to the graue with hir women and sayde Of late noble Antony I did burie thée being frée now I honor thy buriall being captiue and garded that I should not consume this wretched body with too much lamenting for thée whiche is reserued to be shewed in triumph of thée Other honours at my hand thou shalt not looke for being ready to be caried away from thée Nothing did separate vs lyuing but now in death we must be parted thou a Romane must lye héere and I vnhappy Egiptian in Italy so farforth to be partaker of

with thée For of infinite gréefes there is none so great to me as this shorte time that I haue lyued without thée When she had ended these laments and put on garlands and kissed the graue she commaunded a bath to be made readye for hir When she was washed she wente to meate and had greate chéere then a chest was brought out of the Countrie to hir by a man and the gard asking what it was he toke away the leaues and shewed them the figges They maruelling at the forme and greatnesse of them the man smiled and desired them to take thē They suspecting nothing bad him carrie them in After this she sent Caesar hir writings sealed Then all other being remoued but hir two women she shut the dores When hir letters were come to Caesar he redde them and founde hir onely request to hée with greate petition to be buryed by Antony whiche when hée saw he suspected by and by what was a doing and was mynded to haue gone streight thither hymselfe yet first sent to sée what was done but she was

Domitio by Aenobarba did marrie with Claudius the Emperour who adopted Domitius calling him Nero Germanicus and was Emperour Thus of Antonies race diuerse Emperours issued Albeit himselfe had the lamentable end that you haue hearde and was the only cause why the Romane state was not restored to a common wealth agayne as the noble Brutus protested when he died al whose execrations came vpon Antonie before he died Eyther for that God woulde plague Antonies euill life or that he would chaunge the state of that mighty coÌ„mon wealth whiche had all the worlde at suche a becke as they might doe what they woulde whose outragious dealings as wel in foreine as ciuill murders it pleased God to punish with so great alteration or else for some secrete determinatioÌ„ for the natiuitie of his only sonne Iesus Christ our lord For now is Caesar the only Monarche without any competitor at all and yet had no childe to whom to leaue it but adopted Tiberius his wiues sonne whome that she might sée Emperour it is thought shée holpe to dispatche Caesar before his time who had the title of Augustus giuen him a thing neuer done before to any Romane not onely for augmentyng and encreasing the Empire of Rome but also for the deâ—â—nation and destinie by which it was assigned vnto him And after hée had shutte the gates of Ianus temple for that a generall peace folowed through out the world he disposed himself to set good orders in the citie and made many good lawes for the preseruation of the same in the whiche time diuerse tokeÌ„s appeared of the coÌ„ming of a greater Prince than he the Prince of Princes king of kings who was borne into this worlde in his time to the glory of God in the highest and the peace of the earth to men of good will. The great enuie that Iulius Caesar his great vncle had procured neuer fell vpon him either bicause men were weary of tumultes or for that they saw such modestie in him as he would attempt no such matter that was so odious that is to say to be called a kyng Eyther for that both he and the people had in memorie the malâ—diction cursing of the old Decrée against al theÌ„ that should bring in the name of a king againe which his father Iulius did not vtterly refuse or for that he passed not of the name hauing the rule or for that the name of Emperour was then so great as Dictator was wont to be whiche before was no otherwise than a gratification of the Soldiours to their Capitayne when he had stroken a battell manfully and slaine ten thousand enimies at which time it was lawfull for him to be called Imperator as among all other Cicero was in Asia when he ouercame the Amanianes at Isso where Darius was ouercome of Alexander The which name hath continued euer since to that soueraine Magistrate as well when the whole Empyre was in the hands of one Monarche as when it was diuided into twoo the one of the East and the other of the Weast The which beganne with Charles the Great and hath continued vnto Râ—dulphus that now is Emperour among the Germane nation in the weast Empire and ended in the East about us yeares since when the Citie of Constantinople was taken by Mabumetes the sonne of Amuretes that made himselfe a Turkishe Monke and the Emperour Constantine slayne and all the villanie in the worlde shewed to the poore Christians So as to him that will haue a Register of the whole number of Emperours reckening Iulius Caesar for the first shall finde them to be 118.
