he lyes Of all those Kingdomes large which he had got To his Posterity remain'd no jot For by that hand which still revengeth bloud None of his kindred nor his race long stood But as he took delight much bloud to spill So the same cup to his did others fill Four of his Captains now do all divide As Daniel before had prophysi'd The Leopard down the four wings gan to rise The great horn broke the less did tyranize What troubles and contentions did ensue We may hereafter shew in season due Aridaeus Great Alexander dead his Armyes left Like to that Giant of his Eye bereft When of his monstrous bulk it was the guide His matchless force no creature could abide But by Vlisses having lost his sight All men began streight to contemn his might For aiming still amiss his dreadful blows Did harm himself but never reacht his Foes Now Court and Camp all in confusion be A King they 'l have but who none can agree Each Captain wisht this prize to bear away But none so hardy found as so durst say Great Alexander did leave Issue none Except by Artabas●s daughter one And Roxane fair whom late he married Was near her time to be delivered By natures right these had enough to claim But meaness of their mothers bar'd the same Alledg'd by those who by their subtile Plea Had hope themselves to bear the Crown away A Sister Alexander had but she Claim'd not perhaps her Sex might hindrance be After much tumult they at last proclaim'd His base born brother Aridaeus nam'd That so under his feeble wit and reign Their ends they might the better still attain This choice Perdiccas vehemently disclaim'd And Babe unborn of Roxane he proclaim'd Some wished him to take the style of King Because his Master gave to him his Ring And had to him still since Ephestion di'd More then to th' rest his favour testifi'd But he refus'd with feigned modesty Hoping to be elect more generally He hold on this occasion should have laid For second offer there was never made ' Mongst these contentions tumults jealousies Seven dayes the corps of their great master lies Untoucht uncovered slighted and neglected So much these princes their own ends respected A Contemplation to astonish Kings That he who late possest all earthly things And yet not so content unless that he Might be esteemed for a Diety Now lay a Spectacle to testifie The wretchedness of mans mortality After some time when stirs began to calm His body did the Egyptians embalme His countenance so lively did appear That for a while they durst not come so near No sign of poyson in his intrails found But all his bowels coloured well and sound ●er●iccas seeing Arideus must be King Under his name began to rule each thing His chief Opponent who Control'd his sway Was M●●ager whom he would take away And by a wile he got him in his power So took his life unworthily that hour Using the name and the command of th' King To authorize his acts in every thing The princes seeing Perdiccas power and pride For their security did now provide Antigonus for his share Asia takes And Ptolomy next sure of Egypt makes Se●●ucus afterward held Babylon Antipater had long rul'd Macedon These now to govern for the king pretends But nothing less each one himself intends Perdiccas took no province like the rest But held command of th' Army which was best And had a higher project in his head His Masters sister secretly to wed So to the Lady covertly he sent That none might know to frustrate his intent But Cleopatra this Suitor did deny For L●on●tus more lovely in her eye To whom she sent a message of her mind That if he came good welcome he should find In these tumultuous dayes the thralled Greeks Their Ancient Liberty afresh now seeks And gladly would the yoke shake off laid on Sometimes by Philip and his conquering son The Athenians force Antipater to fly To Lamia where he shut up doth lye To brave Crate●us then he sends with speed For succours to relieve him in his need The like of Leonatus he requires Which at this time well suited his desires For to Antipater he now might goe His Lady take in th' way and no man know Antiphilus the Athenian General With speed his Army doth together call And Leonatus seeks to stop that so He joyne not with Antipater their foe The Athenian Army was the greater far Which did his Match with Cleopatra mar For fighting still while there did hope remain The valiant Chief amidst his foes was slain ' Mongst all the princes of great Alexander For personage none like to this Commander Now to Antipater Craterus goes Blockt up in Lamia still by his foes Long marches through Cilicia he makes And the remains of Leonatus takes With them and his he into Grecia went Antipater releas'd from prisonment After which time the Greeks did never more Act any thing of worth as heretofore But under servitude their necks remain'd Nor former liberty or glory gain'd Now di'd about the end of th' Lamian war Demosthenes that sweet-tongue'd Orator Who fear'd Antipater would take his life For animating the Athenian strife To end his dayes by poison rather chose Then fall into the hands of mortal foes Craterus and Antipater now joyne In love and in affinity combine Craterus doth his daughter ●kila wed Their ●riendship might the more be strengthened Whilst they in Macedon do thus agree In Asia they all asunder be Perdiccas griev'd to see the princes bold So many Kingdomes in their power to hold Yet to regain them how he did not know His souldiers ' gainst those captains would not goe To suffer them go on as they begun Was to give way himself might be undone With Antipater to joyne he sometimes thought That by his help the rest might low be brought But this again dislikes he would remain If not in stile in deed a soveraign For all the princes of great Alexander Acknowledged for Chief that old Commander Desires the King to goe to Macedon Which once was of his Ancestors the throne And by his presence there to nullifie The acts of his Vice-Roy now grown so high Ant●gonus of treason first attaints And summons him to answer his complaints This he avoids and ships himself and son goes to Antipater and tells what●s done He and Craterus both with him do joyne And ' gainst Perdiccas all their strength combine Brave Ptolemy to make a fourth then sent To save himself from danger imminent In midst of these garboyles with wondrous state His masters Funeral doth celebrate In Alexandria his tomb he plac'd Which eating time hath scarcely yet defac'd Two years and more since natures debt he paid And yet till now at quiet was not laid Great love did Ptolemy by this act gain And made the souldiers on his side remain Perdiccas hears his foes are all combin●d ' Gainst which to goe is not resolv'd in
