The Tragedie of Caesar and Pompey.

{SN _Chor. I_}

_Sound alarum then flames of fire._

_Enter Discord._

Hearke how the _Romaine_ drums sound bloud & death,
And _Mars_ high mounted on his Thracian Steede:
Runs madding through _Pharsalias_ purple fieldes.
The earth that's wont to be a Tombe for Men
It's now entomb'd with Carkases of Men.
The Heauen appal'd to see such hideous sights,
For feare puts out her euer burning lights.
The Gods amaz'd (as once in _Titans_ war,) 10
Do doubt and feare, which boades this deadly iar
The starrs do tremble, and forsake their course,
The _Beare_ doth hide her in forbidden Sea,
Feare makes _Bootes_ swiften her slowe pace,
Pale is _Orion_, _Atlas_ gins to quake,
And his vnwildy burthen to forsake.
_Caesars_ keene _Falchion_, through the Aduerse rankes,
For his sterne Master hewes a passage out,
Through troupes & troonkes, & steele, & standing blood:
He whose proud Trophies whileom _Asia_ field, 20
And conquered _Pontus_, singe his lasting praise.
Great _Pompey_; Great, while Fortune did him raise,
Nowe vailes the glory of his vanting plumes
And to the ground casts of his high hang'd lookes.
You gentle Heauens. O execute your wrath
On vile mortality, that hath scornd your powers.
You night borne Sisters to whose haires are ty'd
In Adamantine Chaines both Gods and Men
Winde on your webbe of mischiefe and of plagues,
And if, O starres you haue an influence:
