nd _Cytherian_ hils,
And sacred _Gnidas_ bonnet vaile to it,
A fayrer saint then _Venus_ there shall dwell.
_Antho._ Led with the lode-starre of her lookes, I go
As crazed Bark is toss'd in trobled Seas,
Vncertaine to ariue in wished port.

ACT. I. FINIS.

{SN _Chor. II_}

_Enter Discord Flashes of fire._

_Antho._ Now _Caesar_ hath thy flattering Fortune heapt
Those golden gifts and promis'd victories, 610
By fatall signes at _Rubicon_ foretould:
Then triumph in thy glorious greatest pride,
And boast thou cast the lucky Die so well,
Now let the _Triton_ that did sound alarme,
In his shrill trump resound the victory,
That Heauen and Earth may Ecco of thy fame:
Yet thinke in this thy Fortunes Iollity.
Though _Caesar_ be as great as great may be,
Yet _Pompey_ once was euen as great as he,
And how he rode clad in _Setorius_ spoyles: 620
And the _Sicilian_ Pirats ouerthrowe.
Ruling like _Nepoune_ in the mid-land Seas,
Who basely now by Land and Sea doth flie,
The heauenly _Rectors_ prosecuting wrath,
Yet Sea nor Land can shroud him from this iar,
O how it ioyes my discord thirsting thoughts,
To see them waight, that whilom flow'd in blisse.
To see like _Banners_, vnlike quarrels haue.
And _Roman_ weapons shethd in _Roman_ blood,
For this I left the deepe Infernall shades 630
And past the sad _Auernus_ vgly iawes,
And in the world came I, being Discord hight,
Discord the daughter of the greesly night.
To make the world a hell of plauges and woes,
Twas I that did the fatal Aple fling,
Betwixt the three _Idean_ goddesses,
That so much blood of _Greekes_ and _Troians_ spilt,
Twas I that caused the deadly _Thebans_ warre,
And made the brothers swell with endlesse hate.
And now O _Rome_, woe, woe, to thee I cry 640
Which to the world do bring al misery.

ACTVS 2. SCENA 4. {SN _Act II sc. i_}

_Enter Achillas, and Sempronius._

_Ach._ Here are we placed, by _Ptolomies_ command,
To murther _Pompey_ when he comes on shore,
Then braue _Sempronius_ prepare they selfe.
To execute the charge thou hast in hand,
_Sem._ I am a _Romaine_, and haue often serued,
Vnder his collours, when in former state,
_Pompey_ hath bin the Generall of
