s, Vnto the sea vnknowne his praise did propagate, Must to my glory vayle his conquering crest: The _Lybick_ Sands, and _Africk Sirts_ hee past. _Bactrians_ and _Zogdians_, knowne but by their names, Whereby his armes resistles, powers subdued, 1270 And _Ganges_ streames congeald with _Indian_ blood, Could not transeport his burthen to the sea. But these nere lerned at _Mars_ his games to play, Nor tost these bloody bals, of dread and death: _Arar_ and proud _Saramna_ speaks my praise, _Rohdans_ shrill _Tritons_ through their brasen trumpes, Ecco my fame against the _Gallian_ Towers, And _Isis_ wept to see her daughter _Thames_. Chainge her cleere cristall, to vermilian sad, The big bond _German_ and _Heluetian_ stout, 1280 Which well haue learned to tosse a tusked speare, And well can curbe a noble stomackt horse, Can _Caesars_ vallour witnes to their greefe _Iuba_ the mighty _Affrick_ Potentate, That with his cole-black _Negroes_ to the field, Backt with _Numidian_ and _Getulian_ horse, Hath felt the puissance of a _Roman_ sword. I entred _Asia_ with my banners spred, Displayed the AEgle on the Euxin sea: By _Iason_ first, and ventrous _Argo_ cut, 1290 And in the rough _Cimerian Bosphorus_: A heauy witnesse of _Pharnaces_ flight, And now am come to triumph heere in _Rome_, VVith greater glory then ere _Romaine_ did. _Exeunt._ {SN _Act III sc. iii_} _Sound drums and Trumpets amaine._ _Enter Anthony._ _Antho._ Alas these triumphes mooue not me at all, But only do renew remembrance sad, Of her triumphing and imperious lookes, VVhich is the Saint and Idoll of my thoughtes: 1300 First was I wounded by her percing eye: Next prisoner tane by her captiuing speech, And now shee triumphes ore my conquered heart, In _Cupids_ Chariot ryding in her pride, And leades me captiue bounde in Beauties bondes: _Caesars_ lip-loue, that neuer touched his heart, By present triumph and the absent fire, Is now waxt could; but mine that was more deepe, Ingrauen in the marble of my brest, Nor time nor Fortune ere can raze it out. 1310 _Enter Anthonies bonus genius._ _Gen._ _Anthony_, base femall _Anthony_, Thou womans souldiar,
