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,
