THE
LIFE
OF
SOLINVS
,
WRITTEN
BY
IOHN
CAMERTES
.
THere
is
no
certaintie
left
in
writing
by
them
that
are
skilfull
,
in
what
time
Iulius
Solinus
florished
.
which
thing
I
beleeue
to
haue
happened
because
the
monuments
of
such
as
writ
after
him
perrished
almost
vniuersally
,
at
such
time
as
the
barbarous
nations
made
hauock
of
all
things
.
I
maruel
that
the
compiler
of
the
Supplement
of
Chronicles
(
in
all
other
respectes
a
base
wr●ter
.
)
hath
reported
that
this
Solinus
floris●ed
in
the
time
of
Augustus
Caesar
to
whom
he
surmiseth
him
to
haue
dedicated
hys
Polyhistor
.
For
it
is
euident
that
in
this
woorke
,
Solinus
maketh
mention
of
the
Emperor
Vespasians
dooings
.
Furthermore
,
hee
speaketh
of
Suetonius
Paulinus
,
whom
Plinie
saw
as
he
witnesseth
himself
.
Besides
this
,
Solinus
hath
drawn
almost
all
his
matter
out
of
Plinies
fountaines
,
and
yet
neuerthelesse
in
wryting
these
things
,
hee
desireth
hys
freende
in
the
beginning
of
his
worke
,
to
beare
wyth
hys
simplicitie
.
But
forasmuch
as
he
no
where
maketh
mention
of
Plinie
,
(
by
whom
he
was
furthered
)
I
coniecture
that
Solinus
wrate
this
work
while
Plinie
was
yet
aliue
.
And
therevppon
(
by
likelihoode
)
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
hee
made
no
mention
of
hys
author
at
that
time
liuing
.
By
like
reason
it
might
fall
out
,
that
Plinie
no
where
maketh
mention
of
Dioscorides
a
famous
wrighter
of
the
same
time
that
he
was
,
when
notwithstanding
it
is
apparant
,
that
Plinie
borowed
many
thinges
out
of
him
into
his
work
.
The
same
fault
also
might
bee
imputed
to
Dioscorides
(
for
it
might
bee
founde
in
Ammon
which
of
them
purloyned
from
other
)
if
hee
suppressing
the
name
of
Plinie
,
haue
filched
so
manie
thinges
out
of
him
.
They
that
haue
written
moste
precisely
of
the
liues
and
manners
of
Xenophon
and
Plato
,
and
sundry
other
things
of
them
,
report
that
in
al
the
numbers
of
Volumes
which
eche
of
them
wrate
,
neyther
Plato
made
once
mention
of
the
name
of
Xenophon
,
nor
Xenophon
of
the
name
of
Plato
.
Beleeue
●e
such
is
Enuies
kind
,
that
Readers
very
seeld
.
To
wryters
in
their
present
times
deserued
thanks
do
yeeld
.
For
En●y
feedeth
on
the
quick
:
but
when
that
men
be
dead
,
The
sting
of
Enuie
stints
,
and
hath
no
poison
more
to
shead
.
Which
saying
of
Naso
is
very
true
.
What
may
be
sayd
of
Macrobius
,
who
diuers
times
taketh
whole
leaues
out
of
Gellius
?
Or
of
Placidus
,
who
boroweth
of
Ser●ius
?
or
of
Acron
,
who
stealeth
from
Porphyrio
?
What
shall
wee
say
of
sixe
hundred
others
,
who
in
long
treatises
,
suppressing
the
names
of
them
from
whome
they
borowed
them
,
haue
word
for
word
attributed
all
things
to
themselues
?
No
man
doubteth
but
that
Aulus
Gellius
the
very
Diamond
of
the
Latin
tongue
,
profited
greatly
by
reading
Liuie
,
and
yet
he
wil
not
in
any
wise
that
Liuie
the
prince
of
Latin
Historiographers
,
should
be
partaker
of
his
Nights
.
Yet
am
I
not
of
the
opinion
of
some
men
,
which
thinke
that
Solinus
made
no
mention
of
Plinie
,
in
hope
that
Plinies
works
should
vtterly
haue
perished
,
&
so
his
collections
onely
haue
remained
,
and
in
processe
of
time
no
man
shold
haue
bin
able
to
discouer
his
filchings
,
as
Florus
&
Iustine
are
thought
to
haue
trauelled
to
the
like
end
&
purpose
▪
would
God
there
were
none
other
cause
then
this
of
the
losse
of
so
many
good
Authors
.
Then
to
passe
ouer
the
Greekes
by
the
way
,
the
monuments
of
Cato
,
Varro
,
Nigidius
,
Salust
,
Higinius
,
Celsus
,
Ennius
,
Furius
,
Varrius
,
Actius
,
Neuius
,
and
Pacuuius
,
all
noble
Authors
,
(
which
now
are
perrished
,
to
the
great
hinderaunce
of
Students
)
shoulde
haue
remained
vnto
this
day
.
But
howsoeuer
the
case
standeth
,
Solinus
courteously
confesseth
,
that
whatsoeuer
he
hath
comprehended
in
hys
Polyhistor
,
proceedeth
out
of
most
allowable
Authors
,
&
hechalengeth
nothing
for
his
owne
,
in
as
much
as
(
sayth
he
)
the
diligence
of
men
in
olde
time
hath
beene
such
,
that
nothing
hath
continued
vntouched
to
our
dayes
.
And
againe
he
sayth
plainly
,
that
hee
leaueth
the
auouchi●g
of
the
trueth
of
thinges
,
to
such
Authors
as
hee
hath
followed
in
this
worke
.
Neither
is
it
to
be
vpbraided
to
Solinus
as
a
shame
,
that
hee
hath
euery
where
followed
Plinie
,
more
then
Virgill
is
to
be
found
fault
with
for
translating
into
his
worke
the
verses
of
the
auncient
Poets
,
&
specially
of
Homer
.
For
it
is
no
small
commendation
to
counterfet
singulerly
a
singuler
Author
.
That
Solinus
was
a
Romaine
,
it
is
to
be
coniectured
both
by
his
phrase
of
wryting
,
and
also
for
that
commonly
when
occasion
serueth
to
speake
of
the
Romaines
,
hee
is
wont
in
most
places
to
call
them
our
men
,
or
my
countrymen
.
Not
onely
the
latter
wryters
,
(
as
Sipontinus
,
Perottus
,
Domitius
,
Calderinus
,
Angelus
Politianus
,
Hermolaus
Barbarus
,
Ianus
Parrhasius
,
and
diuers
others
such
like
,
whom
not
without
cause
a
man
might
account
among
the
auncient
wryters
.
)
But
Seruius
also
in
his
seconde
booke
vpon
Virgills
Husbandry
,
and
Priscian
,
two
of
the
sixe
notable
Gramarians
,
haue
cited
the
authoritie
of
Solinus
by
name
.
Also
the
interpreter
of
Dennis
,
(
whither
it
were
Priscian
or
Rhemninus
)
hath
oftentimes
put
whole
sentences
of
Solinussis
in
his
verses
.
If
I
be
not
deceiued
,
all
that
which
Macrobius
reciteth
of
the
diuision
of
the
yeere
,
and
of
the
odde
dayes
,
are
Solinussis
.
Moreouer
,
the
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
Ierom
,
Ambrose
,
and
Au●ten
,
and
other
Doctors
also
,
haue
many
times
borowed
sentences
worde
for
worde
out
of
Solinus
.
There
are
some
that
terme
Solinus
by
the
name
of
Plinies
Ape
,
in
like
manner
as
Iulius
Capitolinus
Plinius
Caecilius
,
and
Sidonius
Apollinaris
reporte
,
that
Titian
was
called
the
Ape
of
the
Orators
,
and
Arulen
the
Ape
of
the
Stoiks
.
But
these
men
consider
not
,
that
such
are
wont
to
be
called
Apes
,
as
eyther
repeate
things
written
by
others
altogether
in
the
same
order
without
alteration
,
or
els
such
as
counterfet
,
not
the
Authors
but
theyr
shadowes
.
But
Solinus
hath
so
followed
Plinies
phrase
,
that
(
vnder
correction
bee
it
spoken
)
there
may
scarce
any
other
be
found
,
that
hath
approched
neerer
to
the
maiestie
of
Plinies
stile
.
He
intitled
his
Booke
(
as
is
found
in
certaine
old
Coppies
)
to
his
freend
Autius
,
to
who
also
he
deliuered
it
to
be
corrected
.
Some
hold
opinion
,
that
he
left
other
monuments
also
of
hys
wyt
,
which
eyther
by
force
of
time
are
perished
,
or
els
perchaunce
lie
hyd
in
some
blinde
corner
among
Mothes
.
Finis

¶
C.
Iulius
Solinus
sendeth
hartie
commendations
to
his
freende
Autius
.
FOrasmuch
as
certain
persons
rather
of
too
much
eagernesse
then
of
good
will
,
haue
hasted
to
snatch
vp
this
little
peece
of
worke
that
I
was
in
hande
withall
,
and
haue
pulished
it
,
beeing
yet
vnpullished
,
before
the
matter
that
I
had
begunne
,
could
be
fullie
finished
:
&
now
also
do
blaze
abroad
in
corrupted
copies
,
the
things
that
are
disalowed
,
as
though
they
had
beene
well
allowed
:
slightlie
ouerpassing
such
things
as
by
further
aduise
haue
beene
added
for
the
increase
of
knowledge
:
Least
peraduenture
such
a
rude
and
vnperfect
hochpotch
should
be
brought
vnto
your
handes
as
a
●ooke
by
mee
well
ouerlooked
:
I
haue
sent
you
this
worke
in
such
sort
,
as
you
may
knowe
it
to
bee
by
myne
owne
aduise
set
in
order
.
First
,
for
that
the
processe
of
the
whole
discourse
was
to
be
referred
to
your
discretion
,
and
secondlie
to
the
intent
that
the
ilfauorednesse
of
that
rustie
publication
might
by
the
true
edition
bee
abolished
.
The
tytl●
of
this
worke
therfore
shall
be
Polyhistor
.
For
it
is
my
mind
that
the
title
which
I
had
purposed
vppon
at
the
beginning
,
(
that
is
to
say
,
A
collection
of
things
woorthy
remembrance
)
should
be
abolished
with
the
rest
of
those
thinges
that
I
haue
disallowed
.
Wherefore
when
you
shall
compare
this
Epistle
with
the
Epistle
which
is
in
the
beginning
of
the
other
coppie
,
you
shall
vnderstande
that
I
have
made
the
same
account
of
you
,
as
of
him
to
whom
I
haue
dedicated
the
whole
substaunce
of
my
trauell
.
Farewell
.

THE
EPISTLE
DEDICATORIE
of
the
Author
written
to
the
same
Autius
.
INasmuch
as
I
vnderstande
,
that
both
in
fauourable
perusing
the
dooings
of
other
men
,
and
also
in
knowledge
of
the
liberall
Sciences
,
you
excell
all
others
,
wherof
I
my self
also
haue
had
so
good
experience
,
so
as
I
cannot
seeme
to
haue
presumed
vnaduisedly
vpon
your
courtesie
,
any
further
then
becommeth
me
:
I
thought
to
dedicate
the
web
of
thys
my
little
worke
specially
vnto
you
,
as
at
whose
hande
I
hoped
eyther
for
your
learnings
sake
to
bee
the
sooner
allowed
,
or
for
your
courtesies
sake
to
bee
the
easier
borne
withall
.
The
booke
is
framed
to
a
breefenesse
,
and
(
as
farre
as
reason
woulde
suffer
)
so
moderatlye
abridged
,
that
there
is
not
in
it
,
eyther
too
lauash
aboundaunce
,
or
to
nigardly
skantnesse
.
And
if
you
consider
it
aduisedly
,
you
shall
finde
it
rather
leuened
with
knowledge
,
then
vernished
with
eloquence
.
For
I
confesse
my selfe
to
haue
studied
earnestly
certaine
choyse
Bookes
,
to
the
intent
to
digresse
further
of
from
thinges
knowne
,
and
to
make
longer
tariance
in
things
more
strange
.
Recitall
of
places
occupyeth
the
most
part
of
this
worke
,
as
whereunto
the
whole
matter
is
somewhat
inclined
of
it selfe
.
And
heereof
I
minded
in
such
wyse
to
entreate
,
as
I
might
set
out
the
platts
of
the
famous
Lands
,
&
the
notable
Bayes
of
the
Sea
,
euery
one
in
theyr
order
,
keeping
the
accustomed
distin●tion
of
the
world
.
Also
I
haue
interlaced
many
thinges
some
what
differing
(
but
not
disagreeing
)
from
the
matter
,
to
the
intent
that
(
if
nothing
els
,
yet
at
leastwyse
)
the
varietie
it selfe
myght
ease
the
wearines
of
the
Readers
▪
Heerewythall
I
haue
expressed
the
natures
of
men
and
other
lyuing
things
.
And
not
a
few
things
are
added
concerning
straunge
Trees
and
Stones
:
concerning
the
shapes
of
farborne
people
:
and
concerning
the
diuersities
of
customes
of
vnknown
nations
.
Moreouer
,
there
are
diuers
thinges
worthy
to
be
intreated
of
,
which
to
passe
ouer
,
I
thought
had
beene
a
poynt
of
negligence
,
inasmuch
as
they
be
auouched
by
the
authority
of
most
allowed
wryters
,
which
thing
inespecially
I
would
your
wysedome
shoulde
vnderstand
.
For
what
can
wee
callenge
properly
for
our
owne
,
sith
the
dilygence
of
menne
in
olde
tyme
hath
beene
such
,
that
nothyng
hath
remayned
vntouched
vnto
our
dayes
.
Wherefore
I
beseech
you
waygh
not
the
credite
of
this
woorke
that
I
put
foorth
,
in
the
ballance
of
thys
present
tyme
.
For
I
ensuing
the
print
of
the
olde
stampe
,
thought
good
rather
to
take
my
choyse
of
all
the
olde
opinions
,
then
to
alter
them
.
Therefore
if
any
of
these
thynges
shall
sound
otherwyse
to
your
vnderstanding
,
then
I
wysh
they
shold
:
I
pray
you
beare
wyth
my
vnskylfulnes
,
and
let
those
Authors
which
I
haue
followed
stande
to
the
auouching
of
the
trueth
.
And
euen
as
they
that
drawe
the
Images
of
men
,
setting
all
the
rest
aside
,
doo
first
and
formost
proportion
out
the
head
,
&
meddle
not
with
portraying
out
the
other
limbes
before
they
haue
taken
theyr
begynning
(
as
yee
woulde
say
)
at
the
very
topcastle
of
shape
and
proportion
:
So
wyll
I
also
take
my
begynning
at
the
heade
of
the
world
,
(
that
is
to
weete
)
the
Cittie
of
Rome
.
And
although
the
best
learned
Authors
haue
left
nothyng
that
may
bee
spoken
a
newe
to
the
prayse
thereof
,
and
that
therefore
it
be
almost
a
superfluous
matter
to
trace
the
pathe
,
that
hath
beene
troden
ouer
in
so
many
Chronicles
.
yet
neuertheles
,
because
it
shal
not
be
altogether
ouer

,
I
wyll
set
forth
the
Originall
thereof
wyth
as

Farewell

The
fyrst
Chapter
of
Caius
Iulius
Solinus
Polyhistor
,
entreateth
of
the
first
foundation
of
the
Cittie
Rome
.
THere
are
some
which
would
haue
it
séeme
,
Opinions
concerning
the
name
of
Rome
.
that
the
name
of
Rome
was
giuen
first
of
all
by
Euander
:
who
finding
there
a
Towne
built
before
by
the
young
men
of
Latium
which
they
called
Valentia
,
Valentia
.
kept
the
signification
of
the
first
name
,
&
called
it
in
Gréeke
Rhome
,
which
is
the
same
that
Valentia
is
in
Latine
.
And
forasmuch
as
the
Arcadians
planted
themselues
there
vppon
the
highest
toppe
of
an
Hill
,
it
came
to
passe
that
euer
after
the
Latines
termed
the
strongest
places
of
Citties
by
the
name
of
Arces
.
Heraclides
is
of
opinion
,
that
after
the
taking
of
Troy
,
certaine
Achiues
came
by
the
Riuer
Tyber
,
and
arriued
in
the
place
where
Rome
is
nowe
:
and
that
afterwarde
by
perswasion
of
one
Rome
a
noble
Lady
(
who
was

As
concerning
the
times
of
the
building
of
the
Cittie
,
The
time
of
the
buildinge
of
Rome
.
it
hath
raysed
doubtfull
questions
,
inasmuch
as
certayne
things
were
builded
there
long
before
the
time
of
Romulus

For

And
the

were

erected
an

to

,
which
among

Byshops
is
had
in

great
reuerence

Moreouer
he

For
such
a
gyft
is
giuen
it
from
Heauen
,
that
neither
dogs
nor
flyes
can
enter
into
the
place
.
For
at
such
time
as
hee
was
offering
the
inwards
of
his
sacrifice
,
it
is
sayd
that
he
cursed
the
God
Myagrus
,

God
of

and
left
his

in

so
it
continueth

The
Church
also
which
is
called
the
Treasory
of
Saturne
,
The
Treasorie
of
Saturne
.
was
builded
by
hys
companions
in
the
honor
of
Saturne
,
whom
they
had
learned
to
haue
béene
an
inhabiter
of
that
Country
.
Furthermore
they
named
the
Hill
where
now
is
the
Capitoll
,
Saturnes
Hyll
.
Of
the
Castle
also
which
they
builded
,
they
named
the
Gate
Saturnes
Gate
,
The
dwelling
of
Nicostrate
.
which
afterward
was
called
Pandangate

At
the

of

was
the

there
is

,
wherof
the
Gate
of
Carmentis
taketh
his
name
.
Wherof
the
Romane
Pallace
tooke
that
name
.
As
for
the
Pallace
it
is
not
to
be
doubted
but
that
the
Arcadians
were
founders
thereof
,
who
also
before
that
time
builded
the
Towne
Palanteum
,
which
the
Aborigens
inhabited
a
whyle
,
but
afterward
(
for
the
noysomnesse
of
the
fenne
and
marrys
which
the
Tyber
running
by
it
had
made
)
left
it
vp
and
remooued

are

of

whom

But
howsoeuer
these

:
it
is
manifest
that
the

of
the

did

Opynions
of
the
time
of
the
building
of
Rome
.
Cincius
thinketh
that
Rome
was
builded
in
the
twelfth
Olympiad
.
Fabius
●ictor
thinketh
it
was
builded
in
the
eyght
.
N●epos
and
Lactantius
approouing
the
opinions
of
Eratosthenes
and
Apoll●dorus
)
suppose
it
was
builded
in
the
second
yéere
of
the
seuenth
Olympiad
.
Pomponius
Atticus
,
and
Marcus
Tullius
C●●ero
,
hold
opinion
,
that
it
was
builded
the
third
yéere
of
the
sixt
Olympiad
.
Therefore
by
conferring
our
time●
with
the
Gréekes
,
wee
finde
that
Rome
was
builded
in
the
beginning
of
the
seauenth
Olympiad
,
the
foure
hundred
and
thrée
and
thirty
yéere
after
the
taking
of
Troy
.
For
the
gaming
of
Olympus
(
which
Hercules
made
in
the
honor
of
Pelops
hys
great
Grandfather
by
the
mothers
side
,
)
béeing
left
of
,
was
by
Iphiclus
(
one
of
hys
posteritie
)
renued
after
the
destruction
of
Troy
,
the
foure
hundred
and
eyght
yéere
.
Wherevpon
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
the
first
Olympiad
is
reckoned
from
Iphiclus
.
So
letting
passe
sixe
Olimpiads
betwéene
Iphiclus
&
the
building
of
Rome
,
An
Olimpiad
and
what
it
contayneth
.
of
which
euery
Olympiad
contayneth
foure
yéeres
,
séeing
that
Rome
was
builded
in
the
beginning
of
the
seauenth
Olimpiad
,
it
must
néedes
fall
out
that
there
were
iust
foure
hundred
thirty
and
thrée
yéeres
betwéene
the
destruction
of
Troy
,
and
the
foundation
of
Rome
.
To
the
proofe
of
this
argument
maketh
,
that
when
Caius
Pompeius
Gallus
,
and
Quintus
Verani●s
were
Consuls
,
it
was
the
eyght
hundred
and
first
yere
from
the
building
of
the
Cittie
:
which
time
of
theyr
Consulshipp
was
registred
in
the
common
Recordes
,
to
be
the
two
hundreth
and
seuenth
Olimpiad
.
Nowe
multiplie
two
hundred
and
sixe
.
Olimpiads
by
foure
▪
and
they
shall
amount
to
eyght
hundred
and
twentye
foure
yéeres
,
to
the
which
must
bee
added
the
first
yeers
of
the
seauenth
Olimpiad
,
to
make
vp
full
twenty
and
fiue
aboue
eyght
hundred
.
Out
of
the
which
summe
,
abate
twenty
and
foure
yéeres
for
the
sixe
Olimpiads
that
were
behind
:
and
the
remnant
shall
appeare
to
be
eyght
hundred
and
one
yéeres
.
Wherefore
séeing
that
the
beginning
of
the
two
hundred
and
seauen
Olimpiad
is
accounted
for
the
eyght
hundreth
and
firste
yéere
of
the
building
of
the
Cittie
,
it
is
to
bee
beléeued
that
Rome
was
builded
the
first
yéere
of
the
seauenth
Olimpiad
.
The
which
was
gouerned
by
Kinges
two
hundred
and
one
and
forty
yéeres
.
Of
the
sundry
gouernments
in
Rome
.
The
estate
of
the
Tennement
was
erected
the
thrée
hundred
and
second
yéere
.
The
first
Punick
warre
was
begun
the
foure
hundred
fourescore
and
ninth
yéere
.
The
second
Punick
war
,
the
fiue
hundred
and
thirty
fiue
yéere
.
The
third
Punick
warre
,
the
sixe
hundred
and
foure
.
The
warre
of
the
Confederats
,
the
sixe
hundred
thréescore
and
second
yéere
.
Unto
the
yéere
that
Hircius
and
Pa●sa
were
Consuls
,
there
had
passed
seauen
hundred
and
tenne
yéeres
.
In
the
time
of
whose
Consulship
,
Caesar
Augustus
Caesar
Augustus
.
was
created
Consull
in
the
eyghteenth
yéere
of
his
age

Who
so
behaued
himselfe
in
the
entrye
of
his
raigne
,
that
through
hys
circumspectnesse
,
the
Empyre
of
Rome
was
not
onely
in
quiet
,
but
also
safe
and
frée
from
all
danger
.
The
which
time
was
almost
alone
to
be
found
,
wherein
warres
for
the
most
part
had
longest
discontinuance
,
and
wits
chiefly
florished
.
Undoubtedly
to
the
intent
that
during
thys
vacation
time
,
when
warres
ceased
,
the
exercises
of
vertue
should
not
growe
out
of

Of
the
diuision
of
the
yeere
,
and
of
the
odde
dayes
added
in
the
Leape-yeeres
.
ABout
thys
tyme
was
the
orderly
course
of
the
yéere
perceiued
,
which
from
the
beginning
of
the
worlde
hadde
béene
déepely
hidden
in
darknesse
.
For
before
Augustus
Caesar
,
men
reckoned
the
yéere
diuerslie
and
vncertainely
.
The
Aegiptians
determined
it
in
foure
monethes
.
The
Arcadians
in
thrée
.
The
Acarnanians
in
sixe
.
The
Lauinians
of
Italy
in
thirtéene
:
and
this
their
yéere
was
reported
to
be
of
thrée
hundred
threescore
and
fourteene
dayes
.
The
Romaines
at
the
firste
,
accounted
ten
monethes
for
a
yéere
,
beginning
at
March.
In
so
much
that
in
the
firste
day
thereof
,
they
kindled
fire
on
the
Altars
of
Vesta
,
they
shifted
theyr
olde
Baye
Garlandes
for
Gréene
,
the
Senate
and
people
chose
newe
Officers
,
the
Matrons
serued
theyr
seruaunts
at
the
Table
,
in
like
sort
as
the
Masters
did
at
the
feaste
of
Saturne
:
the
Matrons
to
the
intent
through
this
courtesie
to
prouoke
them
to
the
more
obedience
,
the
Maisters
as
it
were
to
rewarde
them
in
respect
of
theyr
paynes
taken
:
specially
seeing
this
moneth
is
the
first
,
and
chiefe
of
all
the
rest
,
which
may
wel
be
prooued
,
in
that
the
fift
moneth
from
it
was
called
Quintilis
,
&
when
the
full
number
was
fulfilled
.
December
did
close
vp
the
whole

within
the

For
at
that

thys
number
of

accomplished
the

,
so
that

were
of

dayes

peece
.
But
forasmuch
as
that
account
before
the
comming
of
Numa
differed
from
the
course
of
the
Moone
,
they
supplyed
the
yeere
to
the
computation
of
the
Moone
,
by
putting
thereto
one
and
fiftye
dayes
.
To
the
intent
therfore
to
make
vp
full
twelue
monethes
,
they
tooke
from
eche
of
the
sayd
sixe
monethes
one
day
,
and
put
them
to
these
one
and
fiftye
,
and
so
made
iust
fifty
and
seauen
,
the
which
were
deuided
into
two
monethes
,
whereof
the
one
contained
twentie
and
nine
dayes
,
the
other
twenty
and
eyght
.
So
the
yeere
began
to
haue
three
hundred
fiftye
&
fiue
dayes
.
Afterward
,
when
they
perceiued
the
yéere
to
be
vnaduisedly
determined
within
the
foresayd
daies
,
forasmuch
as
it
appeared
that
the
Sunne
finished
not
hys
ful
course
in
the
Zodiack
,
before
the
three
hundreth
threescore
and
fift
day
,
wyth
the
ouerplus
welneere
of
a
quarter
of
a
day
:
they
added
that
quarter
and
tenne
dayes
,
to
the
intent
the
yéere
should
consist
of
ful
thrée
hundred
threescore
and
fiue
dayes
,
and
the
fourth
part
of
a
day
.
Whereunto
they
were
the
rather
induced
for
obseruing
the
odde
number
,
which
(
according
to
the
doctrine
of
Pythagoras
)
ought
to
be
preferred
in
all
thinges
.
And
heerevpon
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
Ianuary
for
hys
odde
dayes
is
dedicated
to
the
Gods
supernal
,
and
February
for
hys
euen
dayes
as
vnlucky
is
allotted
to
the
Gods
infernall
.
Therefore
when
as
thys
order
of
account
séemed
alowable
to
the
whole
world
,
for
the
exacter
keeping
of
the
sayd
quarter
,
it
was
of
diuers
Nations
diuersly
added
,
and
yet
it
could
neuer
be
brought
to
passe
,
to
sal
out
euen
with
ths
time
.
The
Greekes
abated
out
of
euery
yeere
eleuen
dayes
,
and
the
fourth
part
of
a
day
:
which
beeing
eyght
tymes
multiplyed
,
they
reserued
to
the
ninth
yeere
,
to
the
intent
that
the
number
of
nine
béeing
gathered
into
one
grosse
summe
,
might
be
deuided
into
3.
monethes
of
thirty
dayes
a
péece
.
The
which
being
restored
againe
the
ninth
yeere
,
made
foure
hundred
forty
and
foure
dayes
,
which
they
called
odde
or
superfluous
dayes
.
The
Romaines
liked
well
of
this
reckoning
at
the
first
.
But
afterward
mislyking
it
in
respect
of
the
euen
number
;
they
neglected
it
,
and
within
short
space
forgot
it
,
committing
the
order
of
the
addition
to
the
Priestes
:
who
to
pleasure
the
tolegatherers
in
theyr
accounts
,
did
after
theyr
owne
fancy
shorten
or
lengthen
the
yeere
as
they
lysted
.
Whyle
thinges
stoode
in
this
case
,
and
that
the
manner
of
adding
was
sometime
too
short
,
and
sometime
too
long
,
or
els
dissembled
and
let
slip
altogether
:
it
happened
oftentimes
that
the
monethes
which
had
beene
woont
to
passe
in
Winter
,
fell
one
whyle
in
Sommertime
,
and
another
while
in
the
fal
of
the
leafe
.
Caius
Caesar
therefore
to
the
intent
to
set
a
stay
in
this
variablenesse
,
did
cutte
of
all
this
turmoyling
of
the
tymes
.
And
that
the
error
foreslypped
myght
be
reduced
to
some
certaine
staiednesse
:
he
added
twenty
and
one
dayes
and
sixe
houres
at
a
time
,
by
meanes
wherof
the
monethes
being
drawn
backe
to
theyr
accustomed
places
,
might
from
thenceforth
kéepe
theyr
Ordinarie
and
appointed
seasons
.
That
onely
yéere
therfore
had
thrée
hundred
and
foure
and
forty
daies
,
and
all
the
rest
afterward
had
thrée
hundred
thréescore
and
fiue
daies
,
and
sixe
howres
.
This
notwithstanding
,
then
also
was
a
default
committed
by
Priestes
.
For
whereas
order
was
taken
that
they
shoulde
euerye
foure
yeere
adde
one
daie
,
which
ought
to
haue
beene
doone
at
the
ende
of
the
fourth
yéere
,
before
the
fifte
yéere
began
,
they
reckoned
it
in
the
beginning
of
the
fourth
yéere
,
and
not
in
the
ende
.
By
meanes
wherof
,
in
thirtie
and
sixe
yéeres
,
whereas
nine
daies
had
béen
sufficient
,
twelue
daies
were
reckoned
.
The
which
béeing
espied
,
Augustus
reformed
in
this
wise
.
Hee
commaunded
that
twelue
yéeres
should
passe
without
leape
,
to
the
intent
that
those
thrée
daies
aboue
the
nine
,
which
were
superfluously
added
,
might
by
this
means
be
recompensed
.
Uppon
which
discipline
was
afterward
grounded
the
order
of
all
times
.
Notwithstanding
,
albeit
that
for
these
and
many
other
thinges
,
we
may
thinke
our selues
beholding
to
the
raigne
of
Augustus
,
The
mis-fortunes
of
the
Emperour
Augustus
.
who
was
almost
péerelesse
in
his
gouernment
:
yet
there
are
to
be
found
so
manie
mis-fortunes
in
his
life
,
that
a
manne
can
not
easily
discerne
whither
hee
were
more
miserable
or
happy
.
First
,
for
that
in
his
sute
to
his
Uncle
for
the
Lieuetenantship
of
the
horsmen
,
Lepidus
the
Tribune
was
preferred
before
him
,
not
without
a
certaine
foyle
of
his
first
attempts
.
Secondlie
,
for
that
he
was
greatlie
anoied
by
the
authoritie
of
Antony
ioyned
with
him
in
the
office
of
the
Thréemen
,
and
with
the
battell
at
Philippo
.
Thirdly
for
the
hatred
that
hee
raised
against
himselfe
for
proclayming
the
Noblemen
Traytors
:
The
disheriting
of
Agrippa
,
(
borne
after
the
decease
of
his
Father
)
whom
he
had
adopted
before
to
be
his
Sonne
,
and
the
great
repentance
he
tooke
thereof
afterward
,
for
the
desire
he
had
vnto
him
.
His
shipwracks
in
Sicill
:
his
shamefull
lurking
in
a
Caue
there
:
the
often
mutinies
of
his
Souldiours
against
him
:
the
thought
hee
tooke
in
the
siedge
of
Perusium
:
the
detecting
of
hys
[
](A12581-e3310-b)*
*
Her
〈…〉
.
Daughters
aduoutrie
,
and
of
the
intent
shee
had
to
murther
him
:
and
(
as
shamefull
a
matter
as
that
other
)
the
infamie
of
his
Néece
,
blamed
for
the
death
of
her
Sonnes
:
the
gréefe
of
his
solitarinesse
for
the
lesse
of
his
Children
,
which
was
not
a
corzie
alone
:
The
pestilence
that
raigned
in
the
Cittie
.
The
famine
through
all
Italie
,
in
the
time
of
his
warres
in
Illirick
:
the
narrowe
shifts
that
he
was
driuen
to
for
want
of
Souldiours
:
the
crazednes
of
his
body
which
was
alwaies
sicklie
:
the
spightfull
discention
of
Nero
hys
Wyues
Sonne
:
the
vnfaithfull
imaginations
of
his
wife
and
her
Sonne
Tiberius
:
and
manie
other
thinges
of
the
same
sort
.
Notwithstanding
,
as
though
the
World
hadde
bewailed
this
mans
ende
,
the
euils
hanging
ouer
mens
heades
,
were
shewed
before
by
tokens
nothing
doubtfull
.
For
one
Fausta
a
woman
of
the
meaner
sorte
,
brought
foorth
at
one
burthen
foure
Twinnes
,
Foretokens
of
the
death
of
Augustus
.
two
Sonnes
,
and
as
manie
Daughters
:
prognosticatinge
by
her
monstrous
fruitfulnesse
,
the
great
calamitie
that
was
to
come
.
Howbeit
that
Trogus
the
wryter
of
Histories
affirmeth
that
seauen
are
borne
together
at
one
burthen
in
Aegypt
:
monstruous
fruitfulnesse
of
Women
.
which
thing
in
that
Country
is
not
so
great
a
wonder
,
forasmuch
as
the
Ryuer
Nilus
with
his
fruitfull
water
,
maketh
plentifull
,
not
onelie
the
soile
of
the
grounde
,
but
also
mens
bodyes
.
Wée
reade
that
Cneus
Pompeius
did
shewe
openly
in
the
Theater
at
Rome
,
one
Eutichis
a
woman
of
Asia
,
Twentie
Children
at
three
c●●ld
beddes
.
with
her
twentie
Children
,
which
she
was
certainlie
knowne
to
haue
beene
deliuered
of
at
three
burthens
onelie
.
And
therefore
I
thinke
it
exp●dient
to
treate
in
thys
place
concerning
the
generation
of
Man
.
CAP.
III.
Of
Man
and
of
his
byrth
:
of
men
of
wonderfull
strength
:
and
of
the
stone
Alectorius
,
or
the
Cockstone
.
FOr
inasmuch
as
we
are
minded
to
make
a
note
of
thinges
woorthy
to
be
touched
,
concerning
lyuing
creatures
,
as
the
Countries
of
eche
of
them
souerally
shal
put
vs
in
remembraunce
.
Reason
would
we
should
begin
chiefly
at
that
creature
which
nature
hath
preferred
before
al
others
in
iudgement
of
vnderstanding
,
and
capacitie
of
wisedome
.
Of
Women
,
some
bee
barren
for
euer
:
othersome
by
change
of
Husbandes
become
fruitfull
.
Many
beare
but
one
Childe
:
and
diuers
bring
forth
eyther
onely
Males
,
or
onelie
Females
.
After
fiftie
yéeres
the
fruitfulnesse
of
them
all
is
at
a
point
:
but
Men
begette
Children
vntill
they
be
fourescore
,
like
as
King
Masinissa
begat
his
Sonne
[
](A12581-e3570-b)*
*
He
was
also
called
Methym●us
.
Metymathnus
,
when
he
was
of
the
age
of
fourescore
and
sixe
yéeres
.
Ca●●
when
he
was
full
fourescore
yéere
old
and
vpward
,
begat
the
Grandfather
of
Cato
that
killed
himselfe
at
Vti●a
,
vpon
the
Daughter
of
his
Client
Salonius
.
Thys
is
also
found
to
be
of
a
truth
,
that
when
two
are
conceiued
one
somewhat
after
another
,
the
Woman
goeth
out
her
full
time
of
them
both
:
like
as
hath
beene
séene
in
Hercules
and
his
broth●r
Iphiclus
,
The
byrth
of
Hercules
and
Iphiclu●
.
who
béeing
carryed
both
in
one
burthen
,
had
notwithstanding
like
distaunce
of
time
betwéene
their
birthes
,
as
there
was
distance
betwéene
their
begetting
.
And
likewise
in
a
wench
called
Proconesia
,
who
committing
aduoutry
with
two
sundry
men
,
was
deliuered
of
a
payre
of
Twinnes
eche
of
them
resembling
his
Father
.
This
Iphiclus
begat
Iolaus
,
who
entering
the
Iland
Sardinia
and
there
alluring
vnto
concord
the
wauering
minds
of
the
inhabitants
,
builded
Olbia
and
other
Greeke
Townes
.
They
which
after
his
name
were
called
Iolenses
,
reared
a
Temple
ouer
his
Tombe
,
because
he
folowing
the
vertues
of
his
Uncle
,
Of
the
conception
of
Man
.
hadde
deliuered
Sardinia
from
manie
euilles
.
The
tenth
day
after
conception
will
by
some
paine
put
the
Mothers
in
remembraunce
that
they
be
with
Child
.
For
from
that
tyme
forward
,
their
heads
shall
begin
to
bée
disquieted
,
and
their
sight
shal
waxe
dimme
.
Also
the
appetite
of
their
stomack
shall
abate
,
and
they
shall
beginne
to
loathe
meate
.
It
is
agréed
vpon
among
all
men
,
that
of
the
whole
flesh
,
the
first
part
that
is
formed
is
the
harte
,
and
that
it
increaseth
vnto
the
thréescore
and
fift
day
,
and
afterwarde
diminisheth
againe
:
and
that
of
gristles
are
made
the
backbones
:
and
therefore
it
putteth
them
in
daunger
of
death
if
eyther
of
bothe
those
partes
be
hurt
.
Doubtlesse
if
it
be
a
Malechild
that
is
in
fashioning
,
the
Women
that
beare
them
are
better
coloured
,
and
their
deliueraunce
is
more
spéedy
,
and
finally
it
beginneth
to
stirre
at
the
fortie
day
.
The
Female
stirreth
not
before
the
fourescore
and
tenth
daie
,
and
the
conception
thereof
dyeth
the
countenaunce
of
the
Mother
with
a
pale
colour
,
and
also
hindereth
the
legges
with
a
faint
slownesse
in
going
.
In
bothe
kindes
,
when
the
heare
beginneth
to
growe
,
then
is
the
greater
disease
,
and
the
paine
is
more
bréeme
in
the
full
of
the
Moone
,
with
time
also
is
alwaies
noysome
to
them
when
they
are
borne
.
Wh●n
a
Woman
wyth
Child
eateth
meates
that
are
ouersalt
,
the
Child
shal
be
borne
without
nayles
.
At
such
time
as
the
byrth
béeing
fully
rype
approcheth
to
the
instant
of
deliueraunce
,
it
greatlie
auaileth
the
Woman
that
laboreth
to
hold
her
breath
,
for
asmuch
as
yawning
dooth
wyth
deadlie
delay
prolong
the
deliuery
.
It
is
againste
nature
for
the
byrth
to
come
foorth
with
his
féete
forward
:
and
therefore
as
Children
hardly
borne
,
Of
such
as
are
borne
wyth
theyr
feete
forwarde
.
they
are
called
in
Latine
,
Agrippae
.
Such
as
are
so
borne
,
are
for
the
moste
parte
vnfortunate
and
short
liued
.
Onely
in
one
Man
,
namely
Marcus
Agrippa
,
it
was
a
token
of
good
lucke
:
howbeit
not
altogether
so
misfortunelesse
but
that
hee
suffered
more
aduersitie
then
prosperity
.
For
with
miserable
paine
of
his
féete
,
and
the
open
aduoutry
of
hys
wife
,
and
certaine
other
marks
of
ill
luck
,
hee
did
abye
the
foretoken
of
his
awke
byrth
.
There
is
also
an
vnfortunate
manner
of
byrth
in
the
Female
kinde
,
like
as
was
séene
by
Cornelia
the
Mother
of
the
Gracchusses
,
who
made
satis-faction
for
her
monstrous
byrth
,
The
first
Caesar
among
the
Romaines
.
wyth
the
vnluckye
ende
of
her
Children
.
Againe
the
byrthe
is
the
more
luckie
where
the
Mother
dyes
of
it
:
as
was
seeme
by
the
first
Scipio
Affricanus
,
who
after
the
death
of
his
Mother
,
because
hée
was
ript
out
of
her
wombe
,
was
the
firste
of
the
Romaines
that
was
called
Caesar.
Of
Twynnes
,
if
the
one
remaine
still
and
the
other
perrish
by
béeing
borne
before
his
time
,
hee
that
is
borne
at
hys
full
tyme
is
called
Vopiscus
.
Some
are
borne
wyth
téeth
,
as
Cneus
Papirius
,
Carbo
,
and
Marcus
Curius
,
who
for
the
same
cause
was
surnamed
the
toothed
.
Some
instéede
of
téeth
haue
the
roome
supplied
with
one
whole
bone
.
After
which
manner
Prusias
King
of
Bythinia
had
a
Sonne
.
The
téeth
differ
in
number
according
to
the
difference
of
the
kind
.
For
in
men
are
moe
,
and
in
women
are
fewer
of
those
téeth
which
are
called
dogtéeth
.
Unto
such
as
haue
two
double
téeth
growing
vp
vppon
the
right
side
of
theyr
mouth
,
it
behighteth
the
fauour
of
Fortune
.
And
vnto
such
as
haue
them
on
the
left
side
,
it
betokeneth
the
contrary
.
The
firste
voyce
of
Children
after
they
bee
borne
is
wayling
.
For
the
declaration
of
myrth
is
delayed
to
the
forteth
daie
.
Wee
knowe
of
none
that
laughed
the
same
howre
he
was
borne
,
Zoroastres
king
of
the
Bactrians
.
Crassus
.
but
onely
one
:
that
is
to
wéete
,
Zoroastres
,
who
became
moste
skilfull
and
cunning
in
all
good
artes
.
But
Crassus
,
the
Graundfather
of
him
that
was
slayne
in
the
battell
againste
the
Parthians
,
because
he
neuer
laughed
,

As
in
the
famous
Poet
of
Byzance
,
who
hauing
a
Mother
that
was
the
bastarde
of
an
Aethiopian
,
although
there
were
nothing
in
her
resembling
her
Father
,
yet
did
he
degenerate
againe
into
the
likenesse
of
the
Aethiopian
that
was
his
Grandfather
.
But
this
is
the
lesse
wonder
,
if
wee
consider
those
thinges
that
haue
béene
séene
betwixt

One
Artemon
a
man
of
the
baser
sort
in
Syria

Of

did
so
resemble

Antiochus
in

,
that
afterwarde
the

by

kept

so
long
,
vntill
such
a
one
was
ordeyned
successor
of
the
Kingdome
as
shee
listed
to
appoynt

There
was
such
likenesse
to
all
respects
in
personage
and
making
,
betwéene
Cneus
Pompeius
,
and
Caius
Vibius
a
man
of

,
that

called
Vibius
by
the
name
of
Pompey
,
and
Pompey
by
the

.
Rubrius
the
Stage-player
did
so
fully
expresse
the

Lucius

,
that
the
people
called
him
Plancus
also
.
Mirmillo
a
Neatehearde
,
and
Cassius
Seuerus
the
Orator
did
so
resemble
one
another
,
that
if
they
were

together
at
any
time
,
they
coulde
not
be
discerned
which
was
which
,
vnlesse
there
were
a
difference
in
theyr
apparell
.
Marcus
Messala
Censorius
,
and
Menogenes
a
fellowe
of
the
verye
rascallest
sort
,
were
so
like
,
that

Man
thought
Messala
to
bée
none
other
then
Menogenes
,
nor
Menogenes
anie
other

Messala

A

of

euen
in

So

in

impediment
of

and
slowe
brynging
foorth
of
theyr
wordes
,
through
the
default
of
nature
.
Sometime
also
it
hath
béene
a
wonder
to
sée
the
vndiscernable
likenesse
of
countenaunces
,
not
onely
in
straungers
,
but
also
euen
in
such
as
haue
béene
brought
together
from
the
furthest
partes
of
the
whole
worlde
.
For
where
as
one
Thoranius
solde
vnto
Antony
bearing
at
that
time
the
office
of
Triumuir
,
for
thréehundred
Sesterties
,
two
Boyes
of
excellent
beautie
for
Twynnes
,
of
which
he
had
gotten
the
one
in
Fraunce
and
the
other
in
Asia
,
)
so
resembling
eche
other
in
all
poynts
,
that
they
might
haue
béene
taken
bothe
for
one
,
if
theyr
spéech
hadde
not
bewrayed
them
:
and
that
therefore
Antonie
was
displeased
,
thinking
hymselfe
to
haue
béene
deluded
,
because
they
were
not
Twynnes
indéed
.
Thoranius
pleasantlie
auouched
,
that
that
thing
was
chiefely
to
be
estéemed
,
which
the
Chapman
founde
fault
wyth
.
For
it
had
béene
no
wonder
to
haue
had
two
Twyns
like
:
But
this
was
it
which
could
by
no
meanes
be
prysed
according
to
the
value
,
that
béeing
of
two
diuers
Countryes
so
farre
distaunt
,
they
were
borne
more
like
one
another
then
any
Twinnes
.
With
which
aunswere
Antonie
was
so
appeased
,
that
euer
after
hee
woulde
tell
men
,
he
had
not
any
one
thing
of
all
hys
possessions
,
that
he
did
sette
more
store
by
.
Nowe
if
wee
shall
mooue
question
concerning
the
personages
of
menne
,
Of
the
talenes
and
goodly
personages
of
men
in
olde
time
it
will
manifestly
appeare
,
that
antiquitie
hath
vaunted
no
lyes
at
all
of
it selfe
:
but
that
the
ofspring
of
our
time
béeing
corrupted
by
succession
growing
out
of
kinde
,
hath
through
the
decrease
of
them
that
are
nowe
borne
,
lost
the
comlinesse
of
the
auncient
beautie
.
Therefore
although
dyuers
doo
conclude
,
that
no
man
can
excéede
the
stature
of
seauen
foote
,
because
that
Hercules
was
no
hygher
then
so
:
yet
notwithstanding
,
it
was
founde
in
the
time
of
the
Romaines
vnder
the
Emperour
Augustus
,
Pusio
and
Secundilla
.
that
Pusio
and
Secundilla
were
tenne
foote
high
and
more
:
the
corses
of
whom
,
are
yet
to
bee
séene
in
the
Charnelhouse
of
the
Salusts
.
Afterward
,
in
the
raigne
of
Claudius
,
there
was
one
named
Gabbara
Gabbara
brought
out
of
Araby
,
that
was
nyne
foote
and
as
many

.
But
almoste
a
thousande
yeeres
before
Augustus
,
there
was
no
such
personage
séene
,
neither
after
the
time
of
Claudius
.
For
what
is
he
in
our
dayes
that
is
not
borne
lesser
then
his
Parents
?

of

able

fought
foure

gotte
the

with

had
two

Béeing
twise
taken

he
scaped

when
by

in

béene
prisoner
,
he
had
at
no

been
without

In
all
the
sharpest
battels
which
the
Romaines
tasted
of
in

he
béeing

Happie

Who

notable
for

:
who
loste

who
florished
in

:
of
the
prayse
of
manners
,
of
godlinesse
,
of
chastity
,
and
who
hath
beene
iudged
happy
.
CYrus
was
notable
for
the
good
gifte
of
memorie
,
Cyrus
King
of
Persia.
who
in
the
most
populous
armie
whereof
hee
was
Captaine
,
coulde
call
euerie
seuerall
personne
by
his
name
.
The
same
thing
did
Lucius
Scipio

among
the
people

.
But
wee
may
beleeue
that
bothe
Scipio
and
Cyrus
were
furthered
by
custome
.
Cyneas
Cyneas
.
the
Ambassador
of
Pyrrhus
,
the
next
day
after
he
was
entered
into

,
saluted
both
the
Knights
and
also
the
Senators
by
their
propper
names
.
Methridates
Methridates
King
of
Pontus
ministred
iustice
without
an
interpreter
,
to
two
and
twenty
Nations
that
were
vnder
his
dominion
.
It
is
manifest
that

like
as
in
the
Philosopher
Metrodorus
that
was
in
the
time
of
doggyshe
Diogenes
:
who
furthered
himselfe
so
much
by
dailie
practise
,
and
beating
with
himselfe
,
that
he
kept
in
remembrance
what
many
men
spake
at
once
,
not
only
in
order
of
sence
,
but
also
in
order
of
wordes
.
Notwithstanding
it
hath
béene
often
séene
,
The
perishing
and
losse
of
memorie
.
that
nothing
may
easiler
be
perished
by
feare
,
by
falling
,
by
chance
,
or
by
sicknesse
.
We
haue
founde
that
he
that
was
but
striken
with
a
stone
,
forgot
to
reade
.
Surely
Messala
Coruinus
Messala
Coruinus
.
after
a
disease
that
hee
had
endured
,
was
so
striken
with
forgetfulnesse
,
that
he
remembred
not
his
owne
name
,
and
yet
otherwise
his
wit
was
freshe
enough
.
Feare
astonieth
the
memorie
.
And
again
feare
Feare
.
is
an
enforcement
of
spéeche
,
the
which
it
not
onelie
sharpeneth
,
but
also
extorteth
although
there
were
none
before
.
Surely
when
Cyrus
in
the
eyght
and
fiftie
Olympiad
entred
by
assault
into
Sardis
,
Athis
the
Sonne
of
king
Craesus
.
a
Towne
of
Asia
,
where
Craesus
at
that
time
lay
hidden
,
Athis
the
Kinges
Sonne
(
who
vnto
that
instaunt
hadde
alwaies
béene
dumbe
,
)
burst
out
into
spéech
by
force
of
feare
.
For
it
is
reported
,
that
he
cryed
out
:
Cyrus
spare
my
Father
,
and
learne
to
know
(
at
leastwise
by
our
casualties
)
that
thou
art
a
Man
.
Nowe
remaineth
to
intreate

,
Excellency

Cato
.
the
excellentnes
whereof
appeared
moste
in
two
men
.
Cato
the
founder
of
the
stocke
of
the
Portians
was
a
verye
good
Senator
,
a
very
good
Orator
,
and
a
verie
good
Captaine
.
Neuerthelesse
,
for
diuers
quarrelles
picked
vnto
him
of
malice
,
he
was
endited
and
arrayned
fortie
and
foure
times
,
but
yet
was
alwaies
quitted
.
The
praise
of
Scipio
Aemilianus
Scipio
Aemilianus
.
is
yet
greater
:
who
besides
the
vertues
for
which
Cato
was
renowmed
,
surmounted
also
in
loue
towards
the
common
weale
.
Scipio
Nasica
Scipio
Nasica
was
iudged
to
bee
the
best
man
then
lyuing
,
not
onely
by
the
voice
of
the
commons
,
but
also
by
the
othe
of

whole
Senate

inasmuch
as
none
coulde
bee
founde
worthier

he
,

misterie
of
chiefe

this

was
not

three

The

Archilocus

Surely
thys
was
counted
a
great
thing
in
those
dayes
,
when
eloquence
was
had
in
chiefe
estimation
both
of

For
at

bewrayed

murthers
of

Poet
Archilocus

and
the
déede
of
the
felons
was
detected
by
God

the

But

béene

by
Marcus
Cato
,
that
there
cannot

Authors
hath
not

for
the
Country
is
so
excellent
,
as
it
ministreth
matter
of
praise
aboundantly
,
while
the
notablest

consider
the
healthfulnesse
of
the

,
the
temperatenesse
of
the

,
the

of
the

,
the

of

Marcus

The

of
the
comming
of

into

Neither
must
it
be
omitted
that
Aenaeas
arryuing
on
the
coast
of
Italy
the
second
sommer
after
that
Troy
was
taken
(
as
Hemina
reporteth
)
wyth
no

,
in

companie
,
piched

Campe
in

and
there
while
hee
was
dedicating
the
Image
that
he
had
brought
wyth
him
out
of

,
vnto
his
Mother
Venus
by
the
name

,
he
receiued
the
Image
of

of

,
and
anon
after
receiuing
fiue
hundred
Acres
of
ground
of
King
Latinus
,
hee
raigned
thrée
yéeres
in
equall
authoritie
with
him
.
After
whose
decease
,
when
he
had
raigned
two
yéeres
,
he
went
to
the
Riuer
Numicius
and
was
neuer
séene
more
.
The
seauenth
yéere
after
,
was
giuen
to

the

Afterward
were

by

,
Sybill
of

:
and

There
is
the
Chappell
of
the

Sybill
which
in
the
fift
Olympiade
was
present
at
the
Romaine
enterprises
,
whose
booke
our
Bishops
resorted
to
for
Counsell
,
vntill
the
time
of
Cornelius
Sylla
:
for
then
was
it
together
with
the
Capitoll
consumed
with
fire
.
As
for
her
two
former
bookes
,
shee
hadde
burned
them
with
her
owne
handes
,
because
Tarquine
the
proude
did
offer
her
a
more
niggardly
price
then
she
had
sette
them
at
.
Sybill
of
Delphos
.
Her
Tombe
remaineth
yet
in
Sicill
.
Bocchus
auoucheth
that
Sybell
of
Delphos
prophesied
before
the
battel
of
Troy
,
and
he
declareth
that
Homer
did
put
many
of
her
verses
into
his
worke
.
After
her
,
within
fewe
yéeres
space
,
followed
Heriphylee
of
Aerythra
,
Sybill
of
Aerithra
.
who
was
also
called
Sybill
for
the
affinity
she
had
with
that
other
in
the
same
kind
of
knowledge
:
who
among
other
great
thinges
,
warned
the
Lesbians
that
they
should
loose
the
dominion
of
the
Sea
,
many
yéeres
before
the
thing
came
to
passe
.
So
the
very
order
of
the
time
prooueth
,
that
Sybill
of

was
third
after

The

(
wherein
sometime
the

Country

Ryuer
Lyris

ryseth
whole

from

reached
to
the

of

,
and
the
Seacoast
of

Brutians
,
where
it
shooteth
Southward
into

Procéeding
from
thence
,
it
rayseth
it selfe
by

Appen●ne
,
lying

betwéene

that
is
to

,
betwéene
the

like
an

larger
in

When

it
deuideth
into

the

Betwéene

it

not
the

That

,
it
is
no
maruell

For
they
fetch
their

of
the

vnderstand

But
assoone

by

they

This

the

Temple

The
wonderfull
nature

alonely
nourisheth
Diomeds
birds

For
this
kind
of
Foule
is
no
where
els
in
al
the
worlde
but
there
.
And
that
thing
alone
might
séeme
woorthy
to
bée
recorded
,
though
there
were
not
other
thinges
beside
not
méete
to
bee
omitted
.
They
are
in
fashion
almost
like
a
Coote
,
of
colour
whyte
,
with
fierie
eyes
,
and
●oothed
bylles
.
They
flie
in
flocks
,
and
not
without
order
in
theyr
setting
forth
.
They
haue
two
Captaines
,
that
rule
theyr
flight
:
of
whom
the
one
flyeth
before
,
and
the
other
behinde
:
the
sormost
as
a
guyde
to
direct
them
certainly
which
way
to
flie
,
the
hindermost
as
an
ouerséear
to
haste
forward
them
that
lagge
behinde
,
with
continuall
calling
vpon
them
.
And
this
is
the
order
that
they
keepe
in
theyr
fléeting
.
When
bréeding
time
is
at
hande
,
they
digge
pits
with
their
billes
:
and
then
bending
wickers
ouer
them
after
the
manner
of
Hardles
,
they
close
in
that
which
they
haue
made
hollow
vnderneath
.
And
least
they
might
bee
vncouered
if
paraduenture
the
windes
should
blowe
awaie
theyr
woodden
roofes
,
they
coope
this
watling
ouer
with
the
earthe
which
they
hadde
throwne
out
when
they
digged
the
pittes
.
So
they
build
theyr
nestes
with
two
entryes
,
and
that
not
at
a
venture
:
insomuch
that
they
caste
their
entries
in
and
out
,
according
to
the
quarters
of
the
heauen
.
The
dor●
that
they
goe
out
at
to
their
féeding
,
openeth
into
the
East
:
and
that
which
receiueth
them
home
againe
,
is
towarde
the
West
.
To
the
intent
the
light
may
both
hast
them
when
they
make
tariaunce
,
and
also
not
faile
them
to
return
home
by
.
When
they
will
purge
their
paunches
,
they
mount
aloft
against
the
wind
,
to
the
intent
it
may
carrie
their
ordure
the
further
from
them
.
They
discerne
a
straunger
from
a
man
of
the
Country
.
For
if
he
be
a
Gréeke
,
they
approche
vnto
him
,
and
as
far
as
may
bee
vnderstanded
,
doo
fawne
gentlie
vppon
him
as
their
Countriman
.
But
if
he
be
of
anie
other
Nation
,
they
flye
vpon
him
and
assault
him
.
They
frequent
the
holy
Church
euery
day
after
this
maner
.
They
wash
their
feathers
in
the
water
,
&
when
they
haue
wet
their
wings
throughlie
,
they
come
flocking
al
on
a
deaw
,
&
so
shaking
the
moisture
vppon
the
Church
,
doo
purge
it
.
Then
they
rouse
their
feathers
,
&
afterwarde
,
as
hauing
doone
their
deuotion
,
depart
again
.
Here
vppon
it

In

This

it

wonder
that

Where

The
Partriches

they
are
not

neither
are
they
at

to
flye

Insomuch
that

Marches

The
nature
of
Partriches
in
generall
This
is
peculiar
to
the
Partriches
of
Baeotia
.
For
such
things
as
are
common
to
all
other
Partriches
,
we
will
treate
of
generally
héereafter
.
Partriches
are
slie
in
trimming
and
fencing
their
nestes
.
For
they
hedge
in
their
haunts
with
pricking
shrubs
,
and
sharpe
sprigges
,
to
the
intent
such
beastes
as
are
noysome
vnto
them
may
bee
kept
off
with
the
sharpnesse
of
the
thornes
.
Under
their
Egges
they
lay
dust
:
and
they
come
and
goe
priuily
,
least
theyr
often
haunting
should
bewray
the
place
.
Many
times
the
Hennes
re●ooue
the
egges
out
of
the
way
,
to
deceiue
the
Cocks
,
who
trouble
them
out
of
all
measure
with
theyr
continuall
flickering
about
them
.
There
is
fighting
among
the
Cocks
for
the
Hens
:
and
it
is
thought
that
those
which
are
ouercome
,
doo
abide
the
other
to
tread
them
as
if
they
were
Hennes
.
They
are
so
ranke
of
nature
,
that
if
the
winde
doo
but
blow
from
the
Cocks
,
the
Hennes
become
with
egge
,
euen
wyth
the
verye
sent
of
them
.
And
if
anie
manne
come
néere
the
place
where
they
sitte
,
the
Hennes
springing
forth
doo
offer
themselues
of
their
owne
accorde
to
the
commers
,
and
feygning
some
default
in
their
féete
or
their
winges
,
(
as
though
they
might
be
by
and
by
caught
)
they
counter●et
a
slowe
pace
before
them
.
By
which
subtiltye
they
eg
foorth
such
as
they
méete
,
and
mocke
them
vntill
they
haue
tolled
them
and
drawne
them
a
greate
way
of
from
theyr
neste
.
Neyther
are
their
yong
ones
lesse
carefull
for
theyr
parte
,
howe
to
saue
themselues
.
For
when
they
perceiue
that
they
are
séene
,
they
caste
themselues
vpon
their
backes
,
and
take

Orestes
fléeing

The

so
also
grewe
in

and
stomacke
méete
for
hys
royall
race
:
and
conquering
all
that
extendeth
to
the

,
and

hee
called
the

(

was

betwéene

of

the

,
)
dooth
put
vs
in
minde
to
declare
throughlie
with
how
great
proofes
of
soueraigntie
there
,
the
tokens
of
that
Heauenlie
warfare
haue
and
doo
continue
it
vnto
thys
day
.
If
at
any
time
(
as
it
commeth
to
passe
indéede
)
the
brookes
ryse
with
foule
weather
,
and
the
excesse
of
waters
breaking
theyr
bankes
doo
shoote
themselues
ouer
violently
into
the
fields
:
they
say
that
euen
now
through
the
gulling
of
the
water
,
are
discouered
ben●s
like
to
mens
carkasses
,
but
farre
bigger
,
which
for
the
vnmeasurable
hugenesse
of
them
,
are
reported
to
haue
béene
the
bodies
of
that
monstruous
Army
.
And
thys
opinion
is
furthered
with
the
euidence
of
excessyue
great
stones
,
wherewith
heauen
was
thought
to
haue
béene
assaulted
.
I
will
procéede
to
the
residue
which
extende
into
Thessaly
and
Aemony
.
For
they
be
heigher
then
that
in
anie
place
,
the
height
of
the
Mountain
is
able
to
reache
therunt●
.
Neither
is
there
any
thing
in
anie
Land
vnder
Heauen
,
that
may
woorthely
bee
compared
héere●nto
in
height
,
as
wherevnto
only
the
rage
of
water
neuer
attained
when
the
flood
ouerwhelmed
all
thinges
els
with
woozie
moistnesse
.
There
remaine
yet
prints
of
no
small
credite
,
whereby
it
appeareth
that
these
places
were
aboue
the
stormy
flood
.
For
in
the
darke
Caues
of
the
Hilles
,
which
at
that
time
were
eaten
hollow
with
the
strugling
of
the
water
,
the
shelles
of
Fishes
are
left
behinde
,
and
many
other
things
which
are
cast
vppe
by
the
working
of
the
rowgh
Sea
:
so
that
although
(
to
sée
to
)
the
places
bée
mayne
Land
:
yet
they
haue
a
resemblaunce
of
the
Sea
shore
.
Nowe
will
I
speake
of
the
Inhabiters
.
The
descent
of
the
kinges
of
Macedoni
.
Aemathius
who
was
the
first
that
obtained
soueraigntie
in
Amathia
,
(
whither
it
be
because
the
knowledge
of
his
pedegrée
is
worne
out
by
time
,
or
because
it
is
a
matter
farre
fette
)
is
counted
to
bee
bredde
of
the
earth
.
After
him
the
name
of
Aemathia
which
procéeded
from
him
,
continued
to
the
Realme
of
Macedony
.
But
Macedo
the
Nephewe
of
D●ucalion
by
the
Mothers
side
,
(
who
onelie
with
the
familie
of
his
housholde
scaped
from
the
general
destruction
)
chaunged
the
name
,
and
called
it
Macedony
,
after
himselfe
.
After
Macedo
followed
Caranus
Captaine
of
a
companie
of
Peloponesians
:
who
according
to
the
aunswere
gyuen
by
Apollo
,
builded
a
Citty
in
the
same
place
,
where
he
had
séene
a
hearde
of
Goates
sitte
,
and
named
it
[
](A12581-e16510-b)*
*
Which
may
be
interpreted
,
Goteham
.
Aegaea
,
in
which
place
the
custome
was
to
bury
theyr
Kings
:
neyther
was
it
lawfull
among
the
auncient
Macedones
,
to
burie
their
chiefe
states
in
anie
other
place
than
there
.
After
Caranus
succéeded
Perdicas
in
the
two
and
twentith
Olimpiad
,
who
was
the
firste
that
bare
the
name
of
King
:
after
whom
came
Alexander
the
Sonne
of
Amintas
,
King
Alexander
,
a
louer
of
Musick
.
who
was
counted
rich
,
and
not
without
cause
.
For
he
had
so
good
successe
in
encreasing
his
substaunce
,
that
he
first
of
all
men
,
sent
Images
of
cleane
golde
for
a
gyft
,
one
to
Apollo
at
Delphos
,
and
another
to
Iupiter
at
Elis.
He
was
greatlie
giuen
to
delight
hys
hearing
:
insomuch
that
for
hys
pleasures
sake
,
he
entertained
with
honourable
pensions
as
long
as
he
liued
manie
that
were
cunning
vppon
Instruments
,
among
whom
was
Pyndarus
the
Harper
.
From
this
man
Archelaus
receiued
the
kingdome
,
Kinge
Archelaus
a
louer
of
Learning
.
who
was
a
politick
Prince
in
feates
of
warre
,
and
the
firste
deuiser
of
battell
vppon
the
Sea
.
Thys
Archelaus
was
so
great
a
louer
of
learning
,
that
he
made
Euripides
the
Tragicall
Poet
,
one
of
his
priuie
Counsell
.
At
whose
burial
,
he
was
not
content
to
follow
the
Herse
onelie
,
but
also
he
shore
his
hayre
,
and
vttered
in
countenau●ce
the
sorrowe
that
he
conceiued
in
hys
hart
.
The
same
Archelaus
winning
the
wager
in
running
with
Chariots
at
the
gaminges
of
Pythia
and
Olimpus
,
shewed
himselfe
rather
to
haue
the
hart
of
a
glorious
Greeke
then
of
a
royall
King
,
in
séeking
that
kind
of
prayse
.
After
Archelaus
the
state
of
Macedony
béeing
troubled
with
dissention
,
at
last
was
stayed
in
the
raigne
of
Amyntas
,
who
had
thrée
Sons
,
of
whom
Alexander
succéeded
his
Father
:
who
béeing
dispatched
out
of
the
way
,
the
fruition
of
that
great
preheminence
was
first
giuen
to
Perdicas
:
by
whose
decease
the
Kingdome
was
left
by
inheritance
vnto
his
Brother
Philip
,
who
(
as
we
tolde
you
before
)
lost
hys
right
eye
at
Methone
,
of
which
maine
there
had
gone
a
fore
token
before
.
For
at
his
marriage
●easte
it
is
reported
that
the
Musitians
which
serued
that
daie
,
sung
(
as
it
were
in
sport
)
a
song
of
the
one
eyed
Gyants
,
called
Cyclops
.
Thys
Phillip
begat
great
Alexander
,
King
Phillip
howbeit
that
Olympias
Alexanders
Mother
,
coueting
to
purchase
hym
a
nobler
Father
,
auouched
him
to
haue
béene
begotten
by
a
Dragon
.
But
howsoeuer
the
case
stoode
,
Great
Alexande●
Alexander
so
behaued
himselfe
,
that
he
was
beléeued
to
be
the
Sonne
of
a
God
.
He
trauailed
ouer
the
worlde
,
vsing
the
direction
of
Aristotle
and
Callisthenes
.
Hee
conquered
Asia
the
lesse
,
Armeny
,
Iberia
,
Albany
,
Cappadocia
,
Syria
,
and
Aegypt
.
He
passed
ouer
the
Mountaines
Taurus
and
Caucasus
:
He
subdued
the
Bactrians
:
hée
raigned
ouer
the
Medes
and
Persians
:
Hée
wan
Inde
,
and
went
beyond
all
that
Liber
and
Hercules
reached
vnto
.
He
was
of
personage
more
statelie
than
Man
,
with
long
and
straight
necke
,
chéerefull
&
cléere
eyes
,
chéekes
ruddy
with
a
pleasantnesse
,
and
comely
featured
in
all
proportions
of
bodye
,
not
without
a
certaine
maiestie
.
Béeing
conqueror
of
all
men
,
hee
was
hymselfe
a
thrall
to
wyne
and
wrath
.
Through
surfette
of
drunkennesse
he
died
at
Babylon
,
somewhat
after
a
more
base
and
vncomely
sorte
then
he
had
lyued
.
Wée
finde
that
those
that
came
after
him
,
were
borne
rather
to
increase
the
glory
of
the
Romaines
,
then
to
inherite
so
great
renowne

Macedony

The
manners

of
the
auncient

.
which
whosoeuer
will
looke

shall
easily
finde
that
there
is
a
contempt
of
life
in
the
barbarous
Thracians
,
through
a
certaine
discipline
of
moother
wytt
.
They
agrée
all
to
die
willingly
:
some
of
them
beléeuing
that
the
soules
of
them
that
decease
returne
againe
,
and
othersome
thinking
that
they
die
not
,
but
are
in
a
more
happie
and
blisful
state
.
Among
most
of
them
,
the
birth
daies
are
sorrowfull
,
and
contrariwise
the
burialls
are
ioyfull
.
In
somuch
that

fall
a

when
they
Children
are
newe
borne

reioyce
when

doo
glorie
in

of

and
count
it
an

to

as
are
chare
of

,
doo
leape

their
dead
Husbandes
are
burned

(
which
they
thinke
to
be
the
greatest
token
of

that

bee

runne
headlong
into

When

take

restored

The

from
whence
the

goeth
that

Surely

and
it

They
march

And
least
the

driue

they

balace
themselues

Then
they

(
as

He

with
his

rebuketh
their
slothfulnesse

causeth
the

When

When

they

handled

Dolphin
being
cast

was

And

hee
made

beeing
put

first
tyred
the

with

afterward
(
to

pulled
him
downe

those

nothing

they
glister

aboue
the

that
are
in

secondlie
with
the

of

,
they
refresh
the
eyes
that
are
wearyed
with

.
For
they
relieue
and
sharpen
the
sight
that

dymmed

And
there
is
none

cause
why

think

the

albeit
that

They

if
a

may
sée
throgh

if
béeing

that

no

The

.
Of
the
Hyperboreans
they
speake
in
this
wise

They
inhabite
almost
the
Pteropheron
,
which
wee
heare
sa●e
lyeth
beyond
the
North
pole
,
a
most
blessed
Nation
.
They
ascribe
it
rather
vnto
Asia
then
vnto
Europe
,
and
some
doo
place
it
midwaie
betwéene
the
Sunne
rysing
and
the
Sunne
sette
,
that
is
to
wete
,
betwéene
the
West
of
the
Antipodes
,
and
our
Easte
,
which
thing
reason
reprooueth
,
considering
what
a
waste
Sea
runneth
betwéene
the
two
worlds
.
They
are
therefore
in
Europe
,
and
among
them
are
thought
to
be
the
poles
of
the

,
and
the
vttermost
circuit
of

,
and
halfe
yéere

lacking
the

but

Howbeit
,
there
are
that
think
the
Sunne
riseth
not
day
by
daie
to
them
as
it
doth
to

but
that
it
riseth
in
the
springtime
,
&
goeth
not
downe
againe
before
the

so
that

wholesome

are
the
wylde

or
the

,
and
the

foode
from

They
knowe
no

they
are
not
troubled
with

,
all

haue
one
desire
,
which
is
to

innocentlie
.
They
hast
death
,
and
by
wilfull
fordooing
themselues
,
preuent
the
long
taryance
of
their
decease
.
For
when
they
haue
liued
as
long
as
they
wold
desire
,
then
feasting
and
annointing
themselues
,
they
throwe
themselues
headlong
from
some
knowne
Rocke
into
the
déepe
Sea
,
and
they
beléeue
this
to
be
the

of

of
Beastes
notable
for
the
goodlye
spottes
wherewith
their
coates
are
powdred

for
theyr
swiftnes
.
Their
colour
is
a
bright
yellowe

which
béeing
powdred
with
drops
of
black
,
make
a
very
trim
show
by

I
am
not
able
to
say
whither
it
be
their
nimblenesse
or
their
eagernes
that
furthereth
their
swiftnes
.
For
nothing
is
so
long
but
they
passe
it
ouer
in
short
time
:
nothing
is
gone
so
farre
afore
them
but
they
ouertake
it
by
and
by

But
most
of
all
they
show
what
they
are
able
to
doo
,
when
they
haue
littered
,
and
when
they
pursue
them
that
haue
stolne
away

For

yet
if

all

And
it

oftentimes
,
that

againe
:
after
they
haue

they
cast
themselues
headlong

as
it

to
punish
their

that
as

they
hearde

are
not

onely
of

For

they
may
fall

But
the

(
as

kill
them
more
commonly

stéepe

Of
Harts
and
Tragelaph●s

BBefore

steppe
aside
from
Scythia
,
me
thinks
it
a
matter
of
conscience
,
to
passe
ouer
what
beastes
are
peculiar
to
that
Countrey
.
There
is
greate
store
of
Harts
in
this

,
&
therefore
we
wil
treate

Harts
Of

The
male
Déere
of
this
kinde
,
when
rutting
time
comes
,
are
madd
fonde
ouer
the
Hyndes
.
Although
the
Hyndes
bee
bukt
before
,
yet
are
they
not
wyth
fawne
vntill
the
star
Arcturus
ryse
,
neither
doo
they
bring
vp
their
yong
●alues
at
aduenture
.
For
they
hyde
them
very
charily
while
they
be
yong
,
and
beate
them
with
their
féete
to
make
them
lye
still
in
the
thicke
bushes
or
wéedes
where
they
haue
laid
them
.
When
their
strength
will
serue
them
to
followe
about
,
they
teache
them
to
runne
by
exercise
,
and
enure
them
to
leape
through
places
.
When
they
heare
the
opening
of
a
Hound
,
they
flie
with
the
winde
,
that
the
sent
may
goe
away
with
them
.
They
like
well
the
noyse
of
pypes
.
When
their
eares
stande
vp
,
they
heare
verie
lightly
,
and
when
they
bée
down
,
they
heare
nothing
at
all
.
They
gaze
at
al
thinges
,
and
therfore
it
is
an
easie
matter
to
haue
a
shoote
at
them
.
If
they
swymme
ouer
the
Seas
,
they
aime
to
lande
,
not
by
sight
but
by
smelling
.
They
sette
the
weakest

,
and
beare
vp
the
heade●
of
them
that
are
wearie
vpon
theyr
haunches
by

According
to
their

the
tynes
of
their

increase
,
which
multiplying
continueth

For
after

time
,
their
hornes
cannot
increase
in
number
of
tynes
,
but
they
may
bee
thicker
or
broader
palmed
.
If
they
bee

theyr

neuer

neyther
doo
they

There

The

high
about

that

that

it
is
mooued

gouerned

put

the

and
therefore
that
like
as
in

bodies
there
is
an
intercourse
of
the
breath
and
the
soule
,
so
in
the
déepes

there
are

and
where
it

Sea

ryseth
with

Mountains
which
of
their

are
called
Brothers

and
butt
vpon
the

Oliphants
and
of
the
natures
and
properties
of
them

These
Mountaines
are
full
of
Oliphants
.
Thys
kinde
of
beast
putteth
me
in
remembraunce
from
the
beginning
to
intreate
of
them
.
Oliphants
therefore
,
according
to
mans
perceiueraunce
,
haue
vnderstanding
,
and
excell
in
memory
,
and
obserue
the
discipline
of
the
starres
.
When
the
Moone
shineth
bright
,
they
goe
in
heards
to
the
riuers
and
there
hauing
washed
themselues
with
water
they
●alute
the
sunrysing
with
such
gestures
as
they
can
,
and
then
return
againe
into
the
Forrests
.
There
are
two
kindes
of
them
:
the
nobler
sorte
are
knowne
by
theyr
greatnes
,
the
lesser
sort
are
called
bastards
.
By
the
whytenesse
of
their
téeth
it
is
known
that
they
be
yong
:
whereof
the
one
is
euer
occupyed
,
and
the
other
is
spared
,
least
béeing
made
blunt
with
continuall
chaufing
,
it
shoulde
haue
no
force
when
they
haue
néede
of
it
in
fighting
.
When
they
bee
chaced
in
hunting
,
they
breake
them
both
,
to
the
intent
that
when
the
Iuorie
is
gone
,
they
may
be
pursued
no
further
:
for
they
vnderstand
that
that
is
the
cause
of
their
danger
.
They
goe
together
in
heards
.
The
eldest
of
them
leadeth
the
bande
,
and
the
eldest
next
him
followeth
the
trayne
.
When
they
passe
a
Ryuer
,
they
sende
the
smallest
before
,
least
the
treading
of
the
greater
sorte
should
weare
the
channell
,
and
make
déepe
gutts
in
the
Foordes
.
The
Females
goe
not
to
make
before
they
bee
ten
yéeres
olde
,
nor
the
Males
before
they
bee
fiue
.
Two
yéeres
they
giue
themselues
to
generation
,
whereabouts
they
spend
fiue
dayes
in
eche
yéere
&
not
aboue
:
and
they
returne
not
to
the
heard
,
before
such
tyme
as
they
haue
washed
themselues
in
running
water
.
They
neuer
stryue
for
the
Females
:
for
there
is
no
adultery
knowne
among
them
.
They
haue
in
them
the
vertue
of
pittie
.
For
if
they
happen
to
finde
a
man
going
astray
in
the
wildernesse
,
they
guide
him
into
some
beaten
and
knowne
way
.
Or
if
they
méete
wyth
any
Heards
of
Cattell
as
they
are
trauelling
,
themselues
,
they
make
way
gentlie
and
courteously
with
theyr
hand
,
because
they
woulde
not
kill
any
beast
that
meeteth
them
.
But
if
it
so
chaunce
that
they
must
fight
,
they
haue
no
small
regard
of
them
that
be
wounded
:
for
they
receiue
the
wearyed
and
wounded
into
the
middes
of
them
.
When
they
are
taken
and
come
into
mennes
hands
,
they
become
tame
with
drinking
meshes
made
of
Malt.
When
they
shall
passe
the
Seas
,
they
wyll
not
take
shypping
before
it
bee
sworne
to
them
that
they
shall

The
Oliphants
of
Mauritanie
feare
the
Oliphants
of
Inde
,
and
as
though
their
consciences
grudged
at
theyr
owne
●malnesse
,
they
are
afraide
to
come
in
their
sight
.
They
growe
in
their
dams
bellies
,
not
tenne
yéeres
(
as
the
common
reporte
goeth
)
but
two
yéeres
as
Aristotle
determineth
.
And
they
neuer
ingender
but
one
time
,
nor
bring
forth
mo
then
one
at
that
once
.
They
liue
thrée
hundred
yeres
,
but
in
anie
wyse
they
can
not
awaie
with
cold
.
They
eate
the
bodies
of
Trees
,
swallowe
stones
,
and
loue
aboue
all
things
to
feede
of
Dates
.
Most
of
all
things
they
shunne
the
sauour
of
a
Mouse
:
and
they
wyl
not
eate
of
anie
thing
that
Mise
haue
touched
.
If
anie
of
them
by
chance
deuoure
a
Camaeleon
(
which
worme
is
a
poyson
to
Olyphants
)
he
remedieth
the
mischiefe
by
eating
a
wilde
Oliue
.
The
hyde
on
theyr
backs
is
very
hard
,
and
the
skinne
on
their
bellies
is
but
soft
,
and
they
are
altogether
smooth
without
haire
.
Betwéene
them
and
the
Dragons
is
continuall
enmitie
,
and
the
ambush
is
laide
for
them
in
this
wilie
sorte
.
The
Serpents
lurke
by
the
waie
sides
,
where
the
Olyphants
vse
to
goe
customablie
:
and
letting
the
formoste
slippe
by
,
they
assaile
the
hindermost
,
to
the
intent
the
first
should
not
be
able
to
rescue
the
last
,
and
first
they
wrythe
their
tailes
in
knottes
about
theyr
féete
,
that
hauing
snarled
their
legges
,
they
may
staie
them
from
going
awaie
.
For
the
Oliphants
if
they
be
not
preuented
and
staied
by
this
winding
about
their
féte
,
doo
leane
themselues
to
trées
or
stones
,
and
there
with
enforcing
themselues
,
treade
the
Dragons
to
drath
.
The
chiefe
cause
of
their
fighting
is
(
as
men
saie
)
for
that
Olyphants
haue
great
store
of
blood
,
which
is
colder
then
the
blood
of
other
beastes
,
and
therefore
the
Dragons
doo
vnsatiatiably
desire
it
in
the
excesse
of
heate
.
Finallie
,
they
neuer
sette
vpon
them
,
but
when
they
haue
drunk
theyr
bellies
full
,
to
the
intent
when
their
vaynes
be
well
stuffed
with
moysture
,
they
may
suck
the
more
out
of
them
when
they
haue
ouercom
them
.
They
séeke
nothing
so
much
as
the
eyes
of
them
,
which
alonelie
they
know
may
be
perished
:
or
els
the
inner
parts
of
their
eares
,
because
that
part
cannot
be
defended
with
their
snow●e
.
But
when
the
Dragons
haue
sucked
out
their
bloode
,
they
themselues
are
also
ouerwhelmed
with
the
fall
of
the
beaste
:
and
so
the
bloode
that
is
shedde
from
them
both
soketh
into
the
ground
,
and
all
the
earth
that
is
stéeped
therewith
,
becommeth
a
vernish
to
paint
withall
,
called
Cinnabar
.
The
firste
time
that

,
was

against

and
because
they
were

they
called

Oxen

The
Inhabiters
heereof
,
as
long
as
they
straied
abroade
in
grazing
like
wanderers
,
were
called
[

*
That
is
to
say
.
Grazyers
.
Nomades
.
In
it
are
many
noble
Cittyes
,
but
Cirta
excelleth
them
all
,
and
next
Culloo
,
comparable
to
Tyre
in
dying
Purple
.
All
this
Region
bordereth
wholie
vpon
the
marches
of
Zeugitane
.
In
such
part
of
it
as
is
wooddie
,
it
nourisheth
wilde
Beasts
,
where
it
is
high
ground
,
it
bréedeth
Horses
,
also
it
is
commended
for
the
excellent
Marble
that
it
hath
.
The
Beares
of
Numidie
excell
all
other
Beares
onely
in
fiercenes
and
déepe
hayre
,
Of
the
nature
and
property
of
Beares
.
for
the
littering
of
them
is
like
in
all
places
,
wheresoeuer
they
be
bred
.
I
will
speake
therof
by
and
by
.
They
couple
not
in
like
sort
as
other
foure
footed
beastes
doo
:
but
inasmuch
as
they
are
formed
apt
to
embracinges
,
they
couple
together
as
man
and
woman
do
.
Winter
stirreth
vp
their
desire
of
generation
.
The
Males
seuering
themselues
for
the
tyme
,
doo
reuerence
the
Females
when
they
are
bagged
,
and
although
they
lie
all
in
one
den
,
yet
they
lie
seuerallye
by
themselues
in
couches
deuided
one
from
an
other
with
diches
.
The
time
of
their
whelping
is
very
swift
for
they
goe
not
past
thirtie
daies
,
whereby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
their
ouerhastie
littering
maketh
them
bring
forth
deformed
whelps
.
The
things
that
they
bring
forth
are
little
lumps
of
flesh
,
of
colour
white
,
without
eyes
.
And
(
by
reason
of
the
hastie
comming
foorth
before
it
be
ripe
)
it
is
nothing
but
a
shapelesse
matter
,
sauing
that
it
hath
the
proportion
of
nayles
.
These
they
fashion
by
little
and
little
with
licking
,
and
sometimes
they
cherrish
them
by
laying
their
warme
breastes
to
them
,
to
the
intent
that
through
the
heate
of
their
continuall
rucking
vppon
them
,
they
may
gather
the
breath
of
lyfe
.
All
that
while
they
fast
.
Surelie
for
the
first
fouretéene
daies
,
the
dammes
fall
into
so
heauie
a
sléepe
,
that
they
cannot
be
waked
with
woundes
.
After
they
haue
whelped
,
they
kéepe
home
by
the
space
of
foure
months
together
.
Afterward
when
they
goe
abroade
into
the
open
daie
,
they
can
so
ill
awaie
with
the
vnaccustomed
light
,
that
a
man
would
think
they
were
blinded
.
Beares
haue
weake
heades
,
and
their
greatest
strength
is
in
their
fore
pawes
,
and
in
their
loynes
,
wherby
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
sometimes
they
will
stande
vpright
vppon
their
hinder
féete
.
They
lye
in
waite
for
Béehiues
,
lusting
greatlie
for
the
Combes
,
and
they
snatch
at
nothing
more
gréedilie
then
at
honnie
.
If
they
taste
of
the
Apples
of
Mandrake
they
die
.
Neuerthelesse
,
they
preuent
the
mischiefe
before
it
growe
too
strong
,
and
deuoure
Ants
to
recouer
theyr
health
.
If
at
anie
time
they
sette
vppon
Bulles
,
they
knowe
vppon
what
parts
it
is
best
for
them
to
catche
holde
:
and
therefore
they
catch
at
no
parte
,
but
their
hornes
and
theyr
nostrils
:
their
hornes
to
the
intent
to
weigh
them
downe
,
theyr
nostrilles
to
the

to
put

to
greater

were
founders
of
Adrymet
and
Carthage
.
But
now
wyll
I
declare
what
true
bookes
haue
reported
of
Carthage
.
Carthage
This
Cittie
(
as
Cato
in
his
Oration
before
the
Senate
,
affirmeth
)
was
builded
at
such
time
as
Hiarbas
raigned
in
Lybia
.
Elyssa
a
Lady
of
the
Country
Phaenicia
,
who
called
it
Carthad
,
which
in
the
Phaenician
tongue
,
is
as
much
to
say
as
a
newe
Cittie
.
Anon
after
as
theyr
spéeche
turned
into
Punicke
,
both
she
was
called
Elissa
&
the
Cittie
Ca●thage
:
which
was
vtterly
rased
seauen
hundred
thirty
and
seauen
yéeres
after
it
was
builded
.
Within
a
while
after
,
being
repayred
againe
by
Caius
Gracchus
,
and
peopled
wyth
Italians
,
it
was
named
by
him
Iunonia
,
and
continued
for
a
certain
time
without
estimation
,
in
a
low
and
faint
state
.
At
length
after
a
hundred
and
two
yéeres
respit
,
in
the
time
that
Marcus
Antonius
and
Publius
Dolobella
were
Cons●lls
,
it
reco●ered
the
honour
to
be
called
the
second
Carthage
,
the
second
bea●tie
of
the
whole
world
next
Rome
.
But
to
the
intent
to
returne
againe
to
*
Affrick
,
it
is
an
Angle
seuerally
enclosed
by
it selfe
.
The
inner
partes
thereof
are
possessed
with
manie
kyndes
of
wylde
beasts
,
but
speciallie
with
Lions
,
Of
Lyons
,
and
of
the
noble
nature
and
properties
of
them
which
alonely
of
the
kind
of
beastes
that
men
call
toothed
beastes
,
with
they
(
as
Aristotle
affyrmeth
)
doo
sée
as
soone
as
they
bee
whelped
.
Of
them
there
is
reckoned
thrée
sortes
.
For
the
shorter
sort
with
curled
manes
,
are
for
the
moste
part
weake
and
cowardlie
.
The
longer
sorte
with
smooth
hayre
,
are
more
fierce
and
strong
.
But
those
that
the
Lybards
begette
,
are
of
the
rascallest
sort
,
and
haue
no
manes
at
all
.
All
of
them
alike
forbeare
gorging
of
themselues
:
firste
for
that
one
day
they
féede
,
and
another
day
they
drink
by
turnes
,
and
oftentimes
,
if
they
haue
not
good
digestion
,
they
forbeare
meate
a
day
longer
:
and
secondly
for
that
if
they
féele
themselues
gréeued
with
rauening
too
much
flesh
,
they
put
their
pawes
into
theyr
mouthes
,
and
pull
it
out
againe
.
And
euen
the
like
also
doo
they
when
they
flée
,
if
they
bée
to
full
.
The
falling
away
of
their
téeth
,
argueth
age
.
And
there
bee
many
proofes
of
theyr
pittifulnesse
.
For
they
spare
them
that
humble
themselues
before
them
:
and
shewe
theyr
crueltie
rather
against
men
then
women
.
As
for
sucking
Children
they
kyll
them
not
,
vnlesse
it
be
for
extreame
hungar
.
Neyther
are
they
without
mercie
.
For
by
dailie
examples
from
time
to
time
it
is
manifest
that
they
haue
shewed
mercy
inasmuch
as
manie
prisoners
méeting
with
some
Lyons
by
the
way
,
haue
notwithstanding
returned
vntouched
into
theyr
Countryes
.
And
in
the
Bookes
of
King
Iuba
is
recorded
the
name
of
a
Woman
of
Getulia
,
who
by
entretaunce
escaped
vnhurt
from
the
Lyons
that
she
mette
.
They
engender
backwarde
:
and
not
they
onely
,

also
Lynxes
,
Camels
,
Oliphants
,
Rhynocerots
,
and
Tygers
.
The
Lyonesses
at
the
firste
lytter
bring
forth
fiue
Whelps
,
and
euery
yéere
after
they
diminish
their
number
by
one
,
and
at
the
length
when
the
dammes
come
to
bringing
forth
but
one
at
once
,
they
become
barraine
for
euer
.
The
looke
and
the
taile
declare
the
courage
of
the
Lyons
,
like
as
the
stomacke
of
a
horse
is
knowne
by
hys
eares
.
For
nature
hath
gyuen
these
two
markes
to
euerie
notable
beaste
to
be
knowne
by
.
Their
chiefest
force
is
in
their
brest
,
and
their
chiefest
stedinesse
is
in
their
heades
.
When
they
be
chaced
with
dogs
,
they
goe
away
disdainfully
,
and
now
and
then
staying
,
dissemble
theyr
force
wyth
pretence
as
though
they
cared
not
whither
they
went
away
or
no
:
and
this
they
doo
when
they
be
followed
in
open
and
champion
fields
.
But
in
woody
places
(
as
though
they
thought
no
body
were
able
to
beare
wytnesse
of
their
cowardlinesse
)
they
runne
away
as
fast
as
theyr
legs
can
beare
them
.
When
they
themselues
pur●ue
any
thing
,
they
further
their
pace
with
leapping
.
When
they
goe
at
leysure
,
they
hyde
the
hookes
of
their
talants
betwéene
the
fleshe
of
their
toes
,
as
it
were
in
sheathes
.
And
this
they
obserue
so
warelye
,
that
they
runne
not
but
wyth
their
talants
turned
inward
.
When
they
are
enuironed
and
beset
with
hunters
,
they
looke
stedfastlie
vpon
the
ground
,
to
the
intent
they
will
not
be
made
afraid
with
the
sight
of
the
hunting
staues
.
They
neuer
looke
a
squint
,
neyther
can
they
abide
that
one
shoulde
looke
a
squint
vppon
them
.
They
feare
the
crowing
of
a
Cock
,
and
the
ratling
of
whéeles
,
but
most
of
all
they
feare
fire
.
The
beast
called
Lyons-bane
.
Wee
reade
that
there
are
little
beasts
called
Lyonsbanes
,
which
are
caught
and
vncased
,
to
the
intent
that
flesh
béeing
powdred
with
the
ashes
of
them
,
and
caste
in
the
pathes
where
wayes
méete
,
may
kill
the
Lyons
,
if
they
taste
neuer
so
little
thereof
.
And
therefore
Lyons
pursue
them
with
a
naturall
hatred
,
&
when
they
get
them
at
aduauntage
,
they
forbeare
byting
of
them
but
they
teare
them
all
to
péeces
with
theyr
pawes
.
Scaeuola
the
Sonne
of
Publius
was
the
first
that
made
a
showe
of
them
,
in
the
time
that
he
was
Curulis
Acdilis
.
Affrick
bréedeth
the
Hyene
,
The
Hyene
,
and
of
hys
wonderfull
nature
.
which
beast
cannot
wrythe
his
necke
a
side
,
vnlesse
h●e
mooue
his
whole
bodie
,
because
his
backbone
is
without
ioyntes
,
and
runneth
so
whole
through
his
necke
.
Many
wondrous
things
are
reported
of
it
.
Firste
that
it
haunteth
shepheards
cotages
,
and
by
continuall
harkning
,
learneth
some
name
,
the
which
he
expresseth
by
counterfeyting
mans
voyce
,
to
the
intent
to
worke
his
wrath
vppon
the
man
whom
he
tolleth
out
by
his
policie
in
the
night
time
.
Also
he
counterfetteth
the
vomiting
of
men
,
and
thereby
alluring
out
the
dogs
with
his
false
sobbing
,
deuoureth
them
.
Which
dogs
if
perchance
they
touche
his
shaddowe
in
hunting
of
him
,
they
loose
their
voice
,
and
cannot
barke
.
The
same
Hyene
in
séeking
mens
carkasses
,
scrapeth
vpp
theyr
graues
:
and
therefore
it
is
the
easier
matter
to
take
the
Males
.
For
the
Females
are
of
nature
more
subtill
.
There
is
great
varietie
in
their
eyes
,
and
chaungablenes
of
colours
,
and
in
the
balles
of
them
is
founde
a
stone
called
Hyenie
,
endued
with
such
power
,
The
stone
●alled
Hyeuie
.
that
vnder
what
mans
tongue
soeuer
it
be
put
,
he
shall
prophesie
of
thinges
to
come
.
But
what
lyuing
thing
soeuer
a
Hyene
compasseth
in
thrice
about
,
cannot
moue
it selfe
:
and
therfore
it
hath
béene
auouched
for
a
certaintie
,
that
there
is
a
magicall
power
in
him
.
In
a
parte
of
Aethyop
it
coupleth
with
a
Lyonesse
,
and
betwéene
them
is
engendred
a
Monster
named
a
Crocute
.
A
Crocute
Which
in
likenesse
also
counterfetteth
the
spéech
of
man
.
He
neuer
stirreth
the
balles
of
his
eyes
,
but
star●th
continually
without
twinckling
.
He
hath
no
gummes
at
all
in
hys
mouth
,
but
one
whole
and
maine
tooth
,
which
is
naturally
closed
vpp
as
it
were
in
Caskets
,
because
it
should
not
be
blunted
.
Among
those
kinds
of
beasts
that
are
called
Grazers
,
the
same
Affrick
hath
wyld
Asses
,
in
which
kind
euery
Male
hath
his
heard
of
Females
.
Wyld
Asses
.
They
cannot
abyde
that
any
other
shoulde
haue
to
doo
where
they
like
.
And
therefore
they
wait
very
narrowly
vppon
their
Mares
when
they
be
with
foale
,
that
(
if
it
bee
possible
they
may
byte
of
the
genetoryes
from
the
Colts
when
they
be
new
foaled
:
to
the
end
they
be
not
apt
for
generation
.
Whereof
the
Mares
béeing
ware
,
hyde
their
young
ones
out
of
the
way
.
Serpents
Affrick
swarmeth
in
such
wise
with
Serpents
,
that
it
may
worthelie
challenge
the
preheminence
in
that
mischiefe
from
all
the
worlde
.
The
Caerasts
péere
with
foure
little
hornes
,
The
Cerast
or
Horneworme
by
shewing
whereof
(
as
it
were
wyth
a
bayse
)
they
allure
birds
to
them
,
and
deuoure
them
.
For
they
hide
the
rest
of
their
bodyes
for
the
nonce
in
the
sand
,
discouering
no
part
of
themselues
sauing
that
onely
part
wherwith
they
entice
the
birds
deceitfully
to
féeding
,
The
Amphisbene
or
double●eade
.
when
they
lie
in
wait
to
kill
them
for
theyr
labor
.
The
Amphisbene
riseth
with
two
heads
wherof
one
is
in
his
accustomed
place
,
and
the
other
where
his
taile
should
bee

Wherevpon
it
commeth
to

,
that
with

The

The

Notwithstanding

For

As
concerning
the
precious
stone
called
Helitrope
,
The
stone
Helytrope
or
Turn
stone
.
there
hath
béene
contention
betwéene
Aethyop
,
Affrick
,
&
Cyprus
,
which
of
them
should
yéelde
the
excellentest
of
that
kynd
:
and
it
is
founde
by
mani●
trayals
,
that
the
stone
of
Aethiop
or
of
Libie
hath
the
prerogatiue
.
It
is
of
a
gréene
colour
not
altogether
verye
fresh
,
but
somewhat
more
clowdie
and
déepe
,
powdred
aboue
with

The
st●ne
taketh
hys
name

.
Béeing
cast
into
a
brasse
panne
,
it
altereth
the
colour
of
the
Sunne
beames
,
making
them
to
haue
a
bloody
reflexion
:
and
it
casteth
the
glymering
brightnesse
of
the
ayre
out
of
the
water
,
and
turneth
it
aside
.
Moreouer
it
is
reported
to
haue
this
vertue
,
that
beeing
mingled
wyth
the
herbe
of
the
same
name
,
and
consecrated
before
with
the
accustomable
enchantments
,
it
maketh
the

They

though

yet
must
they
direct
theyr
course
by
the
starres
,
otherwise
they
shall
neuer
come

the
place
appointed
.
For
the
ground
is
so
rotten
,
that
the
aire
altereth
the
vpper
part
therof
,
and
if
there
whiske
neuer

the
blaste
thereof
maketh
such
an
alteration
,
that
it
leaueth
no

For

euermore
turneth

And
the

Neyther

Wee

Meninx

In

the
Ile

Caius
Marius
hid
himself
after

came
out

Fennes
of

The
Psylls
Beyonde
the
Garamants
were
the
Psylls
,
forti●●ed
with
a
wonderfull
strength
of
body
against
hurtfull
poyson
.
They
onelie
dyed
not
of
the
byting
of
Snakes
:
and
although
they
were
stunge
with
their
deadly
tongues
,
yet
they
continued
in
vnappayred
health
.
Yea
they
layde
theyr
newe
borne
babes
to
Serpents
,
and
if
they
were
misbegotten
,
the
adulterie
of
the
Mothers
was
punished
wyth
the
destruction
of
the
Children
.
But
if
they
were
right
begotten
,
the
priuiledge
of
theyr
fathers
bloode
saued
the
innocent
babes
from
death
.
Thus
they
put
the
assurance
of
theyr
issue
to
the
triall
of
poyson
.
But
the
Nasamons
conquered
this
country
,
and
destroyed
it

insomuch
that
now●

For

It

Almost

The

The

Aethiop
bréedeth
y●
Lycaon
,
which
is
a
woolfe
with
a
mane
on
his
necke
,
&
so
pied
,
that
men
say
there
is
no

,
but
he
hath

It
bréedeth

the

of
the

of
an

clouen

hornes
,
headed
like

,
coloured
like

The

It
is
saide
that
thys
Tarand
changeth
his
complexion
for
feare
,
and
that
when
he
hideth
himself
,
he
becommeth
like
vnto
the
thing
that
he
is
next
vnto
,
whither
it
be
a

or

But
the
Polypus
and
the
Chameleon
haue
a
sheere
skinne
,
and
therefore
it
is
the
easier
for
them
to
resemble
things
next
vnto
them
,
because
of
theyr
thin
smug
skynnes
,
which
are

But
it
is
a

The

It
is
a
peculiar
propertie
to
the
Wolues
of
Aethyop
,
to
be
as
nimble
in
leaping
,
as
a

so
as
they
ridde
not

then
by

yet
they

In

Of

but
this

hath

That

slenderest

counted
the

and
that
that

is
nothing

But
it
is
gathered
by
the

who
make

Which

they

that
they

nor
continue

after

He
that

Primate
among
them

deuideth
the
heapes
of
sticks
wyth
a

,
which
is
consecrated
to
the

And
so
a

of

For

This

And
for

because

wyll
abide
no

yet
is
it
not

for
with

a

may
write

Crysolamp

and
drawe
what

Where
as

there

the
Chrysolamp
,
which

the

The

For

diuersitie
is
in
him
that
in

he
is

and
in

is

Out

we

a

and
it

almost
vnknowne
where
the

It
hath
hys
beginning
from
a
Mountaine
of
the

Mauritanie
,
that
is
n●ere

Thus
affirme
the
Punick
bookes
,
and
so
reported
King
Iuba
as
I
vnderstand

By

therefore
it
maketh
a
Lake

they

Nilides

And
it

coniectured

the

But
the

when

out

is
sucked
into

hydden
in

bursting

hee

,
bringeth
the

with

which
we
noted
in

Afterward
hee
sinketh
downe
againe

venteth
not
aboue
the

,
till
after
a
long
weary
iourney

it

It

whereof

séeme

rather
then
to
flow

and
at

when
he
hath
passed
the
last
leape
(
for
so
the
Egyptians
call
certaine
straights
of
hys
)
there
is
no

Then
leauing
the
name
of
Syris
behinde
him
,
he
runneth
from
thenceforth
playne
wythout

Lastly
he
is
deuided
into

turning

Such

Astronomie

haue
aledged
manie
causes
of
his
increase
.
Some
affyrme
that
the
East
wyndes
called
Etesiae
,
do
driue
great
store
of
clowdes
to
the
place
where
the
Ryuer
springeth
,
and
that
the
spring
rysing
by
the
moysture
comming
from
aboue
,
afoordeth
so
much
water
to
the
flowing
of
the
Riuer
as
the
clowdes
haue
let
fal
moysture
to
the
féeding
of
the
spring
.
Othersome
reporte
,
that
béeing
driuen
backe
by
the
violence
of
wyndes
,
when
hee
cannot
vtter
his
waues
,
which
kéepe
their
accustomed
swiftnesse
,
the
water
béeing
pent
in
the
straight
ouerfloweth
his
banckes
,
and
the
more
the
blasts
of
the
contrarie
wynds
resist
,
so
much
the
higher
dooth
the
swift
Riuer
(
being
beaten
backe
)
mount
aloft
,
because
that
neyther
the
accustomed
course
can
emptie
the
channel
,
and
yet
the
weyght
of
the
streame
commeth
on
still
from
the
head
of
the
spring
vpon
the
Ryuer
which
is
dammed
vp
:
And
that
thus
by
the
agréeable
violence
of
the
Element
on
the
oneside
stryuing
forward
,
and
on
the
otherside
beating
backward
,
the
waues
swell
,
and
gather
into
a
heape
,
whereby
is
made
the
floodde
.
Diuers
hold
opinion
,
that
this
spring
which
is
called
Phiala
,
is
raysed
by
the
influence
of
the
stars
,
and
that
béeing
haled
out
by
the
Sunne
beames
,
it
is
heaued
vpp
by
the
celestiall
fire
,
but
not
wythout
a
sure
and
orderly
custome
,
that
is
to
say
,
at
the
newe
of
the
Moone
,
howbeit
that
the
Sunne
is
the
verye
grounde
of
hys
excesse
.
For
the
first
rysing
and
swelling
thereof
beginneth
when
the
Sunne
mooueth
through
the
signe
of
Cancer
:
and
afterwarde
,
when
the
thir●y
partes
thereof
are
runne
out
,
so
as
the
Sunne
is
entred
into
Leo
,
and
the
starre
called
Sirius
ryseth
:
then
the
Riuer
flushing
forth
wyth
so
great
a
violence
,
breaketh
ouer
his
bancks
:
which
time
the
Priests
iudged
to
be
the
byrth
day
of
the
worlde
,
that
is
to
wéete
betwéene
the
[

*
The
nineteenth
day
of
Iuly
.
thirtéenth
of
the
Calends
of
August
,
and
the
eleuenth
day
of
August
,
and
that
afterward
all
the
excesse
is
called
back
againe
,
when
the
Sunne
passeth
into
Virgo
,
and
is
driuen
cleane
againe
within
hys
banks
,
when
the
Sunne
is
entred
into
Libra
.
They
adde
this
moreouer
,
that
he
hurteth
both
wayes
,
whether
he
swell
too
high
or
too
lowe
,
forasmuch
as
hys
scantnes
bringeth
small
store
of
increase
,
and
his
ouer
great
aboundance
hindreth
the
tyllage
by
to
long
continuance
of
moistnes
.
They
say
that
his
greatest
excesse
riseth
to
eightéene
cubits
,
and
his
measurablest
to
sixtéene
:
and
that
at
fiftéene
wanteth
no
store
of
fruite
.
But
if
it
be
vnder
,
it
causeth
derth
.
They
attribute
also
this
maiestie
vnto
him
,
that
hee
shoulde
foreshewe
thinges
to
come
:
grounding
their
argument
héerevppon
,
that
at
the
battell
of
Pharsalie
,
it
excéeded
not
fyue
fathome
.
This
is
most
certaine
,
that
hee
onely
of
all
Riuers
breatheth
forth
no
ayres
.
It
beginneth
to
appertaine
to
the
Realme
of
Egypt
from
Syene
,
wherein
is
the
vttermost
bounde
of
Aethyop
,
&
so
from
thence
vntill
it
fal
into
the
Sea
,
it
keepeth
the
name
of
Nyle
.
Among
all
the
thinges
that
Egypt
hath
woorthye
to
be
spoken
of
,
they
make
a
wonder
specially
of
the
Oxe
which
they
call
Apis.
Him
they
worshyppe
as
a
God
,
Apis
the
God
of
Egypt
.
and
hee
is
notable
for
the
whyte
specke
which
groweth
naturally
on
hys
right
side
,
representing
the
likenesse
of
the
horned
Moone
.
The
time
is
appointed
howe
long
hee
shall
liue
,
which
beeing
expyred
,
hée
is
drowned
in
the
bottome
of
a
holy
Well
,
because
hee
shoulde
not
liue
any
longer
then
is
lawfull
for
him
.
By
and
by
not
wythout
solemne
mourning
of
all
the
whole
Realme
another
is
sought
.
Assoone
as
he
is
founde
,
a
hundred
Priestes
wayte
vpon
him
to
Memphis
,
to
the
intent
that
taking
orders
there
,
he
may
begin
to
become
holye
.
The
Temples
into
which
he
entereth
or
where
he
resteth
,
they
misticallie
name
bryde
Chambers
.
Hee
giueth
manifest
foretokens
of
things
to
come
:
See
howe
the
deuil
can
delude
Idolaters
by
false
Miracles
.
and
that
inespecially
if
he
take
meate
of
their
handes
that
come
to
aske
counsel
.
By
refusing
Germanicus●
Caesars
hande
,
hee
bewrayed
that
which
hung
ouer
his
head
,
for
it
was
not
long
after
,
but
Caesar
was
dispatched
of
his
life
.
The
boyes
followe
flocking
after
Apis
,
and
suddainly
,
as
though
they
were
mooued
with
some
spirit
,
they
tell
of
things
to
come
.
Once
in
a
yéere
a
Cowe
is
shewed

,
and
shée
also
is
not
without
certaine
marks
,
the
which
is
kylled
the
same
day
that
she
is
found
,
assoone
as
she
hath
béene
shewed
to
him

The
people
of
Memphis
solemnize
the
byrth
day
of
Apis
,
by
casting
a
cup
of
golde
into
Nyle
.
This
solemnitie
is
helde
seauen
dayes
together

during
which
time
the
Crocodyles
kéepe
as
it
were
a
truce

not

But
the

,
when

For

he
groweth
to
the

of

and
they
lay
Egs
like

Hee
chooseth
a

to

A

reboundeth

of
Dolphins

The

Moreouer
in
a
certaine
Iland
of
Nyle
,
there
dwell
men
of
a
very
low
stature
,
but
of
such
a
boldnesse
,
that
they
offer
to
méete
the
Crocodyles
,
for
these
Monsters
pursue
them
that
flée
from

,
and
flée
from
them

follow
them
.
Therfore
are
they
caught
,

béeing
made
tame
become
slaues
in
their
owne
waters
,
and
when
they
be
throughlye
brought
in
awe
,
they
are
so
obedient
for
feare
,
that
for
getting
their
wildnesse
,
they
carry
theyr
Maisters
ryding
on
their
backs
.
As
soone
therefore
as
they
escrye
this
Iland
or
this
nation
by

,
they
flée
far

In
the
water
they
are
dull
of
sight
,
and
on
the

most
sharpe

.
All
the
Winter
long
they
eate
no

:
but
from
the
beginning
of
the
short
dayes
,
they
continue
fasting
by

space
of
foure
Monethes
together

Ther

Skinks
which
are
like
Crocodiles

Skinks

That

yee
may

that

that
Countrey
onely
and
none

,
yéeldest

Frankencence

and
yet
not

neither
.
For
in
the
mids
of
it
are
the
Atranits
a
shiere
of
the
Sabaeans
,
Of
Frankencence
.
from
whence
about
eight
remoouings
of
,
is
the
Countrey
that
beareth
the
Frankencence
.
It
is
called
Arabie
,
that
is
to
say
holy
,
for
so
the
name
signifieth
by
interpretation
.
What
the
worde
Arabie
signifieth
.
These
low
trees
are
not
common
:
but
(
which
is
a
strange
thing
among
barbarous
nations
)
they
goe
by
right
of
inheritaunce
in
the
succession
of
certaine
Families
.
And
therefore
those
that
haue
the
possession
of
thys
groue
,
are
called
in
the
Arabian
tongue
holy
.
The
same
persons
also
at
such
time
as
they
doo
eyther
crop
or
fell●these
groues
,
come
not
nigh
any
coarse
,
nor
defile
themselues
wyth
the
companie
of
women
.
Before
the
trueth
of
the
matter
was
certainlie
knowne
,
some
likened
thys
trée
to
the
Mastick
Trée
,
and
some
to
the
Turpentine
Trée
,
vntill
such
time
as
by
the
Bookes
of
King
Iuba
,
wrytten
to
Caesar
the
Sonne
of
Augustus
,
it
was
plainlie
declared
,
that
it
was
a
Trée
wyth
a
crooked
stock
,
and
boughes
like
a
Maple
,
yéelding
a
iuyce
like
the
Almond
Trée
,
and
that
it
is
wont
to
be
cutte
in
the
beginning
of
the
Dogdaies
,
when
the
Sunne
burneth
hotest
.
In
the
same
lands
groweth
also
Myrrhe
:
Myrrhe
.
the
rootes
wher
of
doo
thriue
with
dyging
,
and
delight
to
bee
proyned
:
and
when
they
be
layd
bare
,
they
yéelde
the
fatter
gum
.
The
iuyce
that
issueth
of
his
owne
accord
is
the
more
precious
:
and
that
which
is
drayned
forth
by
slitting
the
barke
,
is
counted
the
worser
.
The
barke
wyndeth
rounde
like
a
whirlepoole
,
and
is
full
of
rough
pricks
:
the
leafe
is
like
an
Olife
,
sauing
that
it
is
somewhat
more
rough
.
The
vttermost
height
that
it
groweth
vnto
,
is
fiue
Cubits
.
The
Arabians
make
fire
wyth
the
shreddes
of
it
:
the
fume
whereof
is
so
noysome
,
that
if
they
preuented
not
the
mischiefe
with
the
sent
of
burnt
Storax
,
diuers
times
they
shoulde
catch
vncurable
diseases
.
Among
the
same
people
bréedeth
the
byrd
called
the
Phaenix
,
The
Phaenix
of
the
bignesse
of
an
Eagle
,
his
head
garnished
with
a
plume
of
feathers
sticking
vppe
like
a
crest
,
with
tufted
chéekes
,
and
with
a
ring
about
his
necke
,
shyning
like
gold
.
All
his
hinder
part
is
purple
,
sauing
his
trayne
,
the
feathers
whereof
are
of
a
rose
colour
,
medled
with
a
bright
Azure
.
It
is
prooued
that
he
lyueth
fiue
hundred
and
fortye
yéeres
.
Hée
maketh
hys
herse
of
Cynnamom
,
which
he
trimmeth
néere
vnto
Panchaia
,
bringing
his
pyle
of
sticks
into
the
Cittie
of
the
Sunne
,
Hel●opolis
.
What
a
great
yeere
is
.
and
there
laying
it
vppon
the
Altar
:
It
is
a
matter
of
doubtfull
credite
among
Authors
,
whither
a
great
yéere
be
accomplished
with
the
life
of
this
yéere
or
no.
The
most
part
of
them
affyrme
,
that
a
great
yéere
consisteth
not
of
fiue
hundred
and
fortie
,
but
of
twelue
thousand
,
nine
hundred
fiftie
and
foure
of
our
yéeres
.
Finally
,
when
Quintus
Plautius
,
and
Sext●●
Papinius
were
Consuls
,
the
Phaenix
●lewe
into
Egypt
,
and
béeing
taken

hundreth

maketh

because
there
is
no

by
reason
of
the
height
of

,

of

,
the

throwe

Snakes

They
haue
neither

nor

,
and
therfore
they
are
named
Ophiophags
.
From
the
Seacoast
of
thys
Countrey
was
brought
vnto
King
Polycrates
,
a
precious
stone
called
a
Sardonix
,
which

vppe

Snakeaters

But
the
Sardonix
Sardonix

is
so
well
knowne
of
all
men
,
that
I
thinke
not
méete
to
make
long
processe
about
it
.
The
vpperpart
thereof
is
allowable
if
it
be
a
shéere
red
:
but
it
is
reprooued
if
it
be
thicke
like
dregges

The
mids

it
is
girded
wyth
a
whytish
circle
,
the
grace
whereof
is
if
it
neither
shed
his
colour
into
the
next
,
nor
he
himselfe
borrow
of
the
other
.
The
rest
of
him
is
finished
with
a
black
,
which
(
if
it
giue
a
light
through
it
,
)
is
counted
a
fault
:
but
if
it
let
from

it
giueth
it
the
greater
grace
.
The

Hee
findeth
likewise
the

cornered

The
Iris

Rainbow
stone

casteth
out

a
bryght
reflexion

gather
the

The

or
Male
Diamond
with
sides
equallie
square
,
which
yée
would
thinke
to
haue
borowed
somewhat
of

It
is

that

that

asswageth
the

A

lyeth
a

which

striken

appeareth
by

There

they

no

there
wanteth
no

The

is
deputed

Thus

And
therefore
to

the

Anon

It

It

They

who
is
counted
auncienter
then
Iupiter

Some

left

that
this

othersome
say
it
is
deriued
out

:
Choaspes

the

Choaspis
is

that
as

,
the

of

reserued
it
only
for
their

:
and
when
they
should
go
a
progresse
any
whither
,
they
carryed

Of
such

therefore
doth
Cydnus

the

I

haue

that

theyr
former
Keepers
whom
they
dyd
caste
a
loue
vnto
,
they
starue
themselues
for

These
conditions
are

for

Of

that

By

in
that
there
is
no

serue

double

For
some
bee
good
for

some
are
light

swyft

But
neither
wyll
those
receiue
more
then
a
reasonable
burthen
,
nor
these
goe
aboue
their
ordinarie
pace

For
desire
of

they
become
madd
,
in
so
much
as
they
are
outragious
cruell
when

woulde
goe

They
hate
horses

they

forbeare

foure
dayes

But
when
the
time
serues
that

they
hale
in

wyll
bothe
staunche
the
drought
that
is

and
moyst
them
for
the
thirst
that
is
long
to

They
couet
soyled

and
refuse
the

And
if
it
bee
not
muddie
of
it selfe
,
they
will
rayse
vppe

They

it

so

And
for

they
make

it

In

The

somewhat

which
is
very

is
gathered

mines
,
of
weightier
substance

,
but
not

For
bothe
this
and
that
which
is
founde
in
Copper
may
be
broken
,
and
for
the
most

they
are
peirced

Of

Taprobane

what

:
what
is
the
custome
of
that
Countrey
in

VNtil
such
time
as
the
rashnes
of
man
serching
the
Sea
throughlye
found
the
trueth
of
the
matter
,
The
first
discouerers
of
the
Ile
of
Taprobane
now
called
Zeilan
,
menne
thought
a
great
while
,
that
the
Ile
of
Taprobane
had
béene
another
world
,
and
the
very
same
which
the
Anticthones
were
beléeued
to

But
the
valiantnes
of
great
Alexander
,
suffered
not
the
ignoraunce
of
the
common
error
to
continue
any

but
he
spred
the

For
One
sicritus
Admirall
of
the

serching

brought

It

fiue
thousande

It

For

with

From

a

Claudius

opened
a

being
admitted
to

spéeche
,
hee
brought
worde
againe

what

That
is
to
say
,
howe
the
king
wondred
at
the
mony
that
was
taken
with

,
because
the

béeing
stamped
with

had
neuerthelesse

At

equalitie
,
when

of
〈◊〉
.
of
whom
the
chiefe
was
Rachias
,
by
whom
all
things
were
brought
to
our
knowledge
.
Those
men
excelled
all
others
in
talenesse
of
personage
,
and
making
.
They
dye
theyr
hayre
,
they
are
gray
eyed
,
grym
of
countenance
,
and
haue
a
terrible
réere
in
speaking
.
Such
of
them
as
are
short
liued
,
continue
to
the
age
of
a
hundred
yéeres
:
all
others
liue
much
longer
,
and
farre
beyonde
the

frailtie

They
sléepe
not
from
before
the
day
breake
till
the
night
be
shutte

for
they
euer
ryse

They
make

height
aboue

Corne
holds

They

They

of
Apples

kind
of

They

The
choosing
of
theyr
king
In
choosing
theyr
King
,
nobilitie
auaileth
not
,
but
the
generall
consent
of
the
Country
.
For
the
people
chooseth
such
a
one
,
as
is
of
approoued
good
behauiour
,
and
rooted
in
gentlenesse
from
hys
cradle
,
and
at
that
time
an
olde
man
.
And
this
is
chieflie
requisite
in
him
,
that
he
haue
no
children
.
For
hée
that
is
a
Father
,
though
his
life
be
neuer
so
vertuous
he
is
not
admitted
to
the
kingdome
.
And
if
perchance
in
the
time
of
his
raigne
he
beget
a
childe
,
hee
is
deposed
.
For
aboue
all
thinges
this
is
most
straightly
obserued
,
that
the
kingdome
goe
not
by
inheritance
.
The
executing
of
Iustice
Furthermore
,
although
the
King
séeme
to
be
neuer
so
good
a
Iusticer
,
yet
they
will
not
let
him
haue
the
Law
in
his
owne
hande
.
And
therefore
hee
admitteth
fortye
Moderators
,
because
he
shall
not
sitt
alone
vpon
matmatters
of
life
and
death
.
Yea
and
if
the
iudgment
shall
then
also
be
misliked
:
appeale
is
made
to
the
people
,
who
appoint
thréescore
and
ten
Iudges
,
to
whose
determination
there
is
no
remedy
but
they
must
nedes
stand
.
The
King
is
apparelled
in
rayment
vnlike
the
common
fashion
,
The
King
is
subiect
to
the
Lawes
,
called
Syrma
,
a
robe
wherewyth
we
sée
Liber
Pater
was
wont
to
be
clad
.
If
it
happen
that
the
King
himselfe
be
taken
tardie
in
any
offence
,
and
thereof
conuicted
,
he
is
punished
with
death
:
howbeit
,
not
so
that
any
man
layeth
handes
vppon
him
.
But
by
the
common
consent
of
the
whole
Realme
,
hée
is
vtterly
forbidden
the
vse
of

yea
euen

wyth
any

denyed
him
after

is

Theyr
pastyme●
They
giue
themselues
to

nurture
vniuersallie
.
Sometime
they
spende
the
time
in
hunting
,
and
that
of
no
rascall
game
,
for
they
séeke
onely
for
Tygers
or
Oliphants

Monstrous
Se●
Tortoyses
Moreouer
they
ransacke
the
Seas
in
fishing
,
for
delight
to
catch
the
Sea
Tortoyses
:
the
hugenesse
of
whom
is
such
,
that
the
shell
of
one
of
them
wyll
make
a
house
able
to
receiue
a
great
housholde
of
many
persons
wythout
pestring
.
The
greater
part
of
this
Ile
is
parched
with
heate
,
and
endeth
in
waste
wyldernesse
.
The
Sea
that
beateth
vppon
the
one
side
thereof
,
groweth
so
full
of
shrubs
(
and
those
of
very
gréene
colour
)
that
sometime
the
tops
of
the
trées
are
brushed
away
with
the
sternes
of
shyps
.
From
the
toppes
of
their
Mountaines
they
beholde
the
Sea
cost
of
the
Seres
.
They
delight
greatlie
in
golde
:
and
to
garnishe
their
Cups
withall
,
they
set
them
full
of
all
kynde
of
Iewels
.
Of
the
Margarite
or
Moother
perle
,
Of
Perles
,
They
hewe
out
Marble
that
is
checkered
,
and
gather
great
store
of
Moother
perles
,
and
those
of
the
greatest
sort
.
They
be
shelfishes
in
whome
thys
kinde
of
stones
is
sought
,
which
at
a
certaine
time
of
the
yéere
when
desire
of
conception
pricketh
them
forward
,
doo
thirst
after
the
deawe
as
after
their
milter
:
for
desire
whereof
they
gape
,
and
when
the
Moone
sheadeth
most
aboundance
of
moisture
,
they
draw
the
desired
humour
by
a
certaine
sucking
,
whereby
they
conceiue
and
are
great
with
youg
,
and
according
to
the
qualitie
of
the
thing
they
haue
glutted
in
,
such
is
the
disposition
of
the
perles
that
they
bréede
.
For
if
it
bee
pure
that
they
haue
taken
in
,
their
little
rounde
stones
are
white
:
if
it
were
troubled
,
either
they
haue
a
faint
pale
colour
▪
or
els
are
stained
with
a
red
.
Thus
haue
they
their
séede
rather
of
the
ayre
then
of
the
Sea
.
Finally
,
as
often
as
they
receiue
in
the
morning
dew
the
pearle
becommeth
cléerer
:
and
when
they
suck
in
the
euening
dewe
,
they
become
dimmer
,
and
the
more
they
haue
haled
in
,
so
much
the
stone
groweth
greater
If
it
chaunce
to
lighten
vpon
the
suddaine
,
they
shutte
for
feare
,
and
closing
fast
for
suddaine
fearefulnes
,
they
take
in
that
which
they
loose
againe
ere
it
be
ripe
:
for
then
they
haue
very
small
stones
,
or
els
none
at
all
.
And
the
shelfishes
themselues
haue
a
kinde
of
vnderstanding
,
for
they
are
afraide
to
haue
their
issue
stayned
:
insomuch
as
when
the
day
is
at
the
hotest
,
because
their
stones
shoulde
not
bee
dimmed
with
the
heate
,
they
ducke
vnder
the
water
,
and
diue
into
the
déepes
to
saue
them
from
the
heate
.
Neuerthelesse
,
age
forestandeth
this
foresight
of
theirs
.
For
the
whitnes
decayeth
by
age
,
and
as
the
shelfishes
wexe
greater
,
the
perles
wex●
more
yellowe
.
While
the
perle
is
in
the
water
it
is
soft
,
and
as
soone
as
it
is
taken
out
of
the
shell
it
becommeth
harde
.
There
are
neuer

aboue

and
therefore
the
Latins
call
them
Vnions
.
Vnions
They
say
they

The
shelfishes
are
afraide

layde
for
by

Fyshers
:
and
thereon
it
comes
to
passe
,
that
they

that

were

bee

which
were

rough

for

The

sayth
are
situate

next

By
reason
of

suppose
a

looked
for

but
the
