Hanibal his death.
The fostered fame the glory great,that was in Carthage coast:
The honour long that Lybia had,
againe in time was lost.
He that was the scurge of Rome,
and Romanes oft offend:
He that saued his natiue zoile,
and Carthage did defende.
The same at last to Siria fled,
to craue Antiochus ayde:
Unto Bithinia thence he went,
to Prusias King dismayde.
And there to voyde Flaminius force,
he poyson dranke did die;
Thus hauty Hanibal ended life,
and there his bones do lye.
