Pompeius death.
Pompeius fleeing Pharsalia fieldes,from Cæsar, life to saue:
Whome then Photinus fayned friende,
to Egypt soyle did laue.
And there by slaightes of faythlesse frindes,
for golde and siluer loe:
Pompeius heade was sent to Rome,
to Cæsar for to shoe.
His bodie left vnburied lieth,
in Egypt slimy sandes:
Who sometime King of Pontus prest,
and all Armenia landes.
