The temperance of Epaminondas, King of Thebes.
Athebane kinde did some-time beg and pray,EPAMINONDAS for his Royall Guest:
The King compear'd, and kept the Feasting day:
Yet liv'd on Bread, and fasted from the Feast:
Then sayde, (good Friend) I came to thee indeede,
As Man to eate, not as a Beast to feede.
