The pilgrimage of Princes penned out of sundry Greeke and Latine aucthours | ||
Thimistocles death.
That noble Greeke Themistocles,by Artaxerxes forcde:
To fight agaynst his natiue soyle,
in harnesse braue was horsde.
But marke a valiaunt minde,
beholde a famous deede:
To hurt his soyle this noble Greeke,
did feele his heart to bleede.
To voyde this wrath of Perseans Prince,
hee bloode with poyson dranke:
[135]
hee gladly God did thanke.
