[So dyd Cambises, which of Persia was kyng]

So dyd Cambises, which of Persia was kyng,
Geuing afray to officers of inftry,
Vpon a Iudge he made such punishing,
Because he handled his office vntruely.
Causd his skinne to be rent from the body,
And on the seate where he gaue sentment,
Made stretch it foorth for lastyng memory,
Placing his sonne to sitte in iudgement.
