 | The pilgrimage of Princes penned out of sundry Greeke and Latine aucthours |  |
Heliogabalus Emperour of Rome his death.
Beholde another Gorgon grim,a monster Cyclop lo:
Whose lothsome life and wicked wayes,
all Rome did feare I know.
The sincke of sinne, the shape of shame,
the beast of Rome was calde:
The cruelst scourge, the sorest plague,
that euer Rome haue stalde.
This monster murthered in a iakes,
and halde through Rome in steetes:
And after throwne to Tibers streames,
shut in his shrowding sheetes.
