Aruiragus, 44.
Stout Aruiragus being in the fight,The Kings death added fury to his might:
Perceiu'd the Britaine Host, almost dismaide,
In's brothers Armour hee himselfe array'd,
278
With courage new through euery veine deriu'd,
Braue Aruiragus, like a Tempest goes,
And pell mell topsieturuy throwes his foes.
Great Cæsar with his Romane army fled,
The King tooke Hamon, and cut off his head,
And more, with sharp reuenge his wrath t'appease,
Hew'd him piece-meale, and cast him in the Seas,
The place long time, this name did then allow,
Of Hamors hauen, or Southampton now.
The Emperour would quite the tribute free,
If Brittaines King his Sonne in law would be.
Then Aruarigue did faire Genisse marry,
And Claudius Cæsar heere a while did tarry,
He builded Gloster, whil'st he heere remain'd:
The King dyed hauing twenty eight yeeres reign'd.
