The pilgrimage of Princes penned out of sundry Greeke and Latine aucthours | ||
Cirus King of Persea his death.
What Kesar, King, or Prince thou art,that passes here this way:
Suffer Cirus seauen foote,
to rest his Corpes in clay.
[133]
whose fortune frowning wild:
That Cirus shoulde be in Scithia slaine,
by Tomyris, Queene in fielde.
Whose heade was off and bathed in bloode,
to whome the Queene spake first:
Drinke cruell Cirus bloode ynough,
that long for bloode did thirst.
