Seleucus king of Siria his death.

Seleucus King of Siria lo,
Antiochus sonne the great:
To whome in middest of ioyfull state,
did fortune vse this feate.
That mounted high on stately steede,
with princely port to ride:
From pompe, from pride, from horse he fell,
and there Seleucus died.
That earst in Siria had such fame,
and liued long in mirth:
With crawling creeping wormes hee lieth,
starcke naked in the earth.
