n of troubles again. This man was the brother of Demetrius, and the last of the race of the Seleucidse. Josephus here calls this Antiochus the last of the Seleucidae, although there remained still a shadow of another king of that family, Antiochus Asiaticus, or Commagenus, who reigned, or rather lay hid, till Pompey quite turned him out, as Dean Aldrich here notes from Appian and Justin. Alexander was afraid of him, when he was marching against the Arabians; so he cut a deep trench between Antipatris, which was near the mountains, and the shores of Joppa; he also erected a high wall before the trench, and built wooden towers, in order to hinder any sudden approaches. But still he was not able to exclude Antiochus, for he burnt the towers, and filled up the trenches, and marched on with his army. And as he looked upon taking his revenge on Alexander, for endeavoring to stop him, as a thing of less consequence, he marched directly against the Arabians, whose king retired into such parts

Betweene the fountaines of Cyane and Arethuse of Pise An arme of Sea that meetes enclosde with narrow homes there lies. Of this the Poole callde Cyane which beareth greatest fame Among the Nymphes of Sicilie did algates take the name. Who vauncing hir unto the waste amid hir Poole did know Dame Proserpine, and said to Dis: Ye shall no further go: You cannot Ceres sonneinlawe be, will she so or no. You should have sought hir courteously and not enforst hir so. And if I may with great estates my simple things compare, Anapus was in love with me: but yet he did not fare As you doe now with Proserpine. He was content to woo And I unforst and unconstreind consented him untoo. This said, she spreaded forth hir armes and stopt him of his way. His hastie wrath Saturnus sonne no lenger then could stay. But chearing up his dreadfull Steedes did smight his royall mace With violence in the bottome of the Poole in that same place. The ground streight yeelded to his stroke and made him wa

Then Arethuse, floud Alpheys love, lifts from hir Elean waves Hir head, and shedding to hir eares hir deawy haire that waves About hir foreheade sayde: O thou that art the mother deare Both of the Maiden sought through all the world both far and neare, And eke of all the earthly fruites, forbeare thine endlesse toyle, And be not wroth without a cause with this thy faithfull soyle: The Lande deserves no punishment. Unwillingly, God wote, She opened to the Ravisher that violently hir smote. It is not sure my native soyle for which I thus entreate. I am but here a sojourner, my native soyle and seate Is Pisa and from Ely towne I fetch my first discent. I dwell but as a straunger here: but sure to my intent This Countrie likes me better farre than any other land. Here now I Arethusa dwell: here am I setled: and I humbly you beseche extend your favour to the same. A time will one day come when you to mirth may better frame, And have your heart more free from care, which be

Then fruitfull Ceres voide of care in that she did recover Hir daughter, prayde thee, Arethuse, the storie to discover, What caused thee to fleete so farre and wherefore thou became A sacred spring? The waters whist. The Goddesse of the same Did from the bottome of the Well hir goodly head up reare. And having dried with hir are perchaunce I should have scaped out. And twice not knowing what to doe he stalkt about the cloude Where Diane had me hid, and twice he called out aloude: Hoe Arethuse, hoe Arethuse. What heart had I poore wretch then? Even such as hath the sillie Lambe that dares not stirre nor quetch when He heares the howling of the Wolfe aArethuse. What heart had I poore wretch then? Even such as hath the sillie Lambe that dares not stirre nor quetch when He heares the howling of the Wolfe about or neare the foldes, Or such as hath the squatted Hare that in hir foorme beholdes The hunting houndes on every side, and dares not move a whit, He would not thence, for why he saw no footing out as yit. And therefore watcht he narrowly the cloud and eke the place. A chill colde sweat my sieged limmes opprest, and downe a
