O mighty Caesar, that in Thessaly Against Pompeius , father thine in law, 4188 That of th’ Oriént had all the chivalry, As far as that the day begins to daw, That through thy knighthood hast them take and slaw, 4189 Save fewë folk that with Pompeius fled; Through which thou put all th’ Orient in awe; Thankë Fortúnë that so well thee sped.

But now a little while I will bewail This Pompeius, this noble governór Of Romë, which that fled at this battaile; I say, one of his men, a false traitór, His head off smote, to winnë him favór Of Julius, and him the head he brought; Alas! Pompey, of th’ Orient conquerór, That Fortune unto such a fine 4190 thee brought!
