dreadful looks, Again we follow'd; but got near the Sea; On which his Navy anchor'd; in one hand Holding a Scroll he had above the waves, And in the other grasping fast his Sword, As it had been a Trident forg'd by _Vulcan_ To calm the raging Ocean, he made away As if he had been _Neptune_, his friends like So many _Tritons_ follow'd, their bold shouts Yielding a chearful musick; we showr'd darts Upon them, but in vain, they reach'd their ships And in their safety we are sunk; for _Caesar_ Prepares for War. _Pho._ How fell the King? _Achil._ Unable To follow _Caesar_, he was trod to death By the Pursuers, and with him the Priest Of _Isis_, good _Achoreus_. _Ars._ May the Earth Lye gently on their ashes. _Pho._ I feel now, That there are powers above us; and that 'tis not Within the searching policies of man To alter their decrees. _Cleo._ I laugh at thee; Where are thy threats now, Fool, thy scoffs and scorns Against the gods?

[_Exeunt._ _Cleo._ Farewel again, _Arsino_; how now, _Eros_? Ever faint-hearted? _Eros_. But that I am assur'd, Your Excellency can command the General, I fear the Souldiers, for they look as if They would be nibling too. _Cleo._ He is all honour, Nor do I now repent me of my favours, Nor can I think that Nature e'r made a Woman That in her prime deserv'd him. _Enter_ Caesar, Sceva, Antonie, Dolabella, _Souldiers, with the Heads._ _Ars._ He's come back, Pursue no further; curb the Souldiers fury. _Caes._ See (beauteous Mistris) their accursed heads That did conspire against us. _Sce._ Furies plague 'em, They had too fair an end to dye like Souldiers, _Pompey_ fell by the Sword, the Cross or Halter
