The Paraphrase.
COdrus beeing (as both saint Austine
& Valerius report) the king of Athens,
when as he was to fight with Pelops duke
of the Lacedemonians, and had answere of
his Idols, to whom he sacrificed, that the
side whose captaine was slaine should haue
the victorie, preferrin, glike a worthie gen∣tleman,
the liues & prosperitie of his poore
subiects farre aboue his owne, apparailing
himselfe in a base and simple habite, and ru∣shing
into the thickest of the enemies, was
presently slaine. Of whom Virgil writeth,
descriptionPage 78
that he chose rather to die with the victorie,
then to liue with the ouerthrow.
