CHAP. XXIIII.
CAESAR besieged Corfinium, and Domitius was shut vp in the same, who considering his danger, commanded a slaue of his (who was practised in Phisique) to giue him poison: And per∣ceiuing that by all meanes he sought occasion not to doe it, Why delayest thou (saith he) as if all this were in thy power? armed, I in∣treat thee, to yeeld me death. Hereupon his slaue promised to performe it, and gaue him a harmelesse potion to drinke vp, wherewith being laid a-sleepe, hee came vnto his sonne and said. Command me to be kept in sure hold, till by the euent thou vnderstandest, whether I haue giuen thy Father poison or no. DOMITIVS li∣ued, and was saued by Caesar; but yet his bond-man had saued him first.
