The Wives of Caesar.

HIs first wife was COSSUTIA, whom he married in his youth, but divorc'd her at the seventeenth year of his Age, before he had lived with her, though she was rich, and descended of a family of the Roman Knights.

The second was CORNELIA, the daughter of Cornelius Cinna, one who had been four times Consul; by whom he had onely one daughter, named Iulia, afterwards first wife to Pompey. He took her death very heavily, and publickly commended her, in a most elegant funerall Oration.

The third was POMPEIA, the daughter of Q. Pompeius, who had got∣ten that evill report, as if Publius Claudius had been somewhat too familiar with her, which was the reason that Caesar divorc'd her.

The fourth and last was CALPHURNIA, who out-lived him, and was the daughter of Lucius Piso: a woman of a generous spirit and well spoken, and had that honour and affection for Caesar, that after his death she her self made a most elegant funerall Oration to his honour, and afterward retir'd to Mark Antony.
