§. 1. Tiberius near his end.

TWice only did Tiberius proffer to return to the City after his departure from it, but returned never. The later time was not very long before his end: For being come within the sight of the City upon the Appian rode, this prodigy (as he took it) affrighted him back. He had a tame Serpent, which coming to feed as he used to do with his own hand, he found him eaten up by Pismires: upon which ominous acci∣dent being advised not to trust himself among the multitude, he suddenly retired back to Campany, and at Astura he fell sick. From thence he removed to Circeii, and thence to Misenum, carrying out his infirmity so well, that he abated not a whit of his former sports, banquets and voluptuousness: whether for dissimulation, or for habitual intemperance, or upon Thrasyllus his prediction, let who will determine. He used to mock at Physick, and to scoff at those, that being thirty years of age, yet would ask other mens counsel, what was good or hurtful for their own bodies.
