Cimbelin hauing choice to pay or not to pay tribute, forgat the slauery of the act and payd it. Aruirage was perswa∣ded by his wife to pay tribute when he had resisted the Romanes valiantly.

Coil saw in his poreblinde eyes, that it was best to yeald to Roome, and agreed to pay tribute. Androgy departed to Roome with Caesar: a mad and fickle courage.
