Xerxes. 15.

THis king was Darius sonne, & he inuaded Grece, with se∣uē hundred thousand straūge souldiours, & yet was vāqui∣shed by a few Greekes, and cōstrayned to flie away in great feare in a litle boate vnknowē, and at the last was slaine by Artabanus the greate Capitaine of his armye. On a time whē he saw the whole Sea called Hellespontus couered w^t his Nauie, and all the bāckes and plaine fieldes replenished with his armie of men, he boasted hym selfe blessed, and yet straight way fell on weepyng. Artabanus his vncle whiche had disswaded him from that viage, maruelyng at so sodayne a chaunge, demanded the cause. Then Xerxes sayd, I nowe recorde in my mynde, howe short the life of man is, when of this great multitude after an hundres yeares not one of these shall remayne alyue. He was before Christ .485. yeares.
