The Four AIo?iarchies. 289
But as he took delight mugh bloud to fpill, [i59]
So the fame cup to his, did others fill.
Four of his Captains now do all divide,
As Daniel before had prophyfi'd.
The Leopard dovv^n, the four wings 'gan to rife,
The great horn broke, the lefs did tyranize."^
What troubles and contentions did enfue
We may hereafter fhew in feafon due.

/^~^REAT Alexander 6.Q.^di^ his Armyes left, ^^ Like to that Giant of his E3'e bereft; When of his monfhrous bulk it was the guide. His matchlefs force no creature could abide. But by Ulijfes having loft his fight, All men^ began ftreight to contemn his might; For aiming ftill amifs, his dreadful blows Did harm himfelf, but never reacht his Foes. Now Court and Camp all in confufion be, A King they'l have, but who, none can agree; Each Captain wiftit this prize to bear away, But none fo hardy found as fo durft fay: Great Alexander did leave ^ Iflue none. Except by Artabafus daughter one;
^ his. * Dan. vii. 6; viii. 8, 22. v Each man. ^ had left.
