Marcus Valerius a Romaine, fighting a
combate on a time hand to hand with a cer-
taine aduersarie of his, named Gallus, ouer-
came him by the aid that he had vnlooked
for. For it chanced that a rauen houered a
prettie while ouer his head peece, and at the
last lighting on it, so pecked and smothered
his enemies eyes that Valerius at the last o-
uercame him. Whereupon this Valerius was
named of the same rauen Coruinus: although
if you respect the victorie it selfe, he can not
chalenge the same to him selfe by his owne
manhood, but by the prouidence of God. Yet
neuerthelesse Augustus Cesar caused a mo-
nument to be erected to the same Coruinus,
on the top of whosehelmet sat the rauen, for
a token of so worthie an exploit.
