M. Sceua a most valiant knight of Iulius
Caesars, in that battaile which he fought a-
gainst Pompey, lost one of his eyes, and had
his body thrust thorow seuen times, his shield
was found also to be pearced with a hundred
and twentie darts. And (as Caesar himselfe
reporteth) notwithstanding that his shield
was strooke thorow 230. places, yet he kept
the gate still, and the entrance, which he had
taken vpon him to defend. And whilest he
went in the foreward of the battell in France
and fought hand to hand with his enemies,
his hippe being sore hurt, and his face brused
with great stones, his helmet, and his shield
broken, and fallen out of his hand, and his
sword shiuered in diuerse peeces, and being
armed with a double brest plate, with great
boldnesse cast himselfe into the sea, and by
swimming thorow the waters which he had
made redde with the blood of his enimies,
he came to his owne men. Whither when he
was come, as soone as he perceiued himselfe
to be ynarmed, which by the law of armes
was forbidden, he cried out to the Prince (for
he trusted not yet to so many dangers which
he ahd oyercome.) Oh noble Emperour for-
giue me, I come to thee vnarmed. This was
the vertue and manly prowesse of Sceua,
wherefore for a reward, he was preferred to
the dignitie of a Centurion.
