CAMILLVS then, that did repulse the Gaules, And vnto Rome her former state did giue: When that her foes made spoile within her waules, Lo here, amongst his actes that still shall liue. I made my choice, of this example rare, That shall for aye his noble minde declare. Wherefore, in briefe then this his woorthie parte, What time he did besiege FALERIA stronge: A scoolemaster, that bare a IVDAS harte, Vnto the place where he was fostred longe, Ofte walk'd abrode with schollers that hee toughte, Whiche cloke hee vs'de, so that no harme was thoughte. At lengthe, with sonnes of all the best, and moste, Of noble peares, that kepte the towne by mighte: Hee made his walke into the Roman hoste, And, when hee came before CAMILLVS sighte, Quoth hee, my Lorde, lo these? thy prisoners bee, Which beinge kepte, FALERIA yeeldes to thee. Whereat, a while this noble captaine stay'd, And pondering well the straungenes of the cause: Vnto his frendes, this in effecte he say'd. Thoughe warres bee ill, yet good mens warres haue lawes, And it behooues a Generall good to gaine With valiaunt actes, and not with treacherous traine. With that, hee caus'de this *SINON to bee stripte, And whippes, and roddes, vnto the schollers gaue: Whome, backe againe, into the toune they whipte, Which facte, once knowne vnto their fathers graue: With ioyfull hartes, they yeelded vp their Toune: An acte moste rare, and glasse of true renoume. Furius Camillus. Verba Camilli apud Plutarchum, Xylandro interprete. Grauis est inquit res bellum, vt quae mul- tis iniustis multis- que violentis factis consiciatur. & ta- men apud bonos vi- ros, habentur etiam belli quaedam leges, neque tantopere victoria expetenda est, vt non fugienda sint officia quae per scelus ac malitiam offerutur, magnum enim imperatorem suae virtutis, non alie- nae improbatis fi- ducia, conuenit bel- lum gerere. Virgil. lib. 2. Aeneid.
