=Plutarch= in the life of =Cimon=, (as hée is translated by =Ioachimus Camerarius=, in the Preface on =Plutarches= bookes, _De oraculis quæ defecerint_, & _de conseruata figura, Ei, Delphis_ writeth, that =Pausanias=, when he had taken the Citie of _Bizance_, sent for =Cleonice=, a mayden of noble parentage, to haue vnhonest company with her. Whom her parents partly by necessitie, and partly for fear, sent vnto him. But after that the virgin had once obteined so much of his waiters in his priuie Chamber, that they should at her first entrance, put out the lightes, she in the darke going softly towardes =Pausanias= bedde, by the way stumbled on the candlesticke, and ouerthrew it against her will, as he laie a sléepe in his bedde, who being troubled with the sodaine noyse, drew a swoord that laie by him, and therewith slewe the virgine, as she had bene his enemie, which went priuily to set vpon him. But she being thus slaine with that deadly stroake, would neuer suffer =Pausanias= to take his quiet rest, but in a vision appearing vnto him in the night season, denounced sentence of hatred against this noble captaine, in these words. [Sidenote: Ephori amōgest the Lacedemonians were Magistrates, who in certaine cases were aboue kings, vnto whom appeales were made from kings: euen as amongst the Romans, they appealed from the Consuls to the Tribunes.] Στεῖχε δἱχες ἆσσον μάλα τοι χαχὸν άνδράσιν ὕβρις which is, Answere to the lawe, for wrong is an euill thing vnto all men. This heinous déede of =Pausanias= was verie gréeuously taken of all his companions, who therefore vnder the conduction of captaine =Cymo= sette on him, and chased him out of _Thracia_. And thus hauing lost the Cities of _Bizance_, when (as it is reported) the fight continued in troubling him, he fledde vnto _Necyomantium_, at _Heraclea_, where the soule of =Cleonices= being called vp, hée by intreatie pacified her displeasure. Shée did there both present her selfe vnto his sight, and also told him, it should shortly come to passe, that the euill towardes him should cease, assoone as he came to _Sparta_. Hereby priuily intimating his death, &c. This =Pausanias= did at the first soberly and discréetely demeane himselfe, but afterwardes béeing puffed vp with such victories as he had obteined, he ruled and raigned lyke a verie Tyraunt. Wherefore when the Magistrates called =Ephori=, would haue committed him to prison, he tooke Sanctuarie in a Temple, where he was shut vp vntill he famished through hunger. I might here heape togither many such like Histories, to proue euidently what this =Samuel= was. In other matters also, if God licence him, the Diuel is not destitute of power, and how craftie and readie he is for all assaies, experience doth well declare.
