The same author writeth in the life of =Decius Brutus=, how when =Brutus= was determined to transporte his army out of =Asia= into =Europe=, being in his tent about midnight, the candle burning dimly, and all the host quiet and silent, as he was musing and reuoluing with himselfe, he séemed that he hearde one entring the Tente into him, and looking backe vnto the doore, he sawe a terrible and monstrous shape of a bodie, which farre excéeded the common stature of men, standing faste by him without any words, wherewith he was sore afraid: and yet he ventured to aske it this question. What art thou (saieth hée) either a God, or a man? and why commest thou vnto me? Whereto the image answered: I am (quoth he) O =Brutus=, thy euill ghoast, at =Philippos= thou shalt sée mée. Then saith =Brutus=, being nothing amazed: I will sée thée. When the sight was vanished, he called his seruants, who tolde him, that they neither sawe any such thing, neither heard any voyce at all. All that night =Brutus= could not sléep one winke. In the morning very early, he goeth vnto =Cassius= and sheweth him his straunge vision. =Cassius= who despised all such things (for he was an Epicure) ascribed the whole matter to naturall causes. For his disputation hereof, is yet extant in =Plutarke=. Afterwards =Brutus= (being vanquished by =Augustus=, and =Anthony=, in the field of =Philippi=) slew himselfe because he would not bee deliuered into the hands of his enemies. [Sidenote: Caius Cassius sawe Iulius Cæsar.] =Valerius Maximus=, in his first booke and sixt chap. writeth that =Caius Cassius= sawe =Iulius Cæsar= in the battaile of =Philippi=, (in a shape of greater maiesty, than any man hath) setting spurres to his horse, and running on him with a terrible threatning countenance: which when =Cassius= sawe, he turned his backe to the enemy, and fled, and shortly after murthered himselfe. [Sidenote: Drusus sawe a woman excelling all mortall creatures in maiestie.] =Dio Cassius Nicæsus=, in his Roman historie from the beginning of his 55.booke writeth of =Drusus=, who by spoyling _Germany_ far and néere on euery side, came euen to the riuer =Albis=, where when he could not get ouer, erecting monuments of victorie, departed back againe: For he there saw a woman, excéeding the state of mortall creatures, which met him, and sayd vnto him: =Drusus=, which canst finde no end of thy gréedie desire, whither goest thou? It is not lawfull for thée to sée al these things: but rather get thée hence, for the ende both of thy life and worthie déedes is nowe at hand. When =Drusus= heard these things, he sodeinly chaunged his course, and being on his iourney, before he came to the riuer of =Rein=, he sickned and dyed. Other like foretokens the same author reporteth to haue hapned before his death, all the which notwithstanding, he nothing regarded. For two yong men appeared on horsebacke vpon the rampiers, and the shriking of women was also hearde, with many other such like. &c.
