ABSTRACT

In the Seventh Book is told, first, Pompey’s Dream the Night before the Battle of Pharsalia; after that, the impatient Desire of his Army to engage, which is reinforc’d by Tully. Pompey, tho’ against his own Opinion and Inclination, agrees to a Battle. Then follows the Speech of each General to his Army, and the Battle it self: The Flight of Pompey; Cæsar’s Behaviour after his Victory; and an Invective against him, and the very Country of Thessaly, for being the Scene (according to this and other Authors) of so many Misfortunes to the People of Rome.
