Pompeius a noble Gentleman of Rome, at what time he should go into the field against Caesar, that then was his enemy, and some of his counsel told him he lacked men, and should never be able with so small a number to stand in field against Caesar being well furnished: Tush, quoth he, when so ever I shall but beat the ground with my foot, I shall by and by raise up a swarm of soldiers. Afterward it befell that Pompey was vanquished, and glad to flee. Then Marcus Cato an old gentleman, and one of his army said to him, O sir, remember your promise, you lack men, now let us see your swarm of Soldiers.
