exhausted with hunger, thirst, and fatigue, he sat down upon the bank of the stream to recover by a little rest strength enough for the remainder of his weary way.  He wished for a drink, but he had nothing to drink from.  And so the mighty potentate, whose tent was full of delicious beverages, and cups and goblets of silver and gold, extended himself down upon the sand at the margin of the river, and drank the warm water directly from the stream.

While Pompey was thus anxiously and toilsomely endeavoring to gain the sea-shore, Caesar was completing his victory over the army which he had left behind him.  When Caesar had carried the intrenchments of the camp, and the army found that there was no longer any safety for them there, they continued their retreat under the guidance of such generals as remained.  Caesar thus gained undisputed possession of the camp.  He found every where the marks of wealth and luxury, and indications of the confident expectation of victory which the discomfited army had entertained.  The tents of the generals were crowned with myrtle, the beds were strewed with flowers, and tables every where were spread for feasts, with cups and bowls of wine all ready for the expected revelers.  Caesar took possession of the whole, stationed a proper guard to protect the property, and then pressed forward with his army in pursuit of the enemy.

Pompey’s army made their way to a neighboring rising ground, where they threw up hasty intrenchments to protect themselves for the night.  A rivulet ran near the hill, the access to which they endeavored to secure, in order to obtain supplies of water.  Caesar and his forces followed them to this spot.  The day was gone, and it was too late to attack them.  Caesar’s soldiers, too, were exhausted with the intense and protracted excitement and exertions which had now been kept up for many hours in the battle and in the pursuit, and they needed repose.  They made, however, one effort more.  They seized the avenue of approach to the rivulet, and threw up a temporary intrenchment to secure it which intrenchment they protected with a guard; and then the army retired to rest, leaving their helpless victims to while away the hours of the night, tormented with thirst, and overwhelmed with anxiety and despair.  This could not long be endured.  They surrendered in the morning, and Caesar found himself in possession of over twenty thousand prisoners.
