Anno Dom. 830, Popiel the Second, King of Poland, careless of matters of state, gave himself over to all manner of dissoluteness, so that his Lords despised him, and call him the Polonian Sardanapalus. He feared therefore that they would set one of his kinsmen in his stead; so that, by the advice of his wife, whom he loved, he feigned himself sick, and sent for all his uncles, Princes of Pomerania (being twenty in number), to come and see him, whom (lying in his bed) he earnestly prayed, that, if he chanced to die, they would make choice of one of his sons to be King; which they willingly promised, in case the Lords of the kingdom would consent thereto.

But, by a miraculous transformation, an innumerable number of rats and mice did rush out of those bodies; which, gathering together in crowds, went and assaulted the King, as he was with great jollity feasting in his palace. The guards endeavoured to drive them away with weapons and flames, but all in vain. The King, perplexed with this extraordinary danger, fled, with his wife and children, into a fortress that is yet to be seen in that lake of Goplo, over-against a city called Crusphitz, whither he was pursued with such a number of these creatures, that the land and the water were covered with them, and they cried and hissed most fearfully: they entered in at the windows of the fortress, having scaled the walls, and there they devoured the King, his wife, and children, alive, and left nothing of them remaining; by which means all the race of the Poland princes were utterly extinguished, and Pyast, a husbandman, at the last, was elected to succeed.

Charles II. King of Navarre, by a vicious life in his youth, fell into a paralytic distemper in his old age, that took away the use of his limbs. His physicians directed him to be sewed up in a sheet that had for a considerable time been steeped in strong distilled spirits, to recover the natural heat of his benumbed joints. The surgeon having sewed him up very close, and wanting a knife to cut off the thread, made use of a candle that was at hand to burn it off; but the flame from the thread reaching the sheet, the spirits wherewith it was wet immediately taking fire, burnt so vehemently, that no endeavours could extinguish the flame. Thus the miserable King lost his life in using the means to recover his health.

One Clod, the Queen's jester, was employed by the Courtiers to laugh the Queen out of so inconvenient a journey. "Heaven, saith he, "Madam dissuades you; this heavenly-minded man, Archbishop Whitgift, and earth, dissuades you; your fool Clod, such a lump of Clay as myself, dissuades you; and if neither will prevail with you, here is one that is neither heaven nor earth, but hangs betwixt both, Dr. Perne, and he also dissuades you." Hereupon the Queen and the Courtiers laughed heartily, whilst the Doctor looked sadly; and going over with his Grace to Lambeth, soon died.

Anno Dom. 830, Popiel the Second, King of Poland, careless of matters of state, gave himself over to all manner of dissoluteness, so that his Lords despised him, and call him the Polonian Sardanapalus. He feared therefore that they would set one of his kinsmen in his stead; so that, by the advice of his wife, whom he loved, he feigned himself sick, and sent for all his uncles, Princes of Pomerania (being twenty in number), to come and see him, whom (lying in his bed) he earnestly prayed, that, if he chanced to die, they would make choice of one of his sons to be King; which they willingly promised, in case the Lords of the kingdom would consent thereto. The Queen enticed them all, one by one, to drink a health to the King: as soon as they had done they took their leave. But they were scarce got out of the King's chamber, before they were seized with intolerable pains, and the corrosions of that poison wherewith the Queen had intermingled their draughts; and, in a short time, they all died. The Queen gave it out as a judgment of God upon them for having conspired the death of the King; and prosecuting this accusation, caused their bodies to be taken out of their graves, and cast into the lake Goplo. But, by a miraculous transformation, an innumerable number of rats and mice did rush out of those bodies; which, gathering together in crowds, went and assaulted the King, as he was with great jollity feasting in his palace. The guards endeavoured to drive them away with weapons and flames, but all in vain. The King, perplexed with this extraordinary danger, fled, with his wife and children, into a fortress that is yet to be seen in that lake of Goplo, over-against a city called Crusphitz, whither he was pursued with such a number of these creatures, that the land and the water were covered with them, and they cried and hissed most fearfully: they entered in at the windows of the fortress, having scaled the walls, and there they devoured the King, his wife, and children, alive, and left nothing of them remaining; by which means all the race of the Poland princes were utterly extinguished, and Pyast, a husbandman, at the last, was elected to succeed.

The surgeon having sewed him up very close, and wanting a knife to cut off the thread, made use of a candle that was at hand to burn it off; but the flame from the thread reaching the sheet, the spirits wherewith it was wet immediately taking fire, burnt so vehemently, that no endeavours could extinguish the flame. Thus the miserable King lost his life in using the means to recover his health.

It happened he was at Court with his pupil Archbishop Whitgift, in a rainy afternoon, when the Queen was resolved to ride abroad, contrary to the mind of the Ladies, who were on horseback, (coaches as yet being not common) to attend her. One Clod, the Queen's jester, was employed by the Courtiers to laugh the Queen out of so inconvenient a journey. "Heaven, saith he, "Madam dissuades you; this heavenly-minded man, Archbishop Whitgift, and earth, dissuades you; your fool Clod, such a lump of Clay as myself, dissuades you; and if neither will prevail with you, here is one that is neither heaven nor earth, but hangs betwixt both, Dr. Perne, and he also dissuades you."
