"You have heard, sir?" she said in a low tone. "They summons him to San Beda." "Old Dario told me; but Adone will not go?" "No sir; he will never go." "He is in error." "I do not know sir. He is best judge of that." "I fear he is in no state of mind to judge calmly of anything. His absence will go against him.
Shrugging, you will say of sorrow, 'What is it? for you will know grief also to be impermanent. And your inability to be quite miserable any more will assure you that your goings are attended by the ghost of outlived and conquered misery: and I, whom some call Béda, and others call Kruchina, shall be monstrously amused by this."
This mariage and liberalite of the king towards the strangers much offended the minds of his subiects, and hastened the finall destruction of the land.

But when he shall be Duke indeed, and blest with her that is so fair a maid and apt to motherhood I pray thee, Saint Cuthbert, let him not forget me whose soul he saved long since within the green in the matter of Beda that was a Jester I pray thee let him have regard to Black Roger that am his man henceforth to the end. Amen. Holy Saint Cuthbert grant me this."
But before his fall and Apostasie from the faith, he exercised himselfe in the best studies, as Gennadius, Beda, Honorius, and other authors doe report of him, and wrote many bookes seruing not a litle to Christian vtilitie: but being once fallen into his heresie, hee wrote many more erroneous bookes, then he did before honest, and sincere: whereupon, at the last his owne Countreymen banished him, as Walden testifieth in his Epistle to Pope Martine the fift.
It said that the Most Honourable the Syndic of San Beda had enjoyed a conference with the Prefect of the province, and it had therein transpired that the project for the works upon the river Edera had been long well known to the Prefect, and that such project was approved by the existing Government, and therefore by all the Government officials, as was but natural.
