And David was wise and kept him well from him. And after this he wedded Michal, daughter of Saul, and Jonathan made oft times peace between Saul and David, yet Saul kept no promise, but ever lay in wait to slay David. And Jonathan warned David thereof. And David gat him a company of men of war to the number of four hundred, and kept him in the mountains.
The poet's appetite for "soul-dissection" was amply shown in the characters not merely of Paracelsus himself, but of his soberer friends Festus and Michal, and of the Italian poet Aprile, a sort of Euphorion pretty evidently suggested by, though greatly enlarged from, the actual Euphorion of the second part of Faust, then not long finished.
Then Barbara praised Michal greatly, and said that Master Henry would also make a fine show with the scratches he had received from her. And now she proceeded to answer Michal's first question. "So you want to know, my little poppet, what a wife should do who does not love her husband?
I'll wake you up again," sneered the headsman, and he tore her gown from her shoulders, so as to give freer play to the lashes of his scourge.

Michal took an image and laid in his bed, and a rough skin of a goat on the head of the image, and covered it with clothes.

Then after this sent Saul messengers for to see David, and said to them: Bring him to me in his bed that he may be slain.
And when, a little time afterward, Dame Sarah asked her how it was that her eyes were so red, she pretended she had been working too long at a piece of fine white embroidery. Dame Sarah thereupon locked up every piece of white embroidery in her wardrobe, so that Michal might not ruin her eyes.
And with the help of his friend he laid his pretty Michal in that sad bed from which no one ever rises again till the last trump. Then he embraced his faithful comrade and sent him away. "Now it is our turn, Henry Catsrider!" said he, turning to his mortal foe.
Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!
