Crown with Henry the Seventh, the Lord Bacon writes as follows:
"At this Time the King began again to be haunted with Sprites, by the Magick and curious Arts of the Lady Margaret; who raiſed up the Ghoſt of Richard Duke of York, ſecond Son to King Edward the Fourth, to walk and vex the King."[1]
"After ſuch Time as ſhe (Margaret of Burgundy) thought he (Perkin Warbeck) was perfect in his Leſson, ſhe began to caſt with her ſelf from what Coaſt this Blazing-Starre ſhould firſt appear, and at what Time it muſt be upon the Horizon of Ireland; for there had the like Meteor ſtrong Influence before."[2]
Methinks or ſagacious Thuanus does not give into ſuch Fuſtian, which formerly was look'd upon as Sublime, but in this Age is juſtly call'd Nonſenſe.
