Phoenix
Phœnix magnus Marchio: apparet uti avis phœnix puerili voce: sed
antequam se sistit coram exorcista, cantus emittit dulcissimos: tunc
autem cavendum exorcistæ cum suis sociis, ne suavitati cantus aures
accommodent, sed ille mox huic jubeat humanam assumere speciem, tunc
mire loquetur de cunctis scientiis admirandis. Poëta est optimus &
obediens. Sperat se post mille ducentos annos ad septimum thronum
rediturum. Viginti præest legionibus.
Phoenix is a great marquesse, appearing like the bird Phoenix, having a
childs voice: but before he standeth still before the conjuror, he
singeth manie sweet notes. Then the exorcist with his companions must
beware he give no eare to the melodie, but must by and by bid him put on
humane shape; then will he speake marvellouslie of all woonderfull
sciences. He is an excellent poet, and obedient, he hopeth to returne to
the seventh throne after a thousand two hundreth yeares, and governeth
twentie legions.
