For fwhen he & his son and heir, the Duke of Valence, had purposed to poison 6a Cardinal whom they were to sup with, (as commonly they used not only their enemies, but also their 7friends, yea nearest friends which had riches, that themselves might be enriched with their spoils:) the Duke had sent thither flagons of wine poisoned, by a servant whom he made not privy to the matter, vut willed him to give them no man. The Pope coming into the Cardinals before supper time, the weather being hot, he thirsty, called for wine. Now, because his own provision for supper was not come from the palace yet, the servant of the Duke gave him of that wine, which he thought his master had willed to be kept for himself as the best. Whereof while he was drinking, his son, the Duke came in: and thinking the wine to be his fathers own, he drank of it too.

The Pope comming into the Cardinals before supper time, the weather being hote, he thirstie, called for wine. Now, because his owne prouision for supper was not come from the palace yet, the seruant of the Duke gaue him of that wine, which he thought his maiter had willed to be kept for himselfe as the best. Whereof while he was drinking, his sonne, the Duke came in: and thinking the wine to bee his fathers owne, he dranke of it too. So the Pope was caried sodenly for dead home to the palace: and the next day hee was caried dead (after the maner of the Popes) into S. Peters Church: blacke, swollen, and ougly: most manifest signes of poyson. All Rome did runne togither to his dead carkasse with wonderfull ioy: no man being able to satisfie his eyes with beholding a serent dispatched and quelled, that had poysoned all the world with
