The Book of Dreams and Ghosts
·
Andrew Lang
122
The
following
curious
manuscript
account
of
the
affair
is,
after
the
prefatory
matter,
the
copy
of
a
letter
dated
1652.
There
is
nothing
said
of
a
ghostly
knife,
the
name
of
the
seer
is
not
Parker,
and
in
its
whole
effect
the
story
tallies
with
Clarendon's
version,
though
the
narrator
knows
nothing
of
the
scene
with
the
Countess
of
Buckingham.
CAVALIER
VERSION
{121}
"1627.
Since
William
Lilly
the
Rebells
Jugler
and
Mountebank
in
his
malicious
and
blaspheamous
discourse
concerning
our
late
Martyred
Soveraigne
of
ever
blessed
memory
(amongst
other
lyes
and
falsehoods)
imprinted
a
relation
concerning
an
Aparition
which
foretold
several
Events
which
should
happen
to
the
Duke
of
Buckingham,
wherein
he
falsifies
boeth
the
person
to
whom
it
appeared
and
ye
circumstances;
I
thought
it
not
amis
to
enter
here
(that
it
may
be
preserved)
the
true
account
of
that
Aparition
as
I
have
receaved
it
from
the
hande
and
under
the
hande
of
Mr.
Edmund
Wyndham,
of
Kellefford
in
the
County
of
Somersett.
I
shall
sett
it
downe
(ipsissimis
verbis)
as
he
delivered
it
to
me
at
my
request
written
with
his
own
hande.
