[277] "Ait miles, 'o carissima domina, mihi prae omnibus praedilecta hodie
fere vitam amsi; sed cum ad mortem judicari debuissem, intravit subito
quidam miles formosus valde, bene militem tam formosum nunquam antea
vidi, et me per prudentiam suam non tantum a morte salvavit, sed etiam
me ab omni solutione pecuniae liberavit.' Ait puella: 'Ergo ingratus
fuisti quod militem ad prandium, quia vitam tuam taliter salvavit, non
invitasti.' Ait miles: 'Subito intravit et subito exivit.' Ait puella:
'Si cum jam videres, haberes notitiam ejus?' At ille 'Etiam optime.'"

[278] Born ab. 1120. To him it was that Pope Adrian IV. (Nicholas
Breakspeare) delivered the famous bull "Laudabiliter," which gave
Ireland to Henry II. Adrian had great friendship for John: "Fatebatur
etiam," John wrote somewhat conceitedly, "publice et secreto quod me prae
omnibus mortalibus diligebat.... Et quum Romanus pontifex esset, me in
propria mensa gaudebat habere convivum, et eundem scyphum et discum sibi
et mihi volebat, et faciebat, me renitente, esse communem"
("Metalogicus," in the "Opera Omnia," ed. Giles, vol. v. p. 205). John
of Salisbury died in 1180, being then bishop of Chartres, a dignity to
which he had been raised, he said, "divina dignatione et meritis Sancti
Thomae" (Demimuid, "Jean de Salisbury," 1873, p. 275). The very fine copy
of John's "Policraticus," which belonged to Richard de Bury, is now in
the British Museum: MS. 13 D iv.
