# Metrical Tales and Other Poems/God's Judgment on a Bishop

GOD's Judgment on a BISHOP.
Here followeth the History of HATTO, Archbishop of Ments.
It hapned in the year 914, that there was an exceeding great famine in Germany, at what time Otho surnamed the Great was Emperor, and one Hatto once Abbot of Fulda was Archbishop of Ments, of the Bishops after Crescens and Crescentius the two and thirtieth, of the Archbishops after St. Bonafacius the thirteenth. This Hatto in the time of this great famine afore-mentioned, when he saw the poor people of the country exceedingly oppressed with famine, assembled a great company of them together into a Barne, and like a most accursed and mercilesse caitiffe burnt up those poor innocent souls, that were so far from doubting any such matter, that they rather hoped to receive some comfort and relief at his hands. The reason that moved the prelat to commit that execrable impiety, was because he thought the famine would the sooner cease, if those unprofitable beggars that consumed more bread than they were worthy to eat, were dispatched out of the world. For he said that those poor folks were like to Mice, that were good for nothing but to devour corne. But God Almighty the just avenger of the poor folks Quarrel, did not long suffer this hainous Tyranny, this most detestable fact, unpunished. For he mustered up an Army of Mice against the Archbishop, and sent them to persecute him as his furious Alastors, so that they afflicted him both day and night, and would not suffer him to take his rest in any place. Whereupon the Prelate thinking ​that he should be secure from the injury of Mice if he were in a certain tour, that standeth in the Rhine near to the towne, betook himself into the said tower as to a safe refuge and sanctuary from his enemies, and locked himself in. But the innumerable troupes a Mice chased him continually very eagerly, and swumme unto him upon the top of the water to execute the just judgment of God, and so at last he was most miserably devoured by those sillie creatures; who pursued him with such bitter hostility, that it is recorded they scraped and gnawed out his very name from the walls and tapistry mherein it was written, after they had so cruelly devoured his body. Wherefore the tower wherein he was eaten up by the Mice is shewn to this day, for a perpetual monument to all succeeding ages of the barbarous and inhuman tyranny of this impious Prelate, being situate in a little green Island in the midst of the Rhine near to the towne ofBing, and is commonly called in the German Tongue, the Mowse-turn.
Coryat's Crud. P. 571, 572.
Other Authors who record this tale say that the Bishop was eaten by Rats.

# Metrical Tales and Other Poems/Bishop Bruno

BISHOP BRUNO.
"Bruno, the Bishop of Herbipolitanum, sailing in the river of Danubius, with Henry the third, then Emperour, being not far from a place which the Germanes call Ben Strudel, or the devouring gulfe, which is neere unto Grinon, a castle in Austria, a spirit was heard clamouring aloud, "Ho-ho, Bishop Bruno, whether art thou, travelling? but dispose of thyselfe how thou pleasest, thou shalt be my prey and spoile." At the hearing of these words they were all stupified, and the Bishop with the rest crost and blest themselves. The issue was, that within a short time after, the Bishop feasting with the Emperor in a Castle belonging to the Countesse of Esburch, a rafter fell from the roof of the chamber wherein they sate, and strooke him dead at the table."

# Myths and Legends of British North America/Origin of Death (Thompson River)

ORIGIN OF DEATH
Thompson River
ANT and Spider were very wise. They were arguing one day about death. Spider said to Ant, "You are cutting yourself in two with that tight belt. Soon you will die."
Ant said, "Well, if I do, I shall come to life again in a few hours."
Spider said, "I think it would be better if people died properly, else the world will soon become over-crowded. If so many people come to earth and none die, soon people will starve."
Thus they argued.
Now Fly joined Spider, so it was two to one. They said death must happen.
Soon after that Spider's child died. Spider came weeping to Ant, and said, "Let us put things right by declaring people cannot die."
Ant said, "But it is too late now. Death has already happened."
# Myths and Legends of British North America/Origin of Light (Wyandot)

ORIGIN OF LIGHT
Wyandot
AFTER the earth was formed on Big Turtle's shell, there was not enough light, so the animals said. Big Turtle called a council. When the council met, Big Turtle said that because the island had been made for the woman, there should be more light. Someone said that a light hung in the sky would be well. Then Small Turtle at once answered, "If I could climb into the sky, I could gather together some of the lightning, and make a ball of it." Big Turtle said, "Oh, yes. Try to climb up. You have great power."
At once Small Turtle made medicine, and soon there was a great storm. A cloud full of lightning rolled down towards the council, with a great noise. There were broken rocks and trees in the cloud. It came so near that Small Turtle climbed into the cloud, and went upward with it.
When she reached the Sky Land, Small Turtle gathered much lightning together. She made a ball out of it, and hung it in the sky. After that there was light on the island because the sun shone. Small Turtle also made moon.
# Myths and Legends of British North America/Origin of Haida Land (Haida)

ORIGIN OF HAIDA LAND
Haida
BEFORE the days of the grandfathers there was nothing but water. All was water, except a single reef. Here lived the supernatural beings. They were much crowded. They all lay heaped together. Then Raven flew all about trying to get a footing, but he could alight nowhere.
Then Raven looked at the sky. It was solid. It was very beautiful and Raven was fascinated by it. He said, "I'll go up there," so he ran his beak into the sky and climbed up.
Now in the Sky Land was a large town. The chief lived there and in the chief's house was a baby. When night came, Raven took the baby by the heel and shook all his bones out. Then he crept into the skin and pretended to be the baby. But at night he stole out of the baby's skin and became Raven. He flew into all the houses and made much mischief. Then at last a woman saw him and told all the people.
Then the chief called all the people together and they sang a song for Raven. It was a magic song, and ​in the midst of it the one holding Raven let him fall, and he dropped down out of the Sky Country until he fell upon the great waters.
Now the cradle drifted about on the water for a long time. Raven cried; then he cried himself to sleep; but as Raven slept, something said, "Your powerful grandfather invites you in." Raven sat up quickly. He looked toward the sound, but there was nothing there. Soon the voice said the same words.
Raven looked through the hole in his marten's-skin blanket. Presently up through the water came a grebe saying, "Your powerful grandfather invites you in." Then Raven stood up. His cradle was floating against a kelp with two heads. He stepped upon it, and behold! it was really a two-headed house pole made of stone. When Raven climbed down, he found he could breathe as easily as in the air above.
Beneath the house pole was a house. Someone said, "Come inside, my son, I hear that you come to borrow something from me." Raven entered. In the back part of the house sat old Sea-Gull Man. The old man sent him for a box which hung in the corner. There were four others inside of this. Raven pulled them all apart and took out two long pieces of something. One was black and the other was covered with shining points.
​Sea-Gull Man took the two pieces and showed them to Raven. He said, "Lay this speckled stone in the water first, and this black one last. Then bite off a piece of each, and spit it out and the pieces will reunite;" so he said.
When Raven went out, he put the black piece into the water first. When he had bitten off part of the rock with shining points and laid it in the water, the points rebounded. He had not done as he had been told. Now he went back to the black one, and bit off part of it, and spit it out again. Then the pieces stuck. These were going to become land. He put this into the water, and it stretched itself out and became the Haida Country. Of the other piece he made the Seaward Country — the mainland.

# Myths and Legends of British North America/Owl (Eastern Eskimo)

OWL
Eastern Eskimo
SOMETIMES Owl greatly disturbs a camp of Indians. Short-eared Owl will come to a camp just at the dimming of the twilight, and when the Indians hear his quiet flitting through the trees they are on the alert. Immediately they hang up some robe or leggings which they have not worn, which is just a silent way of saying, "We are not so poor as you think." Owl annoys only poor people.
Owl also likes the lower levels, so the Indians camp often on the higher lands where he does not come.
# Myths and Legends of British North America/Origin of Light (Thompson River)

ORIGIN OF LIGHT
Thompson River
A LARGE dead tree stood near Spence's Bridge. It was full of magic and possessed the power of giving light. At that time the world was always dark. Now Chipmunk did not like the continual darkness, and his friends did not like it, but some of the animals did. And some of the other animals were undecided.
Chipmunk knew that if he set fire to the magic tree near Spence's Bridge, the world would become light again, so he set fire to the roots, and kept poking the ashes away with a stick that the wind might fan the flames. When the tree fell, the earth became light.
Now Grizzly Bear and his friends wanted continual darkness. When that tree fell, Grizzly appeared in a great rage and began to put out the fire by throwing earth on the log and on Chipmunk.
Le pa, Le pa! Dimness, dimness!
Tse ka, tse ka! Light, light, light!
And immediately the fire would flame up and light would come; but when Grizzly Bear threw on more earth it became dark again.
Now both Grizzly and Chipmunk sang as loud and as hard as they could, and sometimes it was light and sometimes it was dark. After a while they both grew tired. Then they agreed that it should be dark part of the time, and light part of the time.
But Grizzly Bear was angry at Chipmunk and chased him into a hole. As Chipmunk scampered into the hole, Grizzly scratched his back. That is the reason Chipmunk has stripes on his back.
# Myths and Legends of British North America/Origin of Races (Cree)

ORIGIN OF RACES
Cree
WHEN Great One made mankind, he first made an earth oven. Then he modeled a man of clay and put him in to bake. He was not baked enough and came out white. Great One tried again, but this time he baked the man too long. He came out black. The third time Great One baked the man just the correct time, and he came out red. That is why different races have different colors.
