In the year 1605, some toldiers of the common
wealtb of Modena ran away with a bucket froth
a public well, belonging to the state of Bologna.
Thisjmplement might be worth a Filling ; but it
produced a quarrel, which was worked up into 1
long and bloody war. Heury, the King of Sgr
dinia, for thb Empferof Henry tfc Second, aff&d
the Affiddentefe to keep pifleffion of tfe "bucket ,—
and in one of the battles he was made prifauetb.
His father, the emperor, offered a chain of gold
that would encircle Bologna, ,hieh il seven n#ktf

being dead, he pined away and died. His monu
