On the Ale of Derby V. Cambden by Hen of Averanches Nescio quod Stygiæ Monstrum conforme paludi, Cervisiam pleriq[ue] vocant; nil spissius illa Dum bibitur, nil clarius est dum mingitur, unde Coustat quod multas fæces in ventre reliquit.

[Of] this strange drinke, so like to Stygian Lake, [which] term it Ale) I wote not what to make; [Fo]lke drink it thicke, and pipe it passing thin, Much dregges therefore must needs remaine within.

De Lacu in Staffordia

Bujitu Lacus est eventus præcefutum; Cujas aquis ferase credare multa solet. Instet odora canum virtus, mon instat acemba, Nontamen intrabit ex agitata lacum

Of a Lake in Staffordshire

A lake there is that roareth loud, whedy things are forshhowne, The water whereof once to take wild beasts were never knowne. ? Hounds, let death pursue apace them for to overtake. [for] all this chance and hot pursuite, none enter will the Lake.
