‘Egil took a hazel pole and went to a rock facing inland. Then he took a horse’s head, and put it at the end of a pole.

Afterwards, he made an invocation saying: “Here I set upon this scorn pole and turn its scorn on King Erik and Queen Gunnhild”

Zimri or The Duke of Buckingham as described by John Dryden in ‘Absalom and Achitophel’

Character

A man so various, that he seemed to be
Not one, but all mankind’s epitome:
Stiff in opinions, always in the wrong;
Was everything by starts, and nothing long;
But, in the course of one revolving moon,
Was chymist, fiddler, statesman and buffoon.
