At the Bohemian court our poet renewed a very amicable acquaintance with two accom- plished prelates, Ernest, Archbishop of Pardowitz, and John Oczkow, Bishop of Olmiitz. Of these churchmen he speaks in the warmest terms, and he afterwards corresponded with them. We find him returned to Milan, and writing to Simonides on the 20th of September. Simonides concludes his answer by saying, " You ask me to find you a good housekeeper; I found one that would have suited you — a woman rather more than ...forty-five years old, cleanly, clever, with good man- ners and great skill in cookery, but I am sorry to say that I cannot persuade her to go to you. She objects to service, because she can maintain herself by her distaff. " Some days after Petrarch's return from Ger- many, a courier arrived at Milan with news of the battle of Poitiers, an ever-memorable battle, in which eighty thousand French were defeated by thirty thousand Englishmen, and in which King John of France was made prisoner. Petrarch 1356.
