The other night being at supper with a sort of hungry fellowes, while I did greedily put a great morsell of meate in my mouth, that was fried with the flower of cheese and barly, it cleaved so fast in the passage of my throat and stopped my winde in such sort, that I was well nigh choked. And yet at Athens before the porch, there called Peale, I saw with these eyes a Iugler that swallowed up a two hand sword, with a very keene edge, and by and by for a little money, that we that looked on gave him, hee devoured a chasing speare with the point downeward. And after that hee had conveyed the whole speare within the closure of his body, and brought it out againe behind, there appeared on the top therof (which caused us all to marvell) a faire boy pleasant and nimble, winding and turning himself in such sort, that you would suppose he had neither bone nor gristle, and verily thinke that he were the naturall Serpent, creeping and sliding on the knotted staffe, which the god of Medicine is feigned to beare.
– Apuleius, The Golden Ass, translated by William Adlington (1566)
