    The dog Boye (died 2 July 1644 at the battle of Marston Moor), also Boy, was a celebrated and iconic white hunting poodle belonging to Prince Rupert of the Rhine in the 17th century. Puritan or Roundhead propagandists alleged that the dog was "endowed" with magical powers.

    Origins

    Boye was first given to Prince Rupert when he was imprisoned in the fortress of Linz during the Thirty Years War. The Earl of Arundel, an Englishman who had grown concerned about Rupert's plight, gave him the animal to keep him company during his confinement. The dog was a rare breed of white hunting poodle; Boye was sufficiently impressive and famous across Europe that the Ottoman Sultan of the day, Murad IV, requested that his ambassador attempt to find him a similar animal. Boye accompanied Rupert during his travels until 1644.

    Propaganda and magical powers

    Boye accompanied his master from 1642 to 1644 during the English Civil War. Rupert was the iconic Royalist cavalier of the conflict and was frequently the subject of Parliamentarian propaganda. Boye, who often accompanied Rupert into battle, featured heavily in this, and was widely suspected of being a witch's familiar. There were numerous accounts of Boye's abilities; some suggested that he was the Devil in disguise.

    That Day

    by: Poe

    Tomorrow's coming 'round
    A hair-pin curve in the road
    She's got a run in her stocking
    And she's missing the heel of her shoe
    Got up this morning rolled out of bed
    I spilled a diet coke
    Called my mother said, "Hi"
    What I meant to say was, "Why is your life a joke?"
    Then, I went down to that ugly bar and
    I clicked my heels three times just like you said
    And I climbed that road to your empty house
    The anticipation was a turn on
    But you let me down
    'Coz, I stood on that empty street alone
    I said, "I'm ready for my close up now, Mr. Demille"
    I waited for the light, but it never shone
    Well I wonder what you do with that expensive piece of land
    That overlooks a billion years of history
    I have a sneaking suspicion, you will never understand
    Hey maybe I'll see you down by the Rocky and Bullwinkle
    And we can talk to that charlatan psychic
    And she can paint a prettier picture of your future
    'Coz that day in my life, that day in my life
    I dreamt tomorrow, had a prettier face
    I dreamt tomorrow, would have better things to say
    Than, "You look like shit, what's your problem, bitch?
    You're legs feel like sandpaper, you can't do anything right"
    'Coz that day, never should have taken place
    'Coz this day, in my life still cannot explain
    Why I listened in the first place to you?
    Oh yeah, something else
    I hope one day you call up your father
    And you have the guts to tell him, how he hurt you
    And he made you hurt another
