Did I somehow get magic wishing into the cornfield powers over the last couple of days?

This is peak 16th century French diplomat.
"The Story of the Death of Anne Boleyn is a critical edition and translation of a long narrative poem written by the secretary to the French ambassador in London within two weeks of Anne Boleyn’s execution in 1536.
