Being alreadie dead with fearefull fright.

To whom the Priest with naked armes full net

Approching nigh, and murdrous knife well whet,

Gan mutter close a certaine secret charme,

With other diuelish ceremonies met:

Which doen he gan aloft t’aduance his arme,

Whereat they shouted all, and made a loud[536] alarme.

Then gan the bagpypes and the hornes to shrill, xlvi

And shrieke aloud, that with the peoples voyce

Confused, did the ayre with terror fill,
