The king was dead: no warres the people knewe,

And eke themselues to stryue at home begon.

It were (quoth I) a noble acte well don

To win it then: and therewithall did make

Prouision good, this famous Ile to take.

A warlike regall campe prouided was,

And shippes, and vittayle, for my Hunnes and mee,

By sea to Britayne conquest for to passe,

If Gods thereto or heauenly starres agree.
