This noble Nennius well the time hath spent.
I would haue staide, if he had spoken more:
’Twas his departure, troubled me so sore.
(Quoth he) thou must a whyle yet longer byde:
In fewe he shall declare, how he hath sped
That commes. And euen with that I lookt aside,
And sawe a coarse approache without a head.
What now (quoth I) though erste (by thee) the dead
Were causde to speake, declaring all their will,
Yet speach of headlesse men doth passe my skill.
