‘But time upon my waste committed hath such theft,
‘That it of Arthur here scarce memory hath left.’
The Nine-ston’d trophy thus whilst she doth entertain,
Proud Tamer swoops along with such a lusty train,
As fits so brave a flood, two countries that divides:
So to increase her strength, she from her equal sides,
Receives their several rills; and of the Cornish kind,
First taketh Atre in; and her not much behind
Comes Kensey: after whom, clear Enjan in doth make,
In Tamer’s roomthier banks, their rest that scarcely take.
