Some whimsy

I recently received some Renaissance music scored for guitar called Nonesuch and at the bottom of the modern notation is found a reproduction of ancient text describing, I think, a dance called the ‘Nonesuch’. I’ve attached a copy of the page bottom for a whimsical moment.

I was interested to find Horatio Hornblower captaining a ship named the Nonsuch in one of the novels of the 11 book series set in the early 1800s too.
