TO THE HONOURABLE AND VIRTUOUS LADY, THE LADY TASBURGH.

That when encrease of Age and Learning sets
My Minde in wealthi'r state then now it is,
Ile pay a greater portion of my debts,
Or morgage you a better Muse then this;
Till then, no kinde forbearance is amisse;
While, though I owe more then I can make good,
This is inough, to shew how faine I woo'd.
Your Ladiships in all humblenes, William Bas.
