TO THE MOST ROYALL LADY ELIZABETHA, Infanta of England; Princess Palatine of Rhine.

Sweet Grace of Graces, Glory of Your Age,
Lustre of Vertves (Morall and Divine)
Whose Sacred Raies (already) far out-shine
Your Princely State, Your Royall Parentage;
Heer, to your Highnes (with all Good-Presage,
Congratuling Your little Palatine)
I consecrate This Little-One of Mine
To serve Your Self, first; then, Your Son, for Page.
Your gracious Favours to my former Brood,
So binde my Thoughts, so bolden my Desires,
To shew Mee gratefull, as I knowe You good;
That Thus to Yov, This Little Mine aspires:
Little in Growth; yet of so great a Spirit,
As (happely) Your Graces grace may merit.
To your Highness Service, Duly and Truly devoted, Iosvah Sylvester.
