To the Right Vertuous, and Honorable, the Lord and Lady HAYES.

Should I presume to separate you now,
That were so lately joyn'de by holy vow,
For whome this golden dreame which I report
Begot so many waking eyes at Court,
And for whose grace so many nobles chang'd
Their names and habites, from themselves estrang'd?
Accept together, and together view
This little worke which all belongs to you,
And live together many blessed dayes,
To propagate the honour'd name of HAYES.
