The Authours Friend to the Readers upon his perusal of the Work.
Lo here Antiquity, what think you, Sirs,To see a Poem drest in Boots and Spur;
A short Cloak, and long Breeches, in the fashion
Of those that liv'd before us in this nation:
'Tis pretty (faith) and pleasant for to see
How we with Antiquity disagree.
And to that purpose here my loving friend
His Conjuring-glass unto the World doth lend;
Where both his worth appearing we may finde,
And Chaucer's Ghoast, or else we all are blinde.
