LETTER to the King.
Great Royal Sir; I have thus far comply'dWith your Desires, which seem not satisfi'd:
Tho may my self now Staler grown appear,
Strong, powerful grounds do cause me to forbear.
Intreat withal, You'l Pardon and Excuse;
Much Beauteous Choice, unlikely to Refuse
This City yields: thus gently stoop, Dispense;
Nor take from That I cannot Grant Offence.
DORASTA.
