The Designe.
The Curtaine open'd, gives our Hand(At Second Hand) thus to your Eye;
One Obiect in varietie,
One Sūm'd draught doth before you Stand:
Weigh the whole proiect first; & though you want
Iudgment, or Rule
Like Children, love the Rabble for the Paint,
And Speake at least your Selfe to be noe Foole;
Kings are the Subiect, you may slight
It meerlie, as a Tumor'd Rage
In Fancie; but the Critick Age,
Loves it with Deare Delight;
And Colours to the Life, our paines, in Black & white.
