To the right Honorable Sir George Viliers,
Knight Baron of Whaddon: L. Vicount Viliers: Earle of Bvckingham: Mr
of the Horse to his Maiesty: & Knight of the most Noble Order of the Garter, &c.
Your Noble Order, and your hallowed Name,
Your Soverain's Favour, and your owne Profession,
Promise Your Valour towards the Suppression
Of Heathen Foes that Christian
Faith defame:
Hence, heer presume wee (by the Trump of Fame)
To call your Aid against the proud Oppression
Of th'Infidel, vsurping Faith's Possession,
That Indian Tyrant, onely England's Shame.
Thousands of Ours heer hath Hee Captive taken,
Of all Degrees, kept vnder slavish Yoak,
Their God, their Good, King, Country, Friends forsaken,
To follow Folly, and to feed on Smoak.
Bee God our Guide, St. George our Generall;
Wee shall repell Him, and redeem Them All.
At Your Lordships Command, I.S. The humble Eccho of the Muses.
