To the Reader.

Reader , if you expect from hence,
For ouerplus of wit or Sence,
I deale with no such Traffique:
Heroicks and lambicks I,
My Buskinde Muse hath laid them by,
Pray bee content with Saphicke.
Drunkard the Dog my Patron is,
And hee doth loue mee well for this,
Whose loue I take for Guerdon;
And hee's a Dog of Mars, his Traine
Who hath seene men and Horses slaine,
The like was neuer heard on.
