3. To the Right Honourable Philip Earl of Chesterfield, Baron of Shelford, &c.

Philip the second! Earl of Chesterfield!
I a request have, and I hope you'l yield:
Yet I (in modesty) long time have stuck
From making it; And 'tis but for a Buck:
Bestow one on me, and on this good reason,
I will not ask again till the next season.
