[Kind friend, as thou didst once the favour gaine]

Kind friend, as thou didst once the favour gaine,
Great Britaines Mightie Prince to entertaine;
So entertaine these Verses I have penn'd,
As my remembrance unto thee my friend:
Thou knowst (by old experience) that I love thee;
And if thou lov'st mee, I will one day prove thee.
