[A worthy Lady of great eminence]

A worthy Lady of great eminence,
Who holds all borrowed beauty in disdaine,
Out of whose wisedome shines her excellence,
The Muses are attendant on her traine,
And they doe her and she doth them sustaine,
Her acute iudgement did vouchsafe to reede,
An Epigrame which this Booke doth containe,
And pai'd in words what she will pay in deed,
(For Ladies nere make promises in vaine)
Were so much giuen for one ist not a fall,
That for a Tester (Reader) thou hast all.
