To his respected Uncle John Davis of The Greenway in Hereford-Shire.
Sir, to requite the many courtesiesI have receiv'd from you, my Muse denies
As impossible, yet you see she hates
Ingratitude, for that she dedicates
This Book to her relations and friends,
As so many cred'tors to make amends
In part for all their loves without delayes,
Knowing that he owes most that nothing payes.
I hope you will accept from me this mite,
For that although 'tis smal, 'tis weight, not light,
And having tri'd, you are like Persia's King,
Who much would give, & take the smallest thing.
I rest your loving Kinsman, John Davis.
