The Booke to his Readers
Good friends with fauor me peruse,halfe naked though Ibee,
Or not attierd so gallantlie,
as you desire to see.
Yet this from me your selues assure,
such substance here to find,
As shall bring hope vnto the hart,
and comfort to the mind.
Oft vnder short and simple weed,
such vertue may be found,
As vnder pall of purple hew
that traileth on the ground.
I being good am not the worse,
though clothing mine be bad,
He that bestowd the same on me,
did giue the best he had.
In whose behalfe I humbly pray,
and for my selfe also,
You would vouchsafe to mind those faults,
that in my cote ye kno.
Vale.
