All the workes of Iohn Taylor the Water-Poet | ||
TO ALL MY LOVING ADVENTVRERS, BY VVHAT NAME OR TITLE SOEVER, MY GENERALL SALVTATION.
That I should write of Cities situations,Or that of Countries I should make relations:
Of brooks, crooks, nooks; of riuers, boorns and rills,
Of mountaines, fountaines, Castles, Towres and hills.
Of Shieres, and Pieres, and memorable things,
Of liues and deaths of great commanding Kings,
I touch not those, they not belong to mee:
But if such things as these you long to see,
Lay downe my Booke, and but vouchsafe to reede
The learned Camden, or laborious Speede.
And so God speede you and me, whilst I rest
yours in all thankefulnesse: Io: Taylor
