The Author vpon his infant Poeme.
If ought's amisse, imputed let it be,To th' time wherein this Poeme it was writ,
Which was (I must confesse) my infancy
Of Age, Art Iudgement, Knowledge, and of Wit:
Nor doe I thinke it would this time befit,
To meddle with my youths minority.
Vnpolisht and vnhewd, I therefore send it
Freely to th' World, that she may friendly mend it.
