[New-England so nam'd by your Princely Grace]

New-England so nam'd by your Princely Grace,
Dread Soveraigne, now, most humbly sues to see
Your Royall Highnes in your Regall place,
Wishing your Grace all peace, blisse, soveraignty,
Trusting your Goodnesse will her state and fame
Support, wch goodnesse once vouchsaf'd her name.

If thou Apollo hold'st thy Scepter forth.
To these harsh numbers that's thy Royall worth.
Vaine is all search in these to search that vaine,
Whose stately style is great Apolloes straine.
Minerva ne're distil'd into my Muse
Her sacred droppes, my pumeise wants all iuce.
My Muse is plaine conscise her fam's to tell
In truth, and method. Loue, or leaue: Farewell.
