Ad Libellum suum.
Goe without Dedication, for that mightImply I sought to Shelter what I write
Under some Patronage: I can afford
None Sharers in this Offering with my Lord:
His are both Line and Leisure, which mis-spent,
The fault lyes on th' unhappy Instrument
That should improve both better: But 'tis done,
And Thy fate is decree'd, thy woof is spun;
Censure must passe: Yet Blush not since thy Strings
Are onely consonant with holy things.
