Most
lines do not the best conceit containe,
Few wordes well coucht may comprehend much matter:
Then, as to vse the first is counted vaine,
So is't praise-worthy to conceit the latter,
The grauest wittes that most graue workes expect,
The qualitie, not quantitie respect.

The smallest sparke will cast a burning heat:
Base cottages may harbour things of woorth,
Then though this Volume be, nor gay, nor great,
Vnder your protection I set foorth,
Do not with coy disdainefull ouersight
Deny to reade this well meant orphanes mite.

And since his father in his infancie
Prouided patrons to protect his heire,
But now by death none sparing crueltie
Is turnd an orphane to the open aire:
I his vnworthy foster-sire haue darde,
To make you patronizers of this warde.
