TO THE GENTLEMEN READERS.

Ivdiciall Readers, wise Apolloes flocke,
Whose eyes like keyes doe open learnings locke;
Daigne with your eye-lampes to behold this booke,
And in all curtesie thereon to looke:
Thus being patronized by your view,
I shall not be ashamed of his hew.
Oh graunt my suite, my suite you vnderstand,
That I may you commend, you me command.
Io. La.
