[The Prince his Emblem shal the man conuince]
The Prince his Emblem shal the man conuince,Who blames my Dedication to the Prince.
That Word still Saxon, shewes he doth protect
From throat of time our ancient Dialect;
And, as the Sense is, sith He serues his Father,
O let vs all him serue so much the rather!
