The Author's Account of his Poem.
And First he vowes, 'tis not his glory,T'impose on this or that mans story.
He disimbarkes at no false shores,
Nor layes his Infants at wrong dores.
But is assur'd if you proceed,
The Fathers wont renounce their breed.
Next for beleife he tells you that,
No Mandevile, nor Coriat
Is cited here, here no man knowes
The Stories by their Authors Toes:
Nor can descry which was found out,
By him with sockes, or him without.
There's none among them were such Jewes,
To vex and persecute Old Shooes:
And leave their Fame, but carelesse whether
In Brasse or Monumentall leather.
All serious writers, these (nay bolder)
Scarce any but was staid House holder:
And in most parts of Christian Ground.
Their words would passe for forty pound.
Yet let not trust too forward be,
Lest you beleive them more then He.
Where he devotes it, he aimes he saith,
At Recreation, more then faith.
