Ad Bibliopolam.
Printer or Stationer, or what ere thou prooue,Shalt mee record to Times posteritie:
Ile not enioyne thee, but request in loue,
Thou so much deigne my Booke to dignifie;
As first it bee not with your Ballads mixt,
Next, not at Play-houses, mongst Pippins solde:
Then that on Posts, by th' Eares it stand not fixt,
For euery dull-Mechanicke to beholde.
Last, that it come not brought in Pedlers packs,
To common Fayres, of Countrey, Towne, or Cittie:
Solde at a Booth mongst Pinnes and Almanacks;
Yet on thy hands to lye, thoult' say tw'er pittie;
Let it be rather for Tobacco rent,
Or Butchers-Wiues, next Clensing-weeke in Lent.
