TO THE SACRED MAIESTIE OF MY DREAD SOVERAIGNE Lord the King.

These Verses present in your Royall view,
Presumed not to presse into this roome:
But brought as prisoners to receiue from you,
Of Death, or Life, as likes you best, the doome.
Thus th'Author and his rimes both prostrate lie,
And as your Highnesse saies, say they, and J.
Your Maiesties most humble and faithfull Subiect and Seruant: Iohn Stradlyng.
