TO THE REVEREND FATHER IN GOD, Theophilvs, LORD BISHOP of Landaff; sent with the Booke, and crauing his iudicious censure.
My Lord, since you were here, I writ a Song,I know not how to like it, 'cause 'tis mine:
Ballad you may not call it; 'tis too long:
Nor bawble, sith the subiect is diuine.
Not as a Friend, but as a Iudge, reade right:
May it deserue the darknesse, or the Light?
Io. Stradlyng.
