To my deare Friend Mr. Charles Aleyn.

VVhen Fame had sayd, thy Poem should come out
Without a Dedication; some did doubt
If fame in that had told a truth, but I,
Who knew her false, boldly gave fame the lye,
For I was certaine that this booke by thee,
Was Dedicated to Eternity.
Thy true lover, Ed. Prideaux.
