[_]

The Design of this Poem, begins (after the Method of Pindar) to one great Man, and rises to another; first touches the Duke, then celebrates the Actions of the King, and so returns to the Praises of the Duke again. Thus the Muses, playing on their Lyres, to make up Harmony, first strike one, and then another String.
