THE PREFACE TO THE READER.

[_]

The attribution of this poem is questionable.

This Rhapsodie yclep'd Iota,
Is full of matter worth the note-a,
To wit, of words Homerical,
Much mirth, some sense, and faith that's all:


But that you may be wiser, than
A thousand other honest men,
(Who never know, what 'tis they read)
I'll tell you now, 'er I proceed.
