THE AUTHOR To his Honorable Friends.

What such a weak foundation can support,
yo' have read, which well may serve the vulgar sort,
as a good Winters tale, where brown bowl sence,
may stagger the attentive Audience.
At least so highly please, that the whole pack
shall swear, in Ale's more vertue then in Sack.
But how amongst your worthier Brests, t'will take,
or what impression in your judgments make.
Lo, I submit too, yet date hope no less,
Then that your mercy'l save me from the Press;
which if I am squeez'd to Death with, tis my fate,
some Dye with too much, I for want of wait.
