Worthy Sir,
I Should derogate from your worth, to doubt of your pardon, and I
should wrong too much your goodnesse to present the endeavours of some
frothy braine to the triall of your judgement, when the More ignorant
world had already condemned it; but sir, this is one of the coheirs of
much admired, much lamented Fletcher, whose matchlesse Fancies are fit
onely for the perusall of such as you, who have candour and knowledge
so united, that there cannot be a reprive for those Poems you condemne;
accept this weake Testimonie of my Service, and as yours by familiar
acquaintance with them, favourably entertaine these witty conceits
particularly presented unto you, by him who shall glory in nothing more
than to be stiled
The Honorer of
Your Vertues,
_A. C._
