To the Honourable and Virtuous Lady, the Lady Tasburgh.
IF your Ladyship hath not before this time very iustly expected the best of∣fice of my Muse, it is now time for me to be voluntarily ashamed, that you should so long forbeare the vse of so many honourable encouragements. But (alas) finding my abilitie too little to make the meanest satisfaction of so great a Principall as is due to so many fauourable curtesies, I am bold to tender your 〈◊〉〈◊〉 this vnworthy Interest, wherewithall I will put in good securitie, that assoone as Time shall relieue the necessitie of my young inuention, I will disburse my Muse to the vttermost mite of my power, to make some more acceptable composition with your bounty: In the meane space, liuing without hope to be euer sufficient inough to yeeld your Worthinesse the smallest halfe of your due, I doe onely desire to leaue your Ladyship in 〈◊〉〈◊〉▪
That when encrease of Age and Learning, sets My Monde in wealthi'r state then now it is, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 pay a greater portion of my debts, O•• mo••gage you a better Muse then this, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 then, no kinde for bearance is amisse, While, though I owe more then I can make good, 〈◊〉〈◊〉 is inough, to thevv hovv fame I woo'd.Your Ladiships in all humblenes, Willam Bas.
