TO THE RIGHT HONORABLE AND RELIGIOVS PATTERNES OF VERTVE, AND PATRONS of Learning, EDWARD, Lord DEN∣NIE, Baron of Waltham, and his most noble Sonne IAMES Lord HAY.
RIght Honourable Lords, though vnworthie and vnknowne (as n••t wor∣thy to be known to your Lordships) I want that good opinion begot by foreknowledge, which, like a pleasing glasse that makes any thing that is seene through it seeme better then it is, might set a faire glosse vpon the forefront of this rude Poem; yet not doub∣ting, but that your Honours will vouchsafe to

looke vpon my imperfections herein, with more affection out of passion for the deads sake, whom here I honor, then iudgement out of reason to discusse, how vnworthie I am to dis∣course of such Honor. I presume to offer vp in my Walthams Complaint this funerall Obsequie, or mournefull M••nodia, at the sh••ine of your Fauours, as the Sacrifice of my last dutie to that most Noble, and to you most deare, dead Ladie; of whom liuing, by her Sisters teares, my Muse in her first Infancie of being knowne, finding gratious acceptance, but depriu'd the fruition thereof through ineuitable chaunce, and ho∣ping with her weake breath to reuiue those sparks that my inforc't absence had rakt vp in the ashes of obliuion, lately singing the Image of her Honer, was (alas tha: I should say shee was) too suddainly thunder-striken by that vnlookt for Dart of Death, in top of all her hopes. Wherefore both of that consecrated to her Honor, then liuing, and of this, deuoted to your ••ordships, in honor of her now dead, most humbly crauing your gracious Protections, I liue
Your Honours most ••umbly at c••m∣mand. R. N.
