TO THE HONOVRABLE AND TRVLY Noble, Sir ROBERT CARR, Knight, one of the Gentlemen of his Maiesties Royall Bed-chamber, &c.

TIs not in expectation of reward, That I this booke vnto your hands doe ten∣der; But in my humble dutie, in regard That I am bound my daily thanks to render. And though my stile be harsh my learning slender, My Verse defectiue, and my Accent rude; Yet if your Patronage be my Defender, Iam defended'gainst a multitude. Thus (to auoyd Hell-hatch'd ingratitude, My dutious Love) my Liues, and Life shall be, To you deuoted euer to conclude, May you and your most vertuous Ladie see Long happie dayes, in Honour still encreasing; And after death, true Glorie neuer ceasing.

Your Honours in all seruice, Iohn Taylor,
