Letters and poems in honour of the incomparable princess, Margaret, Dutchess of Newcastle.

MOST EXCELLENT PRINCESS,

THe Obligations by which your Grace has eminently engaged your Servants in par∣ticular, and in General the whole world, or at least the Judicious and Civil part of it, are so many and great, that to ennumerate them to this present Age may seem a large History, and to Gene∣rations to come a real Romance. The happiness was so great we received the last year, when we had, by your Graces Permission, the Honour to pay our Duties to your happy self, that the Contemplation of it by your Grace's absence, adds the more to our Infelicity. But we shall not wholly despair to be Page  121 restored to the same capacity of waiting on your Grace, which we are extreamly ambitious of: In the mean time presenting my Wifes most humble Ser∣vice to your Grace, I take the confidence to sub∣scribe my self,

April, 22. 1668.

MADAM, Your Graces very great Honourer, And most Devoted Humble Servant,

BERKLEY.
