MISSELANIES Or, fifty Years GATHERINGS, Out of Sundry Authors in Prose and Verse.
Being the studious Readings, painful Col∣lections, and some of them are the Compo∣sings of the Writer and Publisher heerof.
To the Reader.
All these things heer collected, are not mine,
But divers Grapes, make but one sort of Wine:
So I from many Learned Authours took
The Various Matters Printed in this Book.
What's not mine own, by me shall not be Father'd,
The most part, I in 50. Years have gather'd;
Some things are very good, pick out the best,
Good Wits compil'd them, and I wrote the Rest:
If thou dost buy it, it will quit thy cost,
Read it, and all thy labour is not lost.
JOHN TAYLOR.
LONDON,
Printed in the Yeare, 1652.
