In Laudem Operis.
IN this Fantastick Age, whilst every Fool Usurps Apollo's Fortune-telling-Stool, Offers to prate at randome Peace or Wars, And Hucksters out Twelve-penny Chops of Stars, 'Tis rare a sober Artist should appear; But such, kinde Reader, thou art blest with here. One that Ʋrania's Beauties doth expose, And in plain Language all her secrets shews; Who chides this freedom, and bids him give o're, Asham'd he thus should take up all before: Yet the bold Lad neglectful of her Cries, Spreads her abroad, who huggs the dear surprize; And sporting in these Sheets, through every Page, Begets a lusty Artist for next Age. But I'm too Airy— Well, i'th' Book each line, I'm sure is solid, except these of mine.H. C.
