TO THE READER.
REader, to offer thee a piece of Sene∣ca Englished, when the whole is Indenniz'd here, and almost eve∣ry where else, might seeme ridi∣culous; but if his Copious Brevity, and Powerfull Facility, two eminencies peculi∣ar to Seneca, be lost, or at the best, but faintly expressed in those severall Translations, (as perhaps not to be reached by any Prose but his owne) it may be worth an houres paines to see the same in a new way, more patheti∣cally rendred to the life; which in the opini∣on of Iudicious men, thou wilt find in this Po∣eme, provided thou doest not marre it in the reading.
PHILOPHRASTES.
