Noble Lady, hear me,

Not as my Fathers son, but as your servant,

Vouchsafe to hear me, for such in my duty,

I ever will appear: and far be it from

My poor ambition, ever to look on you,

But with that reverence, which a slave stands bound

To pay a worthy Mistris: I have heard

That Dames of highest place, nay Queens themselves

Disdain not to be serv'd by such as are

Of meanest Birth: and I shall be most happie,
