Di quésta sómma ti contenti e gódi:
Sómma di Sénno, Amór, Virtù e chiarézza,
E d'Inghilterra Imperatríce ANNA.
Il Cándido.
To my deare friend and brother M. Iohn Florio,
one of the Gentlemen of hir Maiesties Royall
Priuy-chamber.
I stand not to giue praise before the face
Of this great worke, that doth it selfe commend:
But to congratulate the good and grace
That England com's thereby to apprehend:
And in hir name to thanke your industry
