Esteemed friend, I pray thee take it kinde,

That outward action beares an inward minde,

What objects heere these papers do deliver,

Bestow the viewing of them for the giver.

I make thee a partaker of strange sights,

Drawne antique works of humours vaine delights.

A mirrour of the mad conceited shapes,

Of this our ages giddy-headed apes,

These fash’on mongers, selfe besotted men

Of kindred to the fowle that wore my pen,
