Let not your slights or nescio's (though most just)

60Condemn my muse to be enseil'd with dust,

Nor let presumption hoist to your embrace.

But rather let your honour bate its place

And stoop unto my measures, since the name

Of patron awes oft times the breath of fame;

And by this honour shall you e'er engage

The knee, hand, duty, air, and thriving age

Of your honour's ever

humbly devoted,
