What to the Sovereign under whom they live:
What quarter Christians have; how just and free
90To inoffensive travellers they be:
Though I confess, like stomachs fed with news,
I took them in for wonder, not for use,
Till your experienc'd and authentic pen
Taught me to know the places and the men;
And made all those suspected truths become
Undoubted now, and clear as axiom.
Sir, for this work more than my thanks is due;
