To the learned, and accomplisht Gentleman,
Maister Nicholas Blackleech,
of Grayes Inne.

O you, that know the tuch of true Conceat;

(Whose many gifts I neede not to repeat)

I vvrite these Lines; fruits of vnriper yeares;

Wherein my Muse no harder censure feares:

Hoping in gentle Worth, you will them take;

Not for the gift, but for the giuers sake.
