To the Right Honourable, the Lord Johnstonn

Loe, by the Muses nine charged am I,
O noble Peere unto the Lords on by ,
Respecting each according to his place:
Declare must I how them the Muses grace.

I know them not, 'tis true; but yet the Muses
Have skill enough, and Learnings Art infuses
On rather into those who have a will
Nobly their workes with Heroes acts to fill.
So, since I am commanded thus to wright,
These letters will not blush, if they not right
On: as their Letters reads, so I doe frame
Vnto by Lords each severall Anagramme:
Nor doe I Satyrize within the same.
