Verses, Written on a Collection of Manuscript Songs

Couplet.
Were I the king — the king of song I mean,
As oft to style me secret flatterers use —
A young usurper would be plainly seen,
In your collection, by my troubled Muse:
For such good hints, in such good verse set down,
To the poor dreaded people doth it bring,
That it would shake my sceptre and my crown,
Were I the king.
