MOst Mighty Prince I doubt not but the world may deeme me ouer-audacious and you this worke tedious and troublesome the former that I should presume to dedicate such an indigested immature Embrio to your Hignesse the latter in regard you Highnesses eyes haue diuersity and multitudes of more worthy obiects To the first J answer that by how much the worke is more meane by so much it hath more need of a mighty Protector and therefore though they may deeme me impudent yet it is not a thing imprudent but important that it should seeke to shelter it selfe vnder the patronage of your Highnesse To the next J beseech your Highnesse nam nil nisi vota supersunt not so much to respect the weakenesse of the worke as the willingnesse of the Author to performe duty vnto your mighty Personage who though hee cannot goe for ability yet he creepeth to offer this Sacrifice vnto you and is emboldned through the abundance of obedient loue to cast this mite into the treasurie of your Highnesse Farre be it from me with the Ape in the Fable who brought her young ones to the Lion as the most amorous and beautifull to present this issue of my braines and off-spring of my labours as worthy of the view of your Highnesse Oh no I am no waies guiltie of such a Philautie but in regard your royall selfe is the Subiect of which it treateth shewing the happinesse which is deriued by the most fortunate contract betweene your Highnesse and that most incomparable Lady and pure Virgin of France in which though with a weake vnable pensile J haue drawne forth and portraied the diuine parts of your princely Personages of the which though all knew some yet some knew not all which J haue related in the which description and map of your perfections if I haue failed as J cannot hope to the contrary I humbly craue pardon and prostrate my selfe at the feet of your mercifull censure beseeching you that the true affection of the Author may couer the imperfection of the worke The reasons which moued me to this boldnesse to craue your Highnesse his Patronage were these First in respect you are the chiefe Subiect of this Marriage Song the which Subiect though it be impossible for mee to honour by my worke yet it is most certaine my worke is honoured by it Secondly in regard as you for all vertues are the adamant of admiration from all men so most especially for your resplendent vertue of humility who though you be high in Maiesty yet you are low in minde and despise not but incourage men though weake impotent in any good enterprises and vertuous endeuours that so being nourished by your fauour cōforted with your countenance they might increase and grow in goodnesse and in fine attaine to the summe of all perfections Moreouer J know that I doe not onely owe my labours and all that J haue to your Highnesse who are the Conduit by which God conueys felicity not only to me but Millions of people the which constrained mee in gratitude to consecrate this worke vnto you Reiect not therefore these fruits of my Industry which were inuented presented out of meere respect to your Highnesse and the ioy conceiued for the late contract with France and as you are the patterne of all vertues so vouchsafe to bee the Patron of this booke which is but an abridgement the compendium of them an expression of the happinesse which is likely to be an attendant and follower of this your intended and promised mariage with the Lady Henrette Maria Daughter to Henry the Fourth King of the French Nauarre Sister to Lewis the Thirteenth now French King the which grieuing to see that none more able than my selfe would vndertake J though with weakenesse haue performed Let therefore this booke which was written onely for your Highnesse is Dedicated to your Highnesse be accepted of your Highnesse of the which not despairing J wish vnto your Highnesse a higher than the highest Happinesse that you may haue a long and fortunate life remaine the comforter of your friends the Conquerer of your enemies and be the Father of many happy Children Your Highnesse most obseruant George Marcelline TO THE MOST ILLVSTRIOVS AND euery waies accomplisht Prince George Duke of Buckingham Viscount
