YOu will wonder I am sure considering my profession to see me become a Poet. And indeed I do almost maruell at it my selfe knowing my selfe to want the two principal furtherances of Poetry the one is natures instinct a They say Poëta nascitur if a man be not as it were a Poet borne hee shall neuer prooue excellent in that faculty which God in his holy prouidence hath denyed me the other is a certaine retired freedom from all such businesses which may breed distraction b Carmina secessū scribentis otia quaerunt Ouid. de Trist which my publike Calling besides priuate encombrances will not afford me Yet notwithstāding vpon this present occasion I haue euen forced my selfe to this straiter course of Verse-making though I know that for mine owne case hauing to deale in such a distempered and vnruly Subiect that lesse-limited freer kind of discourse which Prose alloweth had bene more conuenient Because the rules of Cadence number to which our English Poetry especially is cōfined do many times so straiten an vnaccustomed Practitioner that he is in hazzard either of obscuring the sence which in a matter of this nature were something dangerous or of marring the Verse which to the apprehension of euery common conceit were very ridiculous But howsoeuer I haue erred in the carriage of this verse I hope to you and to others whose fauour eyther because of their Iudgement or their honesty I desire this shall excuse me that meeting with our common Aduersary who appeareth sometime in shape of a States-man debating of Titles and Common-wealth affayres c Witnesse the Quodlibets Dolman c. sometime as a Petitioner to the King and Parliament d At the Kings first cōming now since the Parliamēt sometime as a plausible perswader e Bristowes Motiues Bookes of that nature sometime as a Restorer of the holy Text to the natiue purity thereof f Rhem.
