Dedication. 99
But if I did I durft not fend them you Who muft reward a Thief, but with his due. I fhall not need, mine innocence to clear Thefe ragged lines, will do't, when they appear: On what they are, your mild afpeft I crave Accept my beft, my worft vouchfafe a Grave.
From her that to your felf, more duty owes Then water in the boundefs Ocean flows.
