To the right Wor^ll Sir John Spenser Knighte
Alderman of the honnorable Citty of
London and lorde treasurer of Lady pecunia.

Led by the swifte reporte of winged fame,
with golden trumpet soundinge forth your name,
To you I dedicate this merry Muse
And for my Patron I your fauor chuse.
She is a woman shee muste be respected
Shee is a Queene she muste not be reiected
This is the shaddowe you the substance haue
Which substance no we this shaddowe seemes to craue.
Richard Barnfild.
