The Poetry of George Wither, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Poetry of George Wither, Vol. 2 These were his speeches; and, if you looked for a prologue, thus much he wished me to tell you ia stead thereof; because, as he said, he himself had somewhat else to do. Yet, to acknowledge the truth, I was so earnest with him that, as busy ashe would seem to be, I got him to write this epistle for me; and have thereunto set my name; which he wished me to confess, partly to avoid the occasion of belying my invention, and partly because he thought some of you would suppose so much. I entreated him to explain his meaning in certain obscure passages; but he told me how that were to take away the employment of his interpreters. Whereas, he would purposely leave somewhat remain ing doubtful, to see what Sir Politic Would-be and his companions could pick out of it.
