unknown author

“ Truth herselfe often told me I made verses with my heart, not my head; which, as she did not, I hope you will not disapprove, because, though ther is nothing of ornament in them, ther can be nothing of stratagem, to which she had ever a strange antipathy, as the same author better expresseth than I ever could, who so much more loved it:
Those that best knew her, knew not whether were,
Her heart more single, or her head more cleare. ”

“ Offer himselfe in sacrifice by prayer.
Deare Cosen, I cannot let my folly appeare to you without my apology. You shall receave my confession, and 1 doe pennance in the same place wher I comitt the fault; which I hope will procure pitty for offering to write to you of you, and upon this occasion. ”
