The Preface.

If any stomacke be so weake as that it cannot brooke,
The lively setting forth of things described in this booke,
I give him counsell to absteine untill he bee more strong,
And for to use Vlysses feat ageinst the Meremayds song.
Or if he needes will heere and see and wilfully agree
(Through cause misconstrued) unto vice allured for to bee,
Then let him also marke the peine that dooth therof ensue,
And hold himself content with that that to his fault is due.


FINIS.
