THE PRINTER
[i.e., JAMES ROBERTS]
to the Reader.

OBSCURED wonders, Gentlemen! visited me in TURNUS’s armour; and I, in regard of ÆNEAS’s honour, have unclouded them unto the world. You are that universe! You, that ÆNEAS! If you find PALLAS’s girdle, murder them! if not, environed with barbarism, save them! and eternity will praise you.

Vale.
