TO HIS HONOURED FRIEND MR ANTH. STAFFORD, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Sir, had my muse gain'd leisure to confer
Last Line: That should have rather begg'd your rigour then.
Subject(s): Plays & Playwrights


SIR, had my muse gain'd leisure to confer
With your sharp judgment, ere I ventur'd her
On such an audience, that my comedy
Had suffer'd by thy obelisk and thee;
It needed not of just applause despair,
Because those many blots had made it fair.
I now implore your mercy to my pen,
That should have rather begg'd your rigour then.
