<H 001><A MARSTON><K PLAY><Y 1965><T TITLE>TO MY EQUAL READER
<T PROSE>I have never more endeavored to know myself than to be
known of others; and rather to be unpartially beloved of
all, than factiously to be admired of a few. Yet so power-
fully have I been enticed with the delights of poetry, and
(I must iungeniously confess) above better desert so fortunate
in these stage-pleasings, that (let my resolutions be never so
fixed to call mine eyes into myself) I much fear that most
lamentable death of him,
<T VERSE>%Qui nimis notus omnibus%,
%Ignotus moritur sibi.%_Seneca.
<T PROSE>But since the over-vehement pursuit of these delights
hath been the sickness of my youth, and now is grown to be
the vice of my firmer age since to satisfy others, I neglect
myself, let it be the courtesy of my peruser, rather to pity
my self hind'ring labors than to malice me, and let him be
pelased to be my reader, and not my interpreter, since I
would fain reserve that office in . . .
