SONNETS TO THE FAIREST COELIA.
L O N D O N, Printed by ADAM ISLIP, for W. P. 1594. | 1 | ||||
To the Reader. COURTEOUS READER, WHEREAS I was fully determined to have concealed my Sonnets as things privy to myself; yet, of courtesy, having lent them to some, they were secretly committed to the Press and almost finished, before it came to my knowledge. | 2 | ||||
| Wherefore making, as they say, Virtue of Necessity, I did deem it most convenient to prepose my Epistle, only to beseech you to account of them as of toys and amorous devices; and, ere long, I will impart unto the World another Poem, which shall be both more fruitful and ponderous. | 3 | ||||
| In the mean while, I commit these, as a pledge, to your indifferent censures. London, 1594. W. PERCY. | 4 | ||||
