ABSTRACT
From prefatory material to Weever's Favnus and Melliflora (1600), sig· A4; repro in the edition by A. Davenport (Liverpool, 1948), p. 5:
If for to write of Loue, and Loues delights, Be not fit obiects for the grauer sights, Then stil admired Chaucer, thou maist rue And write thy auncient stories all anew:
And that same Fayry Muse may rise againe, To blot those works that with vs do remaine.
