Honoured Sir: THe love of virtue, in all ages, hath made some persons illustrious, whose sublime spirits, and choice judgements, have prompted them to cherish the Arts: whereby their names have been magnified in their life, and their memories perpetuated after death. So in this our age, Fame hath deservedly voted and enstiled you, an eminent Maecenas, for frequenting the Academies, and exercises of science, and for countenance and beneficence to Arts and Artists, which renders you truly pious, prudent, and peerless. More particularly, you have honoured Music: of whose divine excellencies, all other Arts participate, which may glory, to be as ancient as Time, and expect to live eternally. To your transcendent Nobleness, and constant love to our Art, I humbly sacrifice this poor Tribute of my service confessing, I am old, my fruit is in Autumn, and falleth at your feet, yet if you favourably reflect thereon, and your obsequious followers grace me to gather it up, and present it to you, it may prove more pleasing to your judicious taste, and delightful to the palate of others. Your patronage and cognisance, will protect it from the venom of Envy and Ignorance, which if you descend to vouchsafe, you shall highly oblige, Honoured Sir, Yours ever humbly devoted loyally to serve you, MICHAEL EAST.
