[From the reprint by Bensley & Sons (in 1817) of "The Booke of Demeanor from Small Poems entitled The Schoole of Vertve by Richard Weste," 1619, 12mo.]

To the Reader.

R Ightly conceiue me, and obserue me well,
I Doe what heere is done for Childrens good,
C Hrist in his Gospell (as S. Marke doth tell)
H Ath not forbidden Children, nor withstood
A Ny that should but aske the ready way,
R Egarding Children, not to say them nay.
D Irecting all that came, how faith should be,

W Hat they should crave of Gods high Majestie,
E Ven Salvation, through their faithful Prayer,
S Ending their contemplations into the ayre,
TO his high throne, whose love so guide us all
E Ven to the end we neuer cease to call.

Which to avoyd, then turne about,

and with a napkin hide

That gaping foule deformity,

when thou art so aside.
