English poem
Prefixed to Book ij. of Primaleon, &c. Translated by Anthony Munday (1619). - OF THE WORKE and Translation.
If in opinion of iudiciall wit, Primaleons sweet Invention well deserue: Then he (no lesse) which hath translated it, Which doth his sense, his forme, his phrase, obserue. And in true method of his home-borne stile, (Following the fashion of a French conceate) Hath brought him heere into this famous Ile, Where but a stranger, now hath made his seate. He liues a Prince, and comming in this sort, Shall to his Countrey of your fame report.
