TO HIS GRACE FRANCIS GODOLPHIN, DUKE of LEEDS.

My Lord,

THE honour I have in being, by baptism, your Grace's namesake, a consequence of my being distantly related to Francis Earl of Godolphin, has emboldened me to dedicate to your Grace this weak essay at an imitation of our immortal Shakspeare.

-- --

Having, my Lord, no incentive to the liberty I presume to take, but my respect for your Grace's taste and virtues, I should only sully the purity of my motive, were I to expatiate on them.

I have the honour to be, My Lord, Your Grace's Most humble, And most obedient Servant, FRANCIS GODOLPHIN WALDRON. Cross-court, Bow-street, Covent-garden. May 1, 1797.
