Excerpt from A Little Ark Containing Sundry Pieces of Seventeenth-Century Verse

I have chosen pieces which for various reasons, some of them referred to later, seemed to me worthy of an attempt to preserve them. I trust, however, that no one will think I am arrogating to myself the role of feu Noé I am under no sort of delusion as to the value or importance of the contents of this ark, and if they had all perished like those optimists who in the days of the Patriarch are said to have put their trust in umbrellas, I concede at once that the greatest happiness of the greatest number would not have been affected.
