Let this be told the

HAT Sir John Skeffington (one of his 

 late Majefties fervants, and a ftranger 

 to no language of Chriftendom) did 

 about 40 years now paft, bring this 

 Hero out of Spain into England, 



There they two kept company together 'till 

 about 1 2 months now paft : and then, in a retyre- 

 ment of that learned knights (by reafon of a fequef- 

 tration for his mafters caufe) a friend coming to 

 vifit him, they fell accidentally into a difcourfe of 

 the wit and galantry of the Spani/h Nation, 



That difcourfe occafioned an example or two, 

 to be brought out of this Hero : and, thofe ex- 

 amples (with Sir Johns choice language and illuf- 



tration)
