TO THE TRULY VERTUOUS AND My much Honoured Friend Mrs. GRACE BUZBY , Daughter to the Late Sr. HENRY CARY , Knight Banneret; And WIFE to Mr. ROBERT BUZBY , Gentleman, and Wollen Draper of LONDON
Madam , Your Kind and Good Acceptance of my Endeavours in Work for You, and that
Esteem You have for what else I can do, make me bold to present this
Book to You; which by that time You have perused, I doubt not but You
will deem it worthy of the Title it bears; and indeed it was never
opened before: If it may yield You any Delight or Benefit, I shall be
glad; for as You have a true Love and Esteem for me, so I have a very
great Love and Honourable Esteem for You; and shall always be Your most Observant servant , HANNAH WOLLEY.
To all Ladies, Gentlewomen, and to all other of the Female Sex who do
delight in, or be desirous of good Accomplishments.
Ladies and Gentlewomen, I Presume those Bookes which have passed from me formerly, have got me
some little credit and esteem amongst you. But there being so much time past since they were Printed, that
methinks, I hear some of you say I wish Mrs. Wolley would put forth
some New Experiments and to say the Truth, I have been importun'd by
divers of my Friends and Acquaintance to do so. I shall not give an Apish Example every Day or Week to follow
ridiculous and foolish Fancies, nor could I be too like the Spaniard,
always to keep in one Dress: I am not ashamed, nor do I disown what I
have already Printed, but some of you being so perfect in your
practises, and I very desirous still to serve you, do now present you
with this Queen like Closet: I do assure you it is worthy of the
Title it bears, for the very precious things you will find in it. Thus beseeching your kind Acceptance of this Book, and of my earnest
Desires to you, I take my Leave, but shall always be to all who have
esteem for me, Their Faithful and Humble Servant, HANNAH WOLLEY.
Ladies, I do here present you (yet)
That which sure will well content
A Queen like Closet rich and brave
(Such) not many Ladies have:
Or Cabinet, in which doth set
Jems richer than in Karkanet;
(They) only Eies and Fancies please,
These keep your Bodies in good ease;
They please the Taste, also the Eye;
Would I might be a stander by:
Yet rather I would wish to eat,
Since 'bout them I my Brains do beat:
And 'tis but reason you may say,
If that I come within your way;
I sit here sad while you are merry,
Eating Dainties, drinking Perry;
But I'm content you should so feed,
So I may have to serve my deed. Hannah Wolley.
