To the Right Honourable Sir Robert Karre, at Court, Sir, If I should refuse the liberty which you enlarge to me, of eating in your cham- ber, you might suspect that I reserved it for greater boldnesses, and would not spend it in this. But, in good faith, I do not eat before, nor can after, till I have been at home; so much hath my this years debi- lity disabled me, even for receiving favours. After the Sermon, I will steal into my Coach home, and pray that my good pur- pose may be well accepted, and my defects graciously pardoned. Amen. Yours intirely J. Donne. I will be at your chamber at one after noon. [CW: To] |
