In the morning the knight arose and did the bidding of the celestial messenger, and God gave to him and to his wife many children, who inherited their father's glory, wealth, and knightly honours from generation to generation." In the "Dedicatory Epistle" to his Triumphal Chariot of Antimony, Basil Valentine addresses his brother alchemists as follows:
This copy of mine is of the greatest rarity, for it contains two dedicatory sonnets by Richard Niccols, one addressed to Lady Elizabeth Clere and the other to the Earl of Nottingham, which seem to have been instantly suppressed, and are only known to exist in this and, I believe, one or two other examples of the book. These are, perhaps, worth reprinting for their curiosity.
Dedicate your satire to him; have it bound with his arms on the cover; carry it to him yourself some fine morning, and he will help you." "But I don't know the prince; and I don't see how I can write the dedicatory epistle." "Sit down; I'll do it for you."
His dedicatory verses, which stand at the head of the volume, are more probably attached to the first part only, the book of lyrics.
As that ship is endangered where ail lean to one side; but is in safety, one leaning one way and another another way: so the dissensions of Poets among themselves, doth make them, that they less infect their readers. Dedicatory Epistle to The Rival Ladies.
The dedicatory inscription in the volume of The Monthly Repository, in which the following review appears, will indicate in a few words the motives inspiring the editor, W. J.

They consist of one or two slabs found at Nimrod, of a short dedicatory inscription on duplicate statues of the god Nebo brought from the same place, of some brick inscriptions from the mound of Nebbi Vunus, and of the briefest possible notices of the quarters in which he carried on war, contained in one copy of the Canon.
Among the short pieces called Catalecta we have some of exquisite beauty, as the dedicatory prayer to Venus and the address to Siro's villa; others show a vein of invective which we find it hard to associate with the gentle poet; others, again, are parodies or close imitations of Catullus; while one or two are proved by internal evidence to be by another hand than Virgil's.
