The academy of complements. Wherein, ladies, gentlewomen, schollers, and strangers, may accommodate their courtly practice with gentile ceremonies, complementall amorous high expressions, and formes of speaking or writing of letters most in fashion. A work perused, exactly perfected, every where corrected and inlarged, and inriched by the author, with additions of many witty poems, and pleasant songs. With an addition of a new schoole of love, and a present of excellent similitudes, comparisons, fancies, and devices.
