Most Honoured Lord:

AS to exell in any qualitie is very rare, so is it a hard thing to finde out those that fauour Vertue and Learning; but such being found, men of Iudgment are drawne (I know not by what Sympathie) to loue and Honor them, as the Saints and Soueraignes of their affecti­ons and deuices: wherefore (most Worthy Lord) your Honor being of all men noted (as natural borne heire of your most Renowned father and mother) to be the onely and alone Supporter of goodnes and excellencie, knowne to none better (vnles I should be the most vngratefull of all others) then my selfe, who am held vp onely by your gratious hand; for which I can shew no other meanes of thank­fulnes then these simple fruits of my poore endeauors which I most humbly present as a publike pledge from a true and deuoted heart, hoping hereafter to performe some­thing, wherein I shall shew my selfe more worthy of your Honorable seruice. In the meane time you shall haue a poore mans praiers for your Lordships continuall health and dayly increase of Honor.

Your Honours humble seruant IOHN DOVLAND.

TO THE READER.

WOrthy Gentlemen, and my louing Countrymen; mooued by your many and fore-tasted courresies, I am constrained to appeare againe vnto you. True it is, I haue lien long ob­scured from your sight, because I receiued a Kingly entertainment in a forraine climate, which could not attaine to any (though neuer so meane) place at home, yet haue I held vp my head within this Horizon, and not altogether beene vnaffected else where. Since some part of my poore labours haue found fauour in the greatest part of Europes, and beene printed in eight most famous Cities beyond the Seas. viz: Paris, Antwerpe, Collein, Nurenburge, Franckfort, Liepsig, Amsterdam, and Hamburge: (yea and some of them also authorized vnder the Emperours royall priuiledge,) yet I must tell you, as I haue beene a stranger; so haue I againe found strange entertainment since my returne; especially by the opposition of two sorts of peo­ple that shroude themselues vnder the title of Musitians. The first are some simple Cantors, or vocall singers, who though they seeme excellent in their blinde Diuision-making, are meerely ignorant, euen in the first elements of Musicke, and also in the true order of the mutation of the Hexachord in the Systeme, (which hath ben approued by all the learned and skilfull men of Christendome, this 800 yeeres,) yet doe these fellowes giue their verdict of me behinde my backe, and say, what I doe is after the old manner: but I will speake openly to them, and would haue them know that the proudest Cantor of them, dares not oppose himselfe face to face against me. The second are young men, professors of the Lute, who vaunt themselues, to the disparagement of such as haue beene before their time, (wherein I my selfe am a party) that there neuer was the like of them. To these men I say little, because of my loue and hope to see some deedes ensue their braue wordes, and also being that here vnder their ownenoses hath beene published a Booke in defence of the Viol de Gamba, wherein not onely all other the best and principall instruments haue beene abased, but especially the Lute by name, the words, to satisfie thee Reader I haue here thought good to insert, and are as followeth: From henceforth, the statefull Instrument Gambo Violl, shall with ease yeeld full various, and deuicefull Musicke as the Lute: for here I protest the Trin [...]ie of Musicke, Parts, Passion, and Deuision, to be as gracefully vnited in the Gambo Viol, as in the most receiued Instrument that is, &c. Which Imputation, me thinkes, the learneder sort of Musitians ought not to let passe vnanswered. Moreouer that here are and daily doth come into our most famous kingdome, diuers strangers from beyond the seas, which auerre before our owne faces, that we haue no true methode of application or fingering of the Lute. Now if these gallant yong Lutenists be such as they would haue the world beleeue, and of which I make no doubt, let them re­member that their skill lyeth not in their fingers endes: Cucullus non facit Monachum. I wish for the Honor therfore and generall benefit of our Countrie, that they vndertake the defence of their Lute profession, seeing that some of them aboue other, haue most large meanes, conuenient time, and such encouragement as I neuer knew any haue, belceue me if any of these obiections had beene made when those famous men liued which now are thought worthy of no fame, not derogating from these skillfull men present; I dare affirme that these obiections had beene answered to the full, and I make no doubt but that those few of the former time which liue yet, being that some of them are Batchelors of Musicke, and others which assume vnto themselues to be no lesse worthy, wilbe as for­ward to preserue their reputation. Perhaps you will aske me, why I that haue trauailed many countries, and ought to haue some experience, doth not vnder goe this busines my selfe? I answere that I want abilitie, being I am now entered into the fiftieth yeare of mine age: secondly because I want both meanes, leasure, and encourage­ment. But (Gentle Reader to conclude, although abruptly) this worke of mine, which I here haue published, con­taineth such things as I my selfe haue thought well of, as being in mine opinion furnished with varietie of matter both of Iudgement and delight, which willingly I referre to the friendly censure, and approbation of the skilfull: hoping it will be no lesse delightfull to all in generall, then it was pleasing to me in the composition, Farewell.

Your friend Iohn Douland.

[...] SWeet stay a while, why will you rise? The light you see comes from your eyes: [...] The day breakes not, it is my heart, To thinke that you and I must part. [...] O stay, O stay, or else my ioyes, my ioyes, my ioyes must dye, And per rish [...] in their in- fan- cie. [...]

Deare let me dye in this faire breast,

Within this circle of thine armes:
And let thy blissefull kisses cherish
Mine infant ioyes, that else must perish.

[...] TO aske for all thy loue, and thy whole heart t'were madnesse, I doe not sue, nor [...] can ad- mit (fai- rest) from you to haue all, yet who giueth all hath nothing to im- [...] part, but sad nesse. [...]

He that receiueth all, can haue no more then seeing.
My Loue by length of euery houre,
Gathers new strength, new growth, new flower.
You must haue daily new rewards in store, still being.
You cannot euery day giue me your heart for merit:
Yet if you will, when yours doth goe,
You shall haue still one to bestow:
For you shall mine when yours doth part inherit.
Yet if you please, Ile finde a better way, then change them:
For so alone dearest we shall
Be one and one, anothers all▪
Let vs so ioyne our hearts that nothing may estrange them.

Ile goe to the woods, and alone, make my moane, oh cruell:
For I am deceiu'd and bereau'd of my life, my iewell.
O but in the woods, though Loue be blinde,
Hee hath his spies, my secret haunts to finde.
Loue then I must yeeld to thy might, might and spight oppressed,
Since I see my wrongs, woe is me, cannot be redrested.
Come at last, be friendly Loue to me,
And let me not, endure this miserie.

2 When thoughts are still vnseene and words disguised; vowes are not sacred held, nor promise debt:
By passion reasons glory is surprised, in neyther sexe is true loue firmely set.
Thoughts fainde, words false, vowes and promise broken
Made true Loue flye from earth, this is the token.
3 Mount then my thoughts, here is for thee no dwelling, since truth and falshood liue like twins together:
Beleeue not sense, eyes, eares, touch, taste, or smelling, both Art and Nature's forc'd: put trustin neyther.
One onely shee doth true Loue captiue binds
In fairest brest, but in a fairer minde.
O fairest minde, enrich'd with Loues residing. retaine the best; in hearts let some seede fall,
In stead of weeds Loues fruits may haue abiding▪ at Haruest you shall reape encrease of all.
O happy Loue, more happy man that findes thee,

2 Sorrow to see my sorrowes cause augmented, and yet lesse sorrowfull were my sorrowes more:
Griefe that my griefe with griefe is not preuented, for griefe it is must ease my grieued sore.
Thus griefe and sorrow cares but how to grieue,
For griefe and sorrow must my cares relieue.
3 If any eye therefore can spare a teare to fill the well-spring that must wet my cheekes,
O let that eye to this sad feast draw neere, refuse me not my humble soule beseekes:
For all the teares mine eyes haue euer wept
Were now too little had they all beene kept.

But sinke with sad despaire.
