TO THE MOST GRACIOUS and Sacred Princess ANNA QUEEN of England, Scotland, France, and Ireland. SInce I had access to your Highness at Winchester, (most gracious Queen) I have been twice under sail for Denmark, hastening my return to my most royal King and Master, your dear and worthiest Brother; but by contrary winds and frost, I was forced back again, and of necessity compelled to winter here in your most happy Kingdom. In which time I have endeavoured by my poor labour and study to manifest my humbleness and duty to your highness, being myself one of your most affectionate Subjects, and also servant to your most Princely Brother, the only Patron and Sunshine of my else unhappy Fortunes. For which respects I have presumed to Dedicate this work of Music to your sacred hands, that was begun where you were borne, and ended where you reign. And though the title doth promise tears, unfit guests in these joyful times, yet no doubt pleasant are the tears which Music weeps, neither are tears shed always in sorrow, but sometime in joy and gladness. Vouchsafe then (worthy Goddess) your Gracious protection to these showers of Harmony, lest if you frown on them, they be Metamorphosed into true tears. Your Majesties in all humility devoted, JOHN DOWLAND. To the Reader. Having in foreign parts met divers Lute-lessons of my composition, published by strangers without my name or approbation; I thought it much more convenient, that my labours should pass forth under mine own allowance, receiving from me their last foil and polishment; for which consideration I have undergone this long and troublesome work, wherein I have mixed new songs with old, grave with light, that every ear may receive his sever all content. And as I had in these an earnest desire to satisfy all, I do likewise hope that the peruser will as gratefully entertain my endeavours, as they were friendly meant. This only observation I must set down in the playing of my Lute-lessons for tuning of the Lute, which is, that the 7.8.9. string open, do answer in the eight the base string above, what letter soever it be that carries the base: As for example.
