TO THE RIGHT honourable. THE LORD Charles Howard earl of Notingham, baron of Effingham, Knight of the Noble order of the Garter, Lord high admiral of England, Ireland, and Wales, &c. And one of her Majesties most honourable privy counsel.  
RIGHT HO norab.  
I Haue adventured to dedicate these few discordant tunes to be censured by the ingenious disposition of your Lordships honourable rare perfection, persuading myself, that these labours, composed by me and others,( as in the survey hereof, your Lordship may well perceive) may not by any means pass, without the malignity of some malicious Momus, whose malice( being as toothsome as the Adders sting) couched in the progress of a wayfayring mans passage, might make him retire though almost at his journeys end. Two special motives haue imbouldened me( right honourable) in this my proceeding. First, for that I consider, that as the body cannot bee without the shadow: so Homer( the Prince of Poets) may not be without a Zoilist: The second & last is( the most forcible motive) I know,( not onely by report, but also by experiment) your Lordship, to bee not onely Philomusus a lover of the Muses, and of learning: but Philomathes, a parsonage alway desirous,( though in all Arts sufficiently skilful) to come to a more high perfection or Summum bonum. I will not trouble your Lordship with to to tedious circumstances, onely I humbly entreat your Lordship( in the name of many) to patronage this work with no less acceptance, then I with a willing and kind hart dedicate it. So shall I think the initium of this work not onely happily begun, but to bee finited with a more happy period.  
Your Honours devoted in all duty, Thomas Morley.

TO THE RIGHT honourable. THE LORD Charles Howard earl of Notingham, baron of Effingham, Knight of the Noble order of the Garter, Lord high admiral of England, Ireland, and Wales, &c. And one of her Majesties most honourable privy counsel.  
RIGHT honourable.  
I Haue adventured to dedicate these few discordant tunes to be censured by the ingenious disposition of your Lordships honourable rare perfection, persuading myself, that these labours, composed by me and others,( as in the survey hereof, your Lordship may well perceive) may not by any means pass, without the malignity of some malicious Momus, whose malice( being as toothsome as the Adders sting) couched in the progress of a wayfayring mans passage, might make him retire though almost at his journeys end. Two special motives haue imbouldened me( right honourable) in this my proceeding. First, for that I consider, that as the body cannot bee without the shadow: so Homer( the Prince of Poets) may not be without a Zoilist: The second & last is( the most forcible motive) I know,( not onely by report, but also by experiment) your Lordship, to bee not onely Philomusus a lover of the Muses, and of learning: but Philomathes, a parsonage alway desirous,( though in all Arts sufficiently skilful) to come to a more high perfection or Summum bonum. I will not trouble your Lordship with to to tedious circumstances, onely I humbly entreat your Lordship( in the name of many) to patronage this work with no less acceptance, then I with a willing and kind hart dedicate it. So shall I think the initium of this work not onely happily begun, but to bee finited with a more happy period.  
Your Honours devoted in all duty, Thomas Morley.

TO THE RIGHT honourable. THE LORD Charles Howard earl of Notingham, baron of Effingham, Knight of the Noble order of the Garter, Lord high admiral of England, Ireland, and Wales, &c. And one of her Majesties most honourable privy counsel.  
RIGHT honourable.  
I Haue adventured to dedicate these few discordant tunes to be censured by the ingenious disposition of your Lordships honourable rare perfection, persuading myself, that these labours, composed by me and others,( as in the survey hereof, your Lordship may well perceive) may not by any means pass, without the malignity of some malicious Momus, whose malice( being as toothsome as the Adders sting) couched in the progress of a wayfayring mans passage, might make him retire though almost at his journeys end. Two special motives haue imbouldened me( right honourable) in this my proceeding. First, for that I consider, that as the body cannot bee without the shadow: so Homer( the Prince of Poets) may not be without a Zoilist: The second & last is( the most forcible motive) I know,( not onely by report, but also by experiment) your Lordship, to bee not onely Philomusus a lover of the Muses, and of learning: but Philomathes, a parsonage alway desirous,( though in all Arts sufficiently skilful) to come to a more high perfection or Summum bonum. I will not trouble your Lordship with to to tedious circumstances, onely I humbly entreat your Lordship( in the name of many) to patronage this work with no less acceptance, then I with a willing and kind hart dedicate it. So shall I think the initium of this work not onely happily begun, but to bee finited with a more happy period.  
Your Honours devoted in all duty, Thomas Morley.

TO THE RIGHT honourable. THE LORD Charles Howard earl of Notingham, baron of Effingham, Knight of the Noble order of the Garter, Lord high admiral of England, Ireland, and Wales, &c. And one of her Majesties most honourable privy counsel.  
RIGHT honourable.  
I Haue adventured to dedicate these few discordant tunes to be censured by the ingenious disposition of your Lordships honourable rare perfection, persuading myself, that these labours, composed by me and others,( as in the survey hereof, your Lordship may well perceive) may not by any means pass, without the malignity of some malicious Momus, whose malice( being as toothsome as the Adders sting) couched in the progress of a wayfayring mans passage, might make him retire though almost at his journeys end. Two special motives haue imbouldened me( right honourable) in this my proceeding. First, for that I consider, that as the body cannot bee without the shadow: so Homer( the Prince of Poets) may not be without a Zoilist: The second & last is( the most forcible motive) I know,( not onely by report, but also by experiment) your Lordship, to bee not onely Philomusus a lover of the Muses, and of learning: but Philomathes, a parsonage alway desirous,( though in all Arts sufficiently skilful) to come to a more high perfection or Summum bonum. I will not trouble your Lordship with to to tedious circumstances, onely I humbly entreat your Lordship( in the name of many) to patronage this work with no less acceptance, then I with a willing and kind hart dedicate it. So shall I think the initium of this work not onely happily begun, but to bee finited with a more happy period.
