<lb/>To all Understanders or Lovers of
<lb/>MUSICK.
</salute>
<ab rend="italic">It is easie to say I have been much importun'd, by Persons of Quality, to
Publish my <hi rend="roman">Compositions</hi>: But though I could plead it (and without vain
Pretensions) yet now I shall wave it. Nor was I drawn to it by any little thoughts of private Gain;
though men of my Relations (as the World now goes) are justly presum'd not to overflow; and perhaps
the matter will not reach that value, let the <hi rend="roman">Stationer</hi> look to that, who
himselfe hath undergone the Charge and Trouble of the whole Impression; who yet (by his favour)
hath lately made bold to print, in one Book, above twenty of my Songs, whereof I had no knowledge
till his Book was in the Presse; and it seems he found those so acceptable that he is ready for more.
Therefore now the Question is not, whether or no my <hi rend="roman">Compositions</hi> shall be Publick,
but whether they shall come forth from me, or from some other hand; and which of the two is likeliest to
afford the true correct Copies, I leave others to judge. In this Book I reprint none that were publish'd
in the former, or ever in print before. I could tell ye also, I have often found many of mine that have
walkt abroad in other mens names: how they came to lose their Relations and be Anabaptiz'd, I think not
worth examining. Only I shall say, that some who so adopted and owned my Songs had greater kindnesse for the
Children than for the Father; else sure they had not bestow'd some other late Ayres (which themsleves could not own)
upon Forrainers and Strangers, because I <hi rend="roman">compos'd</hi> them to <hi rend="roman">Italian</hi> and
<hi rend="roman">Spanish</hi> words. I should think such an Injury an unreasonable piece of
Injustice, since now we live in so sullen an Age, that our Prefession it selfe hath lost its
Incouragement. But Wise men have observ'd our Generation so giddy, that whatsoever is Native
(be it never so excellent) must lose its taste, because themselves have lost theirs. For my part,
I professe (and such as know me can bear me witnesse) I desire to render every man his due, whether
Strangers or Natives. I acknowledge the <hi rend="roman">Italians</hi> the greatest Masters of
Musick, but yet not all. And (without depressing the Honour of other Countries) I may say our own
Nation hath had and yet hath as able Musitians as any in <hi rend="roman">Europe</hi>; and many
now living (whose names I forbear) are excellent both for the Voyce and Instruments. But as in
Musick the <hi rend="roman">Unison</hi> and <hi rend="roman">Diapason</hi> are the sweetest of
all <hi rend="roman">Chords</hi>, yet a <hi rend="roman">Second</hi> and a
<hi rend="roman">Seventh</hi>, which stand next to them, are more <hi rend="roman">Discordant</hi>
from them than any other Notes in all the <hi rend="roman">Scale</hi>: So to Musicians, a man's
next Neighbour is the farthest from him, and none give so harsh a Report of the
<hi rend="roman">English</hi> as the <hi rend="roman">English</hi> themselves. We should not think
Musick any stranger to this Island, since our Ancestors tell us that the
<hi rend="roman">Britains</hi> had Musicians before they had Books; and the
<hi rend="roman">Romans</hi> that invaded us (who were not too forward to magnifie other Nations)
confesse what power the <hi rend="roman">Druids</hi> and <hi rend="roman">Bards</hi> had over the
Peoples affections by recording in Songs the Deeds of Heroick Spirits, their very
<hi rend="roman">Laws</hi> and <hi rend="roman">Religion</hi> being sung in Tunes, and so
(without Letters) transmitted to Posterity; wherein it seems they were so dexterous, that their
Neighbours out of <hi rend="roman">Gaul</hi> came hither to learn it. How their Successors held it
up I know not: But King <hi rend="roman">Henry</hi> the Eight did much advance it, especially in
the former part of his Reign, when his minde was more intent upon Arts and Sciences, at which
time he invited all the greatest Masters out of <hi rend="roman">Italy</hi> and other Countries,
and Himselfe gave example by <hi rend="roman">Composing</hi> with his own hand two intire
<hi rend="roman">Services</hi>, which were often sung in his Chappell, as the Lord
<hi rend="roman">Herbert</hi> of <hi rend="roman">Cherbury</hi> (who writ his Life) hath
left upon Record. Since whose time it prosper'd much in the Reign of Queen
<hi rend="roman">Elizabeth</hi>, King <hi rend="roman">James</hi>, and His late
<hi rend="roman">Majesty</hi>. I confesse the Italian Language may have some advantage by being
better smooth'd and <hi rend="roman">vowell'd</hi> for Musick, which I found by many Songs which
I set to <hi rend="roman">Italian</hi> words: and our English seems a
<pb n="b1r"/>
little over-clogg'd with <hi rend="roman">Consonants</hi>; but that's much the <hi rend="roman">Composer's</hi>
fault, who by judicious setting and right tuning the words may make it smooth enough. And since our palates are
so much after Novelties, I desir'd to try the <hi rend="roman">Greek</hi>, having never seen any thing <hi rend="roman">Set</hi>
in that Language by our own Musicians or Strangers; and (by <hi rend="roman">Composing</hi> some of <hi rend="roman">Anacreon's</hi>
Odes) I found the Greek Tongue full as good as any for Musick, and in some particulars sweeter than the <hi rend="roman">Latine</hi>,
or those Moderne ones that descended from <hi rend="roman">Latine</hi>. I never lov'd to <hi rend="roman">Set</hi> or sing words
which I do not understand; and where I cannot, I desir'd help of others who were able to interpret. But this present Generation
is so sated with what's Native, that nothing takes their eare but what's sung in a Language which (commonly) they understand as
little as they do the Musick. And to make them a little sensible of this ridiculous humour, I took a <hi rend="roman">Table</hi>
or <hi rend="roman">Index</hi> of old <hi rend="roman">Italian</hi> Songs (for one, two, and three Voyces) and this
<hi rend="roman">Index</hi> (which read together made a strange medley of Non-sense) I set to a varyed Ayre, and gave out that
it came from <hi rend="roman">Italy</hi>, whereby it hath passed for a rare <hi rend="roman">Italian Song</hi>. This very Song
I have now here printed. And if this First Book shall find acceptance, I intend yearly to publish the like; for I confess I have
a sufficient Stock lying by me (and shall compose more) having had the Honour to <hi rend="roman">Set</hi> the Verses of the most
and chiefest Poets of our Times. As for those Copies of Verses in this Book, I have rendred their Names who made them, from whose
hands I received them. These Reasons (with some other not here mentioned) drew me forth to this Publication, which if receiv'd with
the same heart that I offer it, with be further Encouragement for</ab>

<l>Verse makes Heroick Vertue live,</l>
<l>But you can life to Verses give:</l>
<l>As when in open aire we blow</l>
<l>The breath (though strain'd) sounds flat and low,</l>
<l>But if a Trumpet take the blast,</l>
<l>It lifts it high, and makes it last:</l>
<l>So in your Ayres our Numbers drest</l>
<l>Make a shrill sally from the Brest</l>

<l>Our Passions to themselves commend,</l>
<l>While Love Victorious with thy Art</l>
<l>Governs at once their Voyce and Heart.</l>

<l> <hi rend="roman">NOY</hi> pleading, no man doubts the Cause,</l>
<l>Or questions Verses set by <hi rend="roman">LAWES</hi>.</l>
<l>For as a window thick with paint</l>
<l>Lets in a light but dim and faint,</l>
<l>So others with Division hide</l>
<l>The Light of Sense, the Poets Pride,</l>
<l>But you alone may truly boast</l>

<l>The Writer's and the Setter's skill</l>

<l>I am no Poet, yet I will rhearse</l>

<l>Must they not know their wild pretensions, when</l>
<l>Unnat'rally they'l raise a Forrain Name,</l>
<l>And blast the Honour of their Native Fame?</l>
<l>But stay; Will this reclaim them? No, th'are mad;</l>
<l>Their Reason is infatuate, and clad</l>
<l>In such a stupified ignorance:</l>
<l>Nothing will please that is not come from <hi rend="italic">France</hi></l>
<l>Or <hi rend="italic">Italy</hi>; but let them have their will,</l>
<l>Whilst we unto thy Noble Art and Skill</l>
<l>Do sacrifice our admirations:</l>
<l>The tribute's j<corr>u</corr>st, and other Nations</l>
<l>Cannot but pay it too, when they shall see</l>
<l>Their best of Labours thus outdone by Thee;</l>

<l>Past imitation; they will dispaire,</l>
<l>And wonder we can surfeit with such meat,</l>
<l>So rare, so rich, so pleasant, so compleat.</l>
<l>Be happy then; Thou art above all hate;</l>
<l>Thy great abil'ties have out-grown thy Fate.</l>
<l>Thy Fortune soars aloft; thou art renown'd:</l>
<l>Thy Fame's with Judgements approbation crown'd.</l>
<l>And in this Verse, (as I disclaim all Wit)</l>
