LESSONS FOR 1. 2. and 3. Viols . BY Alfonso Ferrabosco .

LONDON : Printed by THOMAS SNODHAM , for IOHN BROWNE , and are to be sould at his shop in Saint Dunstones Church-yard in Fleetstreet .

1609.

TO THE PERFECTION OF HONOVR , My Lord HENRY , EARLE of South-hampton .

WHilst other men study your Titles ( Honourable Lord ) I doe your Honours ; and finde it a nearer way to giue actions , then words : for the talking man commonly goes about , and meetes the iustice at his errours end , not to be beleeu'd . Yet , if in modest actions , the circumstances of singularitie , and profession hurt not ; it is true , that I made these Compositions solely for your Lordship , and doe here professe it . By which time , I haue done all that I had in purpose , and returne to my silence :

Where you are most honor'd by Alfonso Ferrabosco .
TO THE WORLD .

LEast I fall vnder the Character of the vaine-glorious Man , in some opinions , by thrusting so much of my industrie in Print ; I would all knew , how little fame I hope for , that way : when beside his , for , and to whom they are , I aym'd at no mans suffrage in the making ; though I might praesume , that could not but please others , which I was contented had pleased him . But , as it is the errour , and misfortune of young Children , oftentimes to stray , and loosing their dwellings be taken vp by strangers ; and there lou'd and own'd : So these , by running abroad hauing got them false Parents ; and some , that , to my face , would challenge them ; I had beene a most vnnaturall Father , if I had not corrected such impudence , and by a publique declaration of them to be mine ( when other meanes abandon'd me ) acknowledg'd kind . This is all the glory I affected , to doe an act of Nature and Iustice . For their seale , they had it in the Mint , or not at all : Howsoeuer , if they want it , I will ease my selfe the vice of commendation .

Alfonso Ferrabosco .
TO MY EXCELLENT FRIEND , ALFONSO FERRABOSCO . WHen we doe giue , Alfonso , to the light A worke of ours , we part with our owne right . For then , all mouthes will iudge ; and their owne way : The Learn'd haue no more priuiledge , then the Lay. And , though we could all men , all censures heare , We ought not giue them taste , we had an eare : For , if the humerous World will talke , at large , They should be fooles , for me , at their owne charge . Say , this , or that man they to thee preferre ; Euen those , for whom they doe this , know they erre : And would ( being ask'd the truth ) ashamed say , They were not to be nam'd , on the same day . Then stand vnto thy selfe , nor seeke without For Fame , with breath soone kindled , soone blowneout . Ben : Ionson .
Jn lode dell'arte , & dell' Authore , SONETTO . S'Ogni arte tanto piu da noi s'apprezza , Quanto ha piu nobil senso per oggetto , & quanto n'e peu degno il soggetto , Vince l'altre arti harmonica dolcezza , Quella a dar gusto & contento s'auezza Al nostro vdir , de sensi il piu perfetto ; Per sogetto h'a numero vguale , & retto , & di bella aria , & tuoni la vaghezza . Questa arte dungue essendo di tal merto , Alfonso mio , chi d' Orpheo ports il vanto , Conuien pregiarti , & quests tuoi concenti ▪ Tanto piu ch'essi con doppio concerto , A gl'istromenti attando il dolce canto , Di piacer doppio ne appagan le ment● . Gual : Quin.
