Alwaies thus to the Reader .

I Doe not studie Eloquence , or professe Musicke , although J doe loue Sence , and affect Harmony . My Profession beeing , as my Education hath beene , Armes , the onely effeminate part of mee , hath beene Musicke ; which in me hath beene alwaies Generous , because neuer Mercenarie . To praise Musicke , were to say , the Sunne is bright . To extoll my sefe , would name my labours vaine-glorious . Onely this , my studies are farre from seruile imitations , I rob no others inuentions , I take no Jtalian Note to an English Dittie , or filch fragments of Songs to stuffe out my volumes . These are mine owne Phansies expressed by my proper Genius , which if thou doest dislike , let me see thine , Capere vel noli nostra , vel ede tua , Now to vse a modest shortnes , and a briefe expression of my selfe to all noble spirits , thus , My Title expresseth my bookes Contents , which ( if my hopes faile me not ) shall not deceiue their expectation , in whose approuement , the crowne of my labours resteth . And from henceforth , the statefull instrument Gambo Violl , shall with ease yield full various and deuicefull Musicke as any other instrument . For here J protest the Trinitie of Musicke , parts , Passion and Diuision , to be as gracefully vnited in the Gambo Violl , as in the most receiued Instrument that is , which here with a Souldiers Resolution , I giue vp to the acceptance of all noble dispositions .

The friend of his friend , Tobias Hume .

Your Viols must be tuned as the Lute , beeing the best Set that euer was inuented , for these kind of Musickes , which may bee compared with the highest and curious musicke in the world .

TO THE RIGHT WORthely innobled , PHILIP Earle of Arundel , &c.

AS great men haue many cares to hinder their delights , so haue they much choice of delights to sweeten their cares . Among which more elected and almost diuine pleasures , Humanity must needes giue Musicke a supreame worth : which euer allowed trueth giues mee heart to hope that your right noble spirit will esteeme it no il-fitting complement , to receiue these fewe musicall Essaies from him who euer deuotes his vtmost indeauors to the deseruing of your happy-making fauour . I shall therefore in these onely protest my willingnes to doe your Honor the readiest and choicest seruice my studies can affoard : which humblest tender , if it may obtaine acceptance , my labours are happy , and my selfe in my largest hopes amply satisfied . Of which , I cannot dispaire , since I knowe Heroicke spirits are as farre from contempt as from basenesse .

The seruant of your noble vertues , Tobias Hume .
❧ Graue Musickes for three Bass-Viols , with the Voice .

What greater griefe

WHat greater griefe

WHat greater griefe then no reliefe in deepest woe death is no friend that will not end such harts sorrow helpe I do crie , no helpe is nie , but winde and aire , which to and fro do tosse and blow all to dispaire , sith then dispaire I must yet may not die no man vnhapier liues on earth then I.

T is I that feele the scornefull heele of dismall hate , My gaine is lost , my losse cleere cost repentance late , So I must mone bemonde of none , O bitter gal ! Death be my friend with speed to end and quiet all . But if thou linger in dispaire to leaue mee , I le kill dispaire with hope , and so deceiue thee .
