[...] THE FIRST BOOKE OF Songs or Ayres of 4. parts: vvith Tableture for the Lute or Orpherian, with the Violl de Gamba.
Newly composed by Francis Pilkington, Batcheler of Musick, and Lutenist: and one of the Cathedrall Church of Christ, in the Citie of Chester.
LONDON: Printed by T Este, dwelling in Aldersgate-streete, and are ther to be sould. 1605.
To the Right honourable VVilliam Earle of Darby, Lord Stanly, Lord Strange, of Knocking and of the Isle of Man, and Knight of the most noble Order of the Garter. Francis Pilkington wisheth health, with increase of Honour in this life, and Eternitie heereafter.
ARistoxenus (thrice noble Lord) held that the Soule of man was Musicke: But that the being thereof was framed of Bumbees, as the Pithagorians affirme: But for that it is the subiect and obiect of all harmonicall concents: Intimating heereby the dignitie and high renowne of that Art, which descended from so noble a stemme, seeketh by all meanes possible to nobilitate the same, and that man to bee vnfit for the society and commerce of men, that honoureth not so worthy a Jewell for the life of man. Which opinion verely is worthy Aristoxenus, that is to say, a noble Philosopher, yet how litle squaring with the time, experience a perfect Mistresse of truth hath a long time taught. For who regardeth the melodius charmes of Orpheus, or enchanting melodie of Arion? surely but a few, Quos aequus amauit Iupiter dijs geniti, aut ardeus euexit ad aethera virtus. Of which rancke seeing your Lordship hath giuen vndoubted testimonies of your honour to bee one: Musitions should commit an vndiscreet part of ingratitude not to acknowledge so great a fauour. For mine owne part (who am meanest of many which professe this diuine skill, though not meanest in good will & humble affection to your Honor) I must confesse my selfe many waies obliged to your Lordships familie, not onely, for that my Father and Brother receiued many graces of your Honours noble Father, whom they followed, but that my self had the like of your most honorable Brother, euen from the first notice he chanced to take of mee. And therfore (most honourable Lord) I haue heere presented this oblation, howsoeuer meane, a token of mine affectionate good will Loue, yea onely deuoted to your Lordship, which if it may gaine your gracious acceptation, will feare neither Zoilus nor Momus his reprehension.
