You that in Musicke do delightyour minds for to solace:
This little booke of Sonets might
wel like you in that case,
Peruse it wel ere you passe by,

Such pleasant songs to ech new tune,
as lightly you can craue.
Or if fine Histories you would reade,
you need not far to seek:
Within this booke such may you haue,
as Ladies may wel like.
Here may you haue such pretie thinges,
as women much desire:
Here may you haue of sundrie sorts,
such Songs as you require.
Wherefore my friend, if you regard,
such Songs to reade or heare:
Doubt not to buy this pretie Booke,
the price is not so deare.
Farewell.
