Mr Hvgh Holland On his worthy frend W: H: & his Triumuiri of Musicke.

List to that sweete Recorder;
How daintily this BYRD his notes doth vary,
As if he were the Nightingalls owne brother:
Loe where doth pace in order
A braver BULL, then did Europa cary:
Nay let all Europe showe me such an other.
Orlando though was counted Musicks fathr;
Yet this ORLANDO parallels di Lasso:
Whose triple praise would tire a very Tasso.
Thē heere in one these three men heare yu rather
And praise thaire songes: & sing his praise who maried
Those notes so well wch they so sweetely varied.
