M. R. Alison in praise of the Author.
As Treasure hidde within the golden Myne,Such is the state of Musiques art vnknowne,
The ore digde forth the workeman maks it fine,
Till which performde the vertue is not showne:
So Farnaby had left this worke obscured,
And drownd deserte of praise belonging to him,
Had he not bin by speciall friends procured,
With tycing speech and filed phraise to wooe him:
These works had quaild and he from vse had swaru'd,
But well performde and therefore well deseru'd.
