AMORIS PRÆLVDIVM:

Sic incipit stultorum Tragicomedia.

These Sonnets following, were written by the Author, (who giueth himselfe this fained name of Philoparthen, as his accidentall attribute) at diuers times, and vpon diuers occasions, and therefore in the forme and matter they differ, and sometimes are quite contrary one to another, considering the nature and qualitie of Love, which is a Passion full of varietie, and contrarietie in it selfe.

Loues Accusation at the Iudgement-seate of Reason, wherein the Authors whole successe in his loue is couertly described.

Loue decyphered.

Loues last Will and Testament.

The Sonnets following were written by the Author, after he beganne to decline from his passionate affection, and in them he seemeth to please himselfe, with describing the vanitie of Love, the frailtie of Beautie, and the sower fruits of Repentance.
