A MUSIC LESSON FROM MASTER THOMAS MACE TO BE

PLAYED BY LADY FAIR: A STORY, THAN WHICH THERE IS NONE PRETTIER IN THE HISTORY OF

MUSIC.

What shall I say?

Or shall I say no more?
I must go on ! I'm brim-full, running o'er.
But yet I'll hold, because I judge ye wise;
And few words unto such may well suffice.
But much-much more than this I could declare;
Yet for some certain reasons I'll forbear.
But less than this I could not say; because,
If saying less, I should neglect my cause,
For 'tis the Doctor's cause I plead so strong for,
And 'tis his cause compleated that I long for,
And 'tis true doctrine certainly I preach,

And 'tis that doctrine every priest should teach.
THOMAS MACE, TO ALL DIVINE READERS.

QUESTION PROPOSED, WHETHER A MAN BE MAGNIFIED

OR MINIFIED BY CONSIDERING HIMSELF UNDER THE

INFLUENCE OF THE HEAVENLY BODIES, AND AN

SWERED WITH LEARNING AND DISCRETION.

I find by experience that Writing is like Building, wherein the undertaker, to supply some defect, or serve some convenience which at first he foresaw not, is usually forced to exceed his first model and proposal, and many times to double the charge and expence of it.

No man is so foolish, but may give another good counsel sometimes; and no man is so wise, but may easily err, if he will take no other counsel but his own.
