¶In Musicen Tho. Whithorni Hexasticon ad Lectorem.
CAndide sume tibi, lector, praeludia musae, hoc{que} lubēs spectes, quod modò surgit opus. Authoris mentem metire, & consule rectè, vt merita meritum laude fruatur opus. Nec multū curat, probat, improbat aemula turba, ipse bonis manult, quàm placuisse malis.Eiusdem carmen Phaleucium siue Endecasyllabum.
QVi clar〈…〉〈…〉am nitore musam Fecit, 〈…〉〈…〉is videre lucem: Rarum prodit opus Whithornus ille, Et cunctis reserat suas camaenas Plenas Pegasei liquore fontis. Hic dat lautitias, iocos, lepores, Hic dat delitias, sonos{que} dulces, His iunxit numeros venustiores. Haurit{que} eloquium, phrasin{que} nostram Materno penitus sapore cultam: Perpende has pretio, has ames, emas{que}: Hae curas minuunt, leuant dolores, Tollunt taedia, si qua sunt molesta, Aspires igitur pio Whithorno, Praeclaro ingenio faue, vale{que}.Tho. Couert.
