CANTVS. Of Duos, or Songs for two voices, composed and made by Thomas Whythorne Gent. Of the which, some be playne and easie to be sung, or played on Musicall Instruments, & be made for yong beginners of both those sorts. And the rest of these Duos be made and set foorth for those that be more perfect in singing or playing as aforesaid, all the which be deuided into three parts. That is to say:
- The first, which doth begin at the first song, are made for a man and a childe to sing, or otherwise for voices or Instruments of Musicke, that be of the like compasse or distance in sound.
- The second, which doth begin at the XXIII. song, are made for two children to sing. Also they be aptly made for two treble Cornets to play or sound: or otherwise for voices or Musicall Instruments, that be of the lyke compasse or distance in sound.
- And the third part which doth begin at the XXXVIII. song, (being all Canons of two parts in one) be of diuers compasses or distances, and therefore are to be vsed with voices or Instruments of Musicke accordingly.

IN VERITATE VICTORIA
To the right worshipfull, ma [...]ter Francis Hastings, brother to the right honorable, and most noble Erle of Huntington, Thomas Whythorne wisheth all godly felicitie, and life euerlasting, in Iesus Christ our onely Sauiour.
HAuing vnderstanding (right worshipfull sir) that neither before, nor since that I published in print Musick for three, foure & fiue voices, which is now almost twentie yeeres past, ther hath not any one of our nation published in print any Musick for two voices (as diuers strangers in forrein countries haue don heretofore) And I knowing that many of our nation haue bene very desirous to haue some published, not onely such louers of Musick as doe dwell in and nye vnto the Citie of London, and the other cities and townes within this Realme where conuenient companies may sone be had to sing songs for more voices then two, but also chiefely such as doe dwell in the countries far from any of those cities & townes, where such company can be had so soone to sing as aforesaid. In consideration whereof I haue now published in print these Duos or songs for two voices to pleasure them and all others that be so affected. And now knowing that your worship is a fauorer of Musick, & hath good iudgement therein, I am the more encouraged to present this worke of myne vnto you, I doe confesse that the guift therof is but small and simple, yet such as it is, it is rare in the respect of the noueltie thereof, and therfore I doe the more willingly giue it vnto you, as a token of a zelous affection, and dutifull loue, that I do beare vnto you. And thus dedicating and yeelding this same to your worships Patronage and protection, I doe commit you to the tuition of the Almightie, to whom I dayly pray to giue you, and my very good ladie your bedfellow, a long and prosperous estate, with the lyke lyfe, and at the ende thereof, to bring and receiue you both into his place of eternal ioy and all true blessednesse.
