THE Vocal and Instrumental MUSICK OF THE PROPHETESS, OR THE HISTORY OF DIOCLESIAN.

COMPOSED By Henry Purcell, Organist of Their MAJESTIES Chappel, and of St. Peters Westminster.

LONDON, Printed by J. Heptinstall, for the Author, and are to be Sold by John Carr, at his Shop at the Middle-Temple Gate near Temple-Barr. MDCXCI.

To His GRACE CHARLES Duke of Somerset, Earl of HARTFORD, Viscount Beauchamp of HATCH, Baron Seymour of TROWBRIDGE, Chancellor of the University of CAMBRIDGE, Lord High Steward of CHICHESTER, And Knight of the most Noble Order of the GARTER.

YOUR Grace has been pleas'd so particularly to favour the Composition of the Musick in Dioclesian, that from thence I have been encourag'd to this presumption of De­dicating not only It, but also the unworthy Author of it to Your Protection. All Arts and Sciences have receiv'd their first encouragement from Great Persons, and owe their Propagation and Success to Their esteem: like some sort of Fruit-trees, which being of a tender Constitution, and delicate in their Nature, require the shadow of the Cedar to shield their Infancy from Blites and Storms.

Musick and Poetry have ever been acknowledg'd Sisters, which walking hand in hand, support each other; As Poetry is the harmo­ny of Words, so Musick is that of Notes: and as Poetry is a Rise above Prose and Oratory, so is Musick the exaltation of Poetry. Both of them may excel apart, but sure they are most excellent when they are joyn'd, because nothing is then wanting to either of their Perfections: for thus they appear like Wit and Beauty in the same Person. Poetry and Painting have arriv'd to their perfection in our own Country: Musick is yet but in its Nonage, a forward Child, [Page] which gives hope of what it may be hereafter in England, when the Masters of it shall find more Encouragement. 'Tis now learning Italian, which is its best Master, and studying a little of the French Air, to give it somewhat more of Gayety and Fashion. Thus being farther from the Sun, we are of later Growth than our Neighbour Countries, and must be content to shake off our Barbarity by degrees. The present Age seems already dispos'd to be refin'd, and to distin­guish betwixt wild Fancy, and a just, numerous Composition. So far the Genius of Your Grace has already prevail'd on Us: Many of the Nobility and Gentry have follow'd Your Illustrious Example in the Patronage of Musick. Nay even our Poets begin to grow asham'd of their harsh and broken Numbers, and promise to file our uncouth Language into smoother Words.

Once more, therefore, I presume to offer My Self and this Com­position with all humility to Your Grace's Protection, at least till I can redeem so mean a Present by One which may better deserve Your Acceptation. Be pleas'd to pardon my Ambition, which had no other means to obtain the Honour of being made known to You, but only this. The Town, which has been so indulgent to my first Endeavours in this kind, has encourag'd me to proceed in the same Attempt; and Your Favour to this Trifle will be a good Omen not only to the Success of the Next, but also to all the future Performances of

Your Grace's most Obedient and most Obliged Servant, HENRY PURCELL

II.

Since gods themselves, could not ever be Loving,
Men must have breathing Recruits for new Joys;
I wish my Love could be ever Improving,
The eager Love, more than sorrow destroys.
In fair Aurelia's Arms, leave me expiring,
To be Imbalm'd by the sweets of her breath;
To the last moment I'll, still be desiring;
Never had Hero so glorious a Death.

FINIS.

Advertisement.

IN order to the speedier Publication of this Book, I employed two several Printers; but One of them falling into some trouble, and the Volume swelling to a Bulk beyond my expectation, have been the Occa­sions of this Delay.

It has been objected that some of the Songs are already common; but I presume that the Subscribers, upon perusal of the Work, will easily be convinc'd that they are not the Essential Parts of it.

I have, according to my Promise in the Proposals, been very carefull in the Examination of every Sheet, and hope the Whole will appear as Cor­rect as any yet Extant.

My desire to make it as cheap as possibly I cou'd to the Subscribers, prevail'd with me so far above the consideration of my own Interest, that I find, too late, the Subscription-money will scarcely amount to the Ex­pence of compleating this Edition.
