A Letter written by a Gentleman to the Author, his friend.
Author ipse φιλοπάρθενος ad libellum suum.
Amoris Præludium. [Vel, Epistola ad Amicam.]
Sic incipit Stultorum Tragicomedia.
These Sonnets following were written by the Author (who giveth himself this feigned name of Philoparthen as his accidental attribute), at divers times, and upon divers occasions; and therefore in the form and matter they differ, and sometimes are quite contrary one to another: which ought not to be misliked, considering the very nature and quality of Love; which is a Passion full of variety, and contrariety in itself.
Love's Accusation at the Judgement Seat of Reason; wherein the Author's whole success in his love is covertly deciphered.
Love Deciphered.
Love's Last Will and Testament.
The Sonnets following were written by the Author, after he began to decline from his Passionate Affection; and in them, he seemeth to please himself with describing the Vanity of Love, the Frailty of Beauty, and the sour fruits of Repentance.
