But what businesse hath driven you to this end of the towne?

My errand is to you, to make my self your scholler. And seeing I have found you at such convenient leisure, I am determined not to depart till I have one lesson in Musicke.

Among the rest of the guestes, by chaunce, master Aphron came thether also, who falling to discourse of Musicke, was in an argument so quickely taken up & hotly pursued by Eudoxus and Calergus, two kinsmen of Sophobolus, as in his owne art he was overthrowne. But he still sticking in his opinion, the two gentlemen requested mee to examine his reasons, and confute them. But I refusing & pretending ignorance, the whole companie condemned mee of discurtesie, being fully perswaded, that I had beene as skilfull in that art, as they tooke mee to be learned in others. But supper being ended, the Musicke bookes, according to the custome being brought to the table: the mistresse of the house presented mee with a part, earnestly requesting mee to sing. But when after manie excuses, I protested unfainedly that I could not: everie one began to wonder. Yea, some whispered to others, demaunding how I was brought up.
