C 5. Of the Swarming of Bees, 
Safe to the young Princes Treble, (as commonly ftie doth, 
though fometime fcarccly intreated in a day or two ) then 
doth fire confent. And therefore, vnldlefoule weather flay 
P. them till it bee too late, v: you may affuredly lookc for a 
fwarme. Which fcldome arifeththc next day, although the 
weather be verie pleafant}orthc next day, vnlelfe the wea- 
ther bee verie plcafant: but after the third nights warning, 
they will accept indifferent weather , fuch as the prime- 
fwarmes will not come abroad in. And as the Queenes voice 
isagrant,fohirfilenceisa flatdcniall: the Proucrbe hcere 
hath no place, fffui tacet confent ire vtdetur ; For without this 
Concent there is no Confent. 
This fong being contained within the compare of an 
Eight horn G-fel-fa-vt to C-fol-fa, the Prince compofeth hir 
part within the fourc vpper Chefes G,AfB and C vfually in 
triple moode, beginning with an odde Mirim in G-fol-re- 
vt, and tuning the reft of hir notes, whereof the firft is a 
Semibrief e , in « A-la-mi-re, Sometime ftie taketh a higher 
key, founding the odde UWinim in A-la-mi-re , and the reft 
itxS-fa-b-mi. Sometime, fpecially toward their comming 
forth , fhe rifeth yet higher to C-fol.fa, holding the time of 
three or foure Semtbriefes, more or Idle. Now and then fhee 
beginneth in duple time fome two or three Semibricfes, but 
alwaies endeth with Minims ©f the triple Moode. 
The Queenes part, contained within the fourc lower 
Clicfcs, conlifteth of (jMinims altogether in triple moode ; 
commonly in Fa-fa-vt, fometime in ( f-fol-fa-vt , fometime in 
the other two Cliefes betweenethem : continuing hir tunc 
the time of nine or ten Semibrief es more or lelfe. 
Sometime a third Princeife imitating the Queenes voice 
in time, though differing haply in tune,ioyneth with them, 
the more, with their full noife, to incite the fwarme to goe, 
that hir turnc may come the fooner. And fometime a fourth 
alfo interpofeth hir Minims to fill vp the Quire. But none 
dare counterfeit the voice of the chiefe Prince, for that were 
treafonto hir perfon (and yet fometime one of them, in 
hope to part the fwarme, will fteale out with hir:) which, if 
the fwarme be not parted, or being parted be put together, 
r *c. i coftcth her hir lifev: as well as the liues of fome of hir fol- j 
lowers.
