I tried Oxford's Sixteenth Century Verse but that only has one poem by Joshua 
Sylvester and those lines aren't in it. Ditto my other poetry anthologies. 
   
  Hopefully, someone with a more extensive 16th-17th cen. poetry library will 
be able to find that poem for you.

  Dear lute netters,

does anybody know where this is drawn from?

"For, as an old, rude, rotten, tune-less Kit, If famous Douland daign to
finger it Makes sweeter musick than the choicest Lute In the grosse
handling of a clownish Brute."
Joshua Sylvester, 1606
