In 1596, Morley was granted by Queen Elizabeth the monopoly of music printing, upon the expiration of William Byrd's patent,2 and promptly assiged it in his turn to its current holder Thomas East, but clearly employed it to help him promote not only his own work, but also the Italianate madrigal in general.
The Canzonets for five and six voices (1597) contain Morley's maturest work and reveal him well in sad and affecting moods as well as cheerful: he was clearly of a mercurial temperament.

Today's generation, and perhaps their parents as well have not heard of marvels like the 9-point circle, Descartes's theorem, Ceva's Theorem, or the marvel of marvels, the Morley triangle.
After all, Morley's theorem states that in Figure 1, the inner triangle always will be equilateral.
For this triangle we know two sides and the included angle, (SAS), so the remaining angles are determined, and they must be A/3 and B/3, which one verifies by once again using the law of sines.
