| Seccombe and Arber, comps. Elizabethan Sonnets. 1904. | | | | Parthenophil and Parthenophe | | Madrigal 9. For glory, pleasure, and fair flourishing | | Barnabe Barnes (1569?–1609) |
| | | FOR glory, pleasure, and fair flourishing; | |
| Sweet singing, courtly dancing, curious love, | |
| A rich remembrance; virtue’s nourishing; | |
| For sacred care of heavenly things; | |
| For voice’s sweetness, music’s notes above, | 5 |
| When she divinely speaks or sings: | |
| CLIO, dismount! EUTERPE, silent be! | |
| THALIA, for thy purple, put on sackcloth! | |
| Sing hoarse, MELPOMENE! with JOVE’s Harpies three! | |
| TERPSICHORE, break off thy galliard dances! | 10 |
| Leave, ERATO, thy daliance! court in black cloth! | |
| Thy praises, POLYHYMNIA! She enhances. | |
| For heavenly zeal, URANIA, She outreacheth. | |
| Plead not, CALLIOPE! Sing not to thy lute! | |
| JOVE and MNEMOSINE, both, be mute! | 15 |
| While my PARTHENOPHE, your daughters teacheth. | | | | |
