MADRIGALL 9.

[For glorie pleasure and fayre florishing]

For glorie pleasure and fayre florishing,
Sweet singing, courtly dauncing, curious loue
A rich remembrance vertues nurrishing,
For sacred care of heauenly things
For voyces sweetnesse musickes notes aboue

35

When she deuinely speakes or sings
Cleio dismount, Euterpe silent bee,
Thalia for thy purple put on sack-cloath,
Sing hoarse Melpomine with Ioues Harpies three,
Terpsichore breake of thy galliard daunces,
Leaue Erato thy daliance, court in black-cloath,
Thy prayses Polymneia she inhaunces,
For heauenly zeale Vrania she outreacheth,
Pleade not Calliope sing not to thy Lute,
Ioue and Mnemosine both be mute
Whilst my Parthenophe your daughters teacheth.
