GREENES FUNERALLS: SONNET 3, by RICHARD BARNFIELD Poet's Biography First Line: Yee dainty damsels of dianes traine Last Line: That meanes to sound, his never dying name. Alternate Author Name(s): Barnefield, Richard | ||||||||
Yee dainty Damsels of Dianes Traine, That long to dally, with your loved Lords: And you brave Gallant, high resolved Lords. That love to gaze, upon your stately Starrs. He he is dead, that kild you with disdaine: And often fedde your friendly hopes againe. He he is dead, that wrote of your delights: That wrote of Ladies, and of Parramours: Of budding beautie, and hir branched leaves, Of sweet content in royall Nuptialls. He he is dead, that kild you with disdaine: And often fed your friendly hopes againe. His gadding Muse, although it ran of love, Yet did hee sweetly morralize, his songs: Ne ever gave the looser cause to laugh, Ne men of Iudgment, for to be offended. But as he often kild them with disdaine: So did he often feede their hopes againe. And though he often told of things to come. In love more like a Prophet than a Poet: Yet did he wisely interlace the one, With Sages sayings, ever mixt among. And though he often fedde their pleasing paine: Yet did he often kill them with disdaine. Wherefore yee dainty Damsels of renowne, That long to dallie, with your loved Lords: And you brave Gallant, worthy noble Lords, That love to dandle in your Ladies lapps. Come hither come, and lend your mouths to Fame: That meanes to sound, his never dying name. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SONNET TO HIS FRIEND R.L.
