An’ there he found a drown’d woman.

For gold and pearle that were so rare.”

“Good my lord,
You have begot me, bred me, loved me. I
Return those duties back as are right fit,
Obey you, love you, and most honor you.
Why have my sisters husbands if they say
They love you all? Haply, when I shall wed,
That lord whose hand must take my plight shall carry
Half my love with him, half my care and duty.
Sure I shall never marry like my sisters,
To love my father all.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

Castalian sisters sing, if wanting thee.
Horace, Anacreon both had lost their fame.
Had’st thou not filled them with thy fire and flame.”
