Prick'-sŏng, n.

noun

n. [See PRICK, v. t., 4.] Music written down;—sometimes more particularly, music in parts; so called from the points, or dots, with which it is noted down. When opposed to plain-song, it means counter-point. [Obs.]

He fights as you sing prick-song; keeps time, distance, and proportion. Shak.
