While Greville might have found offence in explicit religious icons, his notions of what was acceptable in terms of the rendering of complex iconographies in art must have been formed amidst the intense (and often spiritual) symbolism of Elizabeth's court portraiture, and the flamboyance of masques and tournaments in which he participated willingly.
If Greville's idea of the form was preconceived and constant, but his approach to its realisation was progressively refined, then these three poems may have been an important unit in an earlier stage of the construction of the sequence: their combined line total is 364, equal to stanza total of the manuscript as it stands.
Greville's adoption of the scheme of his friend and hero--the man in whose tomb he had wanted to be buried displays his intimate knowledge of Sidney's creative intent and confirms the spiritual import of the proportional form.

 Uneasy Rhetoric » Blog Archive » Fulke Greville
Generally speaking English poetry anthologies have very little Greville, and if they have any at all it is likely to be the Chorus Sacerdotum from Mustapha, a “closet drama” (short definition: meant to be read not acted).
Besides the relative appropriateness of the Chorus to academic life, Greville is an excellent choice because his poetry is so dense, rhetorical, and sometimes Latinate; in short, a poetry academic’s wet dream.
It doesn’t hurt that both of his plays have “oriental” (Turkish) themes, lending themselves to analysis of the “other,” or that Greville was a bureaucrat par excellence, lending his entire oeuvre to historicism.
