More quotes by Edmund Spenser
She bathed with roses red, And violets blew. And all the sweetest flowres That in the forrest grew.
Edmund Spenser
Bright as does the morning star appear, Out of the east with flaming locks bedight, To tell the dawning day is drawing near.
Edmund Spenser
There learned arts do flourish in great honour And poets's wits are had in peerless price Religion hath lay power, to rest upon her, Advancing virtue, and suppressing vice. For end all good, all grace there freely grows, Had people grace it gratefully to use: For God His gifts there plenteously bestows, But graceless men them greatly do abuse.
Edmund Spenser
The noblest mind the best contentment has
Edmund Spenser
So Orpheus did for his owne bride, So I unto my selfe alone will sing, The woods shall to me answer and my Eccho ring.
Edmund Spenser

Edmund Spenser
A circle cannot fill a triangle, so neither can the whole world, if it were to be compassed, the heart of man a man may as easily fill a chest with grace as the heart with gold. The air fills not the body, neither doth money the covetous mind of man.
Edmund Spenser
What more felicitie can fall to creature Than to enjoy delight with libertie, And to be lord of all the workes of Nature, To raine in th' aire from earth to highest skie, To feed on flowres and weeds of glorious feature.
Edmund Spenser
And thus of all my harvest-hope I have Nought reaped but a weedye crop of care.
Edmund Spenser
For since mine eyes your joyous sight did miss, my cheerful day is turned to cheerless night.
Edmund Spenser
Hard it is to teach the old horse to amble anew.
Edmund Spenser
For evil deeds may better than bad words be borne.
Edmund Spenser
Those that were up themselves, kept others low Those that were low themselves, held others hard He suffered them to ryse or greater grow But every one did strive his fellow down to throw.
Edmund Spenser
Laws ought to be fashioned unto the manners and conditions of the people whom they are meant to benefit, and not imposed upon them according to the simple rule of right.
Edmund Spenser
All that in this delightful garden grows should happy be and have immortal bliss.
Edmund Spenser
Nothing under heaven so strongly doth allure the sense of man, and all his mind possess, as beauty's love.
Edmund Spenser
