Image
Man's wretched state, That floures so fresh at morne, and fades at evening late.
Edmund Spenser
Image
But O the exceeding grace Of highest God, that loves his creatures so, And all his works with mercy doth embrace, That blessed angels, he sends to and fro, To serve to wicked man, to serve his wicked foe.
Edmund Spenser
Image
What though the sea with waves continuall Doe eate the earth, it is no more at all Ne is the earth the lesse, or loseth ought : For whatsoever from one place doth fall Is with the tyde unto another brought : For there is nothing lost, that may be found if sought.

Bright as does the morning star appear, Out of the east with flaming locks bedight, To tell the dawning day is drawing near.

Ah! when will this long weary day have end, And lende me leave to come unto my love? - Epithalamion
Edmund Spenser
Image
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
Image
For if good were not praised more than ill, None would chuse goodness of his own free will.
Edmund Spenser
