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

The poets scrolls will outlive the monuments of stone. Genius survives all else is claimed by death.
Edmund Spenser
Image
My Love is like to ice, and I to fire: How comes it then that this her cold so great Is not dissolved through my so hot desire, But harder grows the more I her entreat?
Edmund Spenser
Image
Nothing under heaven so strongly doth allure the sense of man, and all his mind possess, as beauty's love.
Edmund Spenser
Image
For all that faire is, is by nature goodThat is a signe to know the gentle blood.
Edmund Spenser
Image
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
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
Change still doth reign, and keep the greater sway.
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.
Edmund Spenser
Image
So let us love, dear Love, like as we ought Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.
Edmund Spenser
Image
I learned have, not to despise,What ever thing seemes small in common eyes.
Edmund Spenser
Image
Rising glory occasions the greatest envy, as kindling fire the greatest smoke.
Edmund Spenser
Image
For evil deeds may better than bad words be borne.
Edmund Spenser
Image
For of the soule the bodie forme doth take For the soule is forme, and doth the bodie make.
Edmund Spenser
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Good is no good, but if it be spend, God giveth good for none other end.
Edmund Spenser
Image
But angels come to lead frail minds to rest in chaste desires, on heavenly beauty bound. You frame my thoughts, and fashion me within you stop my tongue, and teach my heart to speak.
Edmund Spenser
Image
The fish once caught, new bait will hardly bite.
Edmund Spenser
Image
Fly from wrath sad be the sights and bitter fruits of war a thousand furies wait on wrathful swords.
