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

The fish once caught, new bait will hardly bite.
Edmund Spenser

And thus of all my harvest-hope I have Nought reaped but a weedye crop of care.
Edmund Spenser

So let us love, dear Love, like as we ought Love is the lesson which the Lord us taught.
Edmund Spenser
Image
How many great ones may remember'd be, Which in their days most famously did flourish, Of whom no word we hear, nor sign now see, But as things wip'd out with a sponge do perish, Because the living cared not to cherish No gentle wits, through pride or covetize, Which might their names forever memorize!
Edmund Spenser
Image
All that in this delightful garden grows should happy be and have immortal bliss.
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
Be bold, and everywhere be bold.
Edmund Spenser

The poets scrolls will outlive the monuments of stone. Genius survives all else is claimed by death.
Edmund Spenser
Image
Nothing under heaven so strongly doth allure the sense of man, and all his mind possess, as beauty's love.
