Who will not mercy unto others show, How can he mercy ever hope to have?
Edmund Spenser
For all that faire is, is by nature goodThat is a signe to know the gentle blood.
Edmund Spenser
Man's wretched state, That floures so fresh at morne, and fades at evening late.
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
For if good were not praised more than ill, None would chuse goodness of his own free will.
Edmund Spenser

Edmund Spenser
Fly from wrath sad be the sights and bitter fruits of war a thousand furies wait on wrathful swords.

Edmund Spenser
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
Men, when their actions succeed not as they would, are always ready to impute the blame thereof to heaven, so as to excuse their own follies.
Edmund Spenser
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
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
Such is the power of love in gentle mind, That it can alter all the course of kind.
Edmund Spenser
All that in this world is great or gay, Doth, as a vapor, vanish and decay.
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
Gather the rose of love whilst yet is time.
Edmund Spenser
Change still doth reign, and keep the greater sway.
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
