Additional quotes by Edmund Spenser

For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.

Ay me, how many perils doe enfold The righteous man, to make him daily fall!

For trumpets sterne to chaunge mine Oaten reeds,
And sing of Knights and Ladies gentle deeds;

Behold, whiles she before the altar stands, Hearing the holy priest that to her speakes, And blesseth her with his two happy hands. - Edmund Spenser
