Additional quotes by Edmund Spenser

Hark, how the cheerful birds do chaunt their lays, and carol of love's praise.

Her berth was of the wombe of morning dew, And her conception of the joyous Prime.

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

All this world's glory seemeth vain to me, And all their shows but shadows, saving she. - Edmund Spenser
