Additional quotes by Edmund Spenser

As the great eye of heaven, shyned bright, And made a sunshine in the shady place.

So long in secret cabin there he held
Her captive to his sensual desire

Emongst the Roses grow some wicked weeds;
For this was not to love, but lust inclind;
For love does alwayes bring forth bounteous deeds,
And in each gentle hart desire of honour breeds.

I hate the day, because it lendeth light To see all things, but not my love to see. - Edmund Spenser
