Additional quotes by Edmund Spenser

He oft finds med'cine, who his griefe imparts;
But double griefs afflict concealing harts,
As raging flames who striveth to supresse.

The noblest mind the best contentment has.

Vaine is the vaunt, and victory unjust, that more to mighty hands, then rightfull cause doth trust.

And in his hand a sickle he did holde, To reape the ripened fruits the which the earth had yold. - Edmund Spenser
