Additional quotes by Edmund Spenser

Huge sea of sorrow, and tempestuous griefe,
Wherein my feeble barke is tossed long,
Far from the hoped hauen of reliefe,
Why doe thy cruel billowes beat so strong,
And thy moyst mountaines each on others throng,
Threatening to swallow vp my fearfull lyfe?

The noblest mind the best contentment has.

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

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