Edmund Spenser Quote

Faire Ladies, that to loue captiued arre,And chaste desires do nourish in your mind,Let not her fault your sweet affections marre,Ne blot the bounty of all womankind;'Mongst thousands good one wanton Dame to find:Emongst the Roses grow some wicked weeds;For this was not to loue, but lust inclind;For loue does alwayes bring forth bounteous deeds,And in each gentle hart desire of honour breeds.
