Edmund Spenser Quote

Wrath, gealosie, griefe, loue do thus expell:Wrath is a fire, and gealosie a weede,Griefe is a flood, and loue a monster fell;The fire of sparkes, the weede of little seede,The flood of drops, the Monster filth did breede:But sparks, seed, drops, and filth do thus delay;The sparks soone quench, the springing seed outweed,The drops dry vp, and filth wipe cleane away:So shall wrath, gealosie, griefe, loue dye and decay.
