Sivu 218 - His state and present plight. vertueis so fitting for a knight, Or for a ladie whom a knight should love, As curtesie, to beare themselves aright To all of each degree as doth behove ? For whether they be placed high above Or low beneath, yet ought they well to know Their good, that none them rightly may reprove Of rudenesse, for not yeelding what they owe ; Great skill it is such duties timely to bestow.
Sivu 167 - And the dull drops, that from his purpled bill, As from a limbeck, did adown distill. In his right hand a tipped staffe he held, With which his feeble steps he stayed still: For he was faint with cold, and weak with eld; That scarse his loosed limbes he hable was to weld.

Sivu 84 - In vaine' (said then old Meliboe) 'doe men The heavens of their fortunes fault accuse, Sith they know best what is the best for them; For they to each such fortune doe diffuse, As they doe know each can most aptly use: For not that which men covet most is best, Nor that thing worst which men do most refuse ; But fittest is, that all contented rest With that they hold : each hath his fortune in his brest.
Sivu 95 - All they without were raunged in a ring, And daunced round; but in the midst of them Three other Ladies did both daunce and sing, The whilest the rest them round about did hemme, And like a girlond did in compasse stemme...

Sivu 167 - Then came the Autumn, all in yellow clad, As though he joyed in his plenteous store, Laden with fruits that made him laugh, full glad That he had...
Sivu 113 - As beauties lovely baite, that doth procure Great warriours oft their rigour to represse, And mighty hands forget their manlinesse ; Drawne with the powre of an heart-robbing eye, And wrapt in fetters of a golden tresse.
