The Shepherd's Calendar: Twelve Aeglogues Proportionable To The Twelve Months (1898) QUOTES

1 " Ah for pittie, wil ranke Winters rage,
These bitter blasts neuer ginne tasswage?
The keene cold blowes throug my beaten hyde,
All as I were through the body gryde.
My ragged rontes all shiver and shake,
As doen high Towers in an earthquake:
They wont in the wind wagge their wrigle tailes,
Perke as Peacock: but nowe it auales. "

― Edmund Spenser , The Shepherd's Calendar: Twelve Aeglogues Proportionable To The Twelve Months (1898)

2 " And he that strives to touch the stars
Oft stumbles at a straw. "

― Edmund Spenser , The Shepherd's Calendar: Twelve Aeglogues Proportionable To The Twelve Months (1898)
