The Faerie Queene. Book I. Canto I • Paragraph 4
Stage 1 of 6

Read it through once

For virtues sake the gentle hart to move, And eke to make triumphant armes to queene. Lo when I sing of vertues and of fayre, Foule Envie hight, that doth all good deface, And will not let sweet vertu full well appeare, But sheweth foule in ugly worldly case.
