Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Edmund Spenser, Vol. 4: The Carefully Revised, and Illustrated With Notes, Original and Selected The waies, through which my weary steps I guyde In this delightfull land of Faery, Are so exceeding spacious and wyde, And sprinckled with such sweet variety Of all that pleasant is to eare or eye, That I, nigh ravisht with rare thoughts delight, My tedious travell doe forget thereby; And, when I gin to feele decay of might, It strength to me suppUes and chears my dulled spright. Such secret comfort and such heavenly pleasures, Ye, sacred Imps, that on Parnasso dwell. And there the keeping have of Learnings threasures, Which doe all worldly riches farre excell, Into the mindes of mortall men doe well, And goodly fury into them infuse.
