Edmund Spenser (Эдмунд Спенсер)

Amoretti 33. Great wrong I doe, I can it not deny

Great wrong I doe, I can it not deny,
To that most sacred empresse, my dear dred,
Not finishing her Queene of Faëry,
That mote enlarge her living prayses, dead.
But Lodwick*, this of grace to me aread:
Do ye not thinck th’accomplishment of it
Sufficient worke for one mans simple head,
All were it, as the rest, but rudely writ?
How then should I, without another wit,
Thinck ever to endure so tedious toyle,
Sith that this one is tost with troublous fit
Of a proud Love, that doth my spirite spoyle?
  Cease, then, till she vouchsafe to grawnt me rest,
  Or lend you me another living brest.

[* I.e. Lodowick Bryskett.] 

1. Amoretti 5. Then was the faire Dodonian tree far seene
2. Amoretti 77. Was it a dreame, or did I see it playne?
3. Amoretti 41. Is it her nature, or is it her will
4. Amoretti 11. Dayly when I do seeke and sew for peace
5. Amoretti 65. The doubt which ye misdeeme, fayre Love, is vaine
