Poem by John Keats

A Spenserian Stanza

Written at the Close of
Canto II, Book V, of "The Faerie Queene"

  In after-time, a sage of mickle lore
  Yclep'd Typographus, the Giant took,
  And did refit his limbs as heretofore,
  And made him read in many a learned book,
  And into many a lively legend look;
  Thereby in goodly themes so training him,
  That all his brutishness he quite forsook,
  When, meeting Artegall and Talus grim,
The one he struck stone-blind, the other's eyes wox dim.

1. Song (“I had a dove and the sweet dove died”)
