Yup. Usuals. Got it.

This time (my bad) I’ve not read it all.

The fricking book is HUGE.

‘Parently it was written for the Virgin Queen. Betty One.

 

“Ah lucklesse babe, borne vnder cruell starre,
And in dead parents balefull ashes bred,
Full litle weenest thou, what sorrowes are
Left thee for portion of thy liuelihed,
Poore Orphane in the wide world scattered,
As budding braunch rent from the natiue tree,
And throwen forth, till it be withered:
Such is the state of men: thus enter wee
Into this life with woe, and end with miseree.”
― Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene
