That wondrous patterne, wheresoe’er it be, Whether in earth laid up in secret store, Or else in heav’n, that no man may it see With sinful eyes, for feare it to deflore, Is perfect Beautie.—SPENSER. The Scheme Of Necessity Denies That Man Is Responsible For The Existence Of Sin. Ye, who live, Do so each cause refer to Heaven above, E’en as its motion, of necessity, Drew with it all that moves.
Instead thereof he kist her wearie feet, And lickt her lilly hands with fawning tong; As he her wrongéd innocence did weet. O how can beautie maister the most strong, And simple truth subdue avenging wrong! MINOR POEMS. Next to his masterpiece, the Shepherd's Calendar is the best known of Spenser's poems; though, as his first work, it is below many others in melody.
And she that hadde but beautie alone, thoughe her qualities ware not so excellente, yet for her honestie that beside forth was singuler in theim all, founde that beautie and honestie could not be vnmaried.

And for that thei sette muche by beautie, thei cary aboute with theim phanelles to defende them from the sonne, and leaue nothyng vndone, that maketh for the bettre grace of their faces.
Canst thou prouide mee ere a bondmaide, indued with singular & diuine qualified beautie, whome as a present from our synagogue thou maist commend vnto her, desiring her to be good and gracious vnto vs. I haue, I am for you quoth Zadoch: Diamante come forth. She will, said Zacharie: and therefore Ile tell you what charge I would haue committed to her. But I care not if I disclose it onely to her.
On the other side if wee passed further toward the North to seeke out Port Royall, it would be neither very profitable nor conuenient: at the least if wee should giue credit to the report of them which remained there a long time, although the Hauen were one of the fairest of the West Indies: but that in this case the question was not so much of the beautie of the place, as of things necessary to sustaine life.
