The chief and most obvious device is that suggested by the title The Shepherd's Calender 'Conteyning twelve Aeglogues proportionable to the twelve monethes. This might, indeed, have been no more than a fanciful name for any series of twelve poems; with Spenser it indicates a conscious principle of artistic construction.

The purpose of the Universal calender is, says the Engineer, to enable limited quantities of goods to be finished in various ways without requiring different machines.

All I got was a 'Come to Jesus' Christmas card, with brindle fringe, from Ma, and Pa gave me a pair of his old suspenders, and a calender with mottoes for every month, some quotations from scripture, such as 'honor thy father and mother, and 'evil communications corrupt two in the bush, and a bird in the hand beats two pair.
