The "Faerie Queene" for Spencer was his pet. The form and style would ever take his name. All poets, past and present owe a debt to "Ed", who introduced his royal dame. We know the reformation was his aim, Elizabeth to honor and exalt... And by the way his lines of nine became a literary form devoid of fault, above another queen, the sonnet, to assault.
Notes: Changed Feary to Faerie, TY PP & M Added "and" to line 7 TY Cleo
