Title: Amoretti: Sonnet 59
Author: Edmund Spenser [ More Titles by Spenser]
Thrise happie she that is so well assured Unto her selfe, and setled so in hart, That neither will for better be allured, Ne feard with worse to any chaunce to start: But, like a steddy ship, doth strongly part The raging waves, and kcepes her course aright, Ne ought for tempest doth from it depart, Ne ought for fayrer weathers false delight. Such selfe-assurance need not feare the spight Of grudging foes, ne favour seek of friends: But in the stay of her owne stedfast might, Neither to one her selfe nor other bends. Most happy she that most assur'd doth rest; But he most happy who such one loves best.
[The end] Edmund Spenser's poem: Amoretti: Sonnet 59 ________________________________________________
