Title: Amoretti: Sonnet 69
Author: Edmund Spenser [ More Titles by Spenser]
The famous warriors of the anticke world Us'd trophees to erect in stately wize, In which they would the records have enrold Of theyr great deeds and valorous emprize. What trophee then shall I most fit devize, In which I may record the memory Of my loves conquest, peerlesse beauties prise, Adorn'd with honour, love, and chastity! Even this verse, vowd to eternity, Shall be thereof immortall moniment, And tell her praise to all posterity, That may admire such worlds rare wonderment; The happy purchase of my glorious spoile, Gotten at last with labour and long toyle.
[The end] Edmund Spenser's poem: Amoretti: Sonnet 69 ________________________________________________
