Edmund Spenser
compare Sidney’s famous sonnet about the inability to write – though in this sonnet of Spenser’s he does not simply “speak his heart” openly but is left sort of talking to himself within his heart
As in the whole sequence, the object of the poet’s love stuns and inspires him in both flesh and spiri...
The soverayne beauty which I doo admyre,
witnesse the world how worthy to be prayzed:
the light whereof hath kindled heavenly fyre,
in my fraile spirit by her from basenesse raysed.
That being now with her huge brightnesse dazed,
base thing I can no more endure to view:
but looking still on her I stand amazed,
at wondrous sight of so celestiall hew.
So when my toung would speak her praises dew,
it stopped is with thoughts astonishment:
and when my pen would write her titles true,
it ravisht is with fancies wonderment:
Yet in my hart I then both speake and write
the wonder that my wit cannot endite.
Edmund Spenser released Amoretti: Sonnet 3 on Sun Jan 01 1595.
