About

Spenser defends himself to a friend for delaying the completion of his epic Faerie Queene in order to write this lyric sequence. He chooses love over duty.

Amoretti: Sonnet 33 Annotated

Great wrong I doe, I can it not deny,
to that most sacred Empresse my dear dred,
not finishing her Queene of faëry,
that mote enlarge her living prayses dead:
But lodwick, this of grace to me aread:
doe ye not thinck th'accomplishment of it,
sufficient worke for one mans simple head,
all were it as the rest but rudely writ.
How then should I without another wit:
thinck ever to endure so tædious toyle,
sins that this one is tost with troublous fit
of a proud love, that doth my spirite spoyle.
Ceasse then, till she vouchsafe to grawnt me rest,
or lend you me another living brest.
