* Strange as it may seem�察�this distich is Spenser's own�察�and the other hexameters are all authentic。
Harvey be hanged for a pedant�察�and the whole crew of versifiers�察�from Lord Dorset ��but he�察�poor man�察�has been past hanging some time since�� to yourself� �Why delude you into playing Procrustes as he does with the queen's English�察�racking one word till its joints be pulled asunder�察�and squeezing the next all a´heap as the Inquisitors do heretics in their banca cava�拭 �Out upon him and you�察�and Sidney�察�and the whole kin。 You have not made a verse among you�察�and never will�察�which is not as lame a gosling as Harvey's own
'Oh thou weathercocke�察�that stands on the top of Allhallows�察 �Come thy ways down�察�if thou dar'st for thy crown�察�and take the wall on us。'
Hark�察�now� �There is our young giant comforting his soul with a ballad。 You will hear rhyme and reason together here�察�now。 He will not miscall 'blind´folded��' 'blind´fold´ed�察�I warrant�察�or make an 'of' and a 'which' and a 'his' carry a whole verse on their wretched little backs。;
And as he spoke�察�Amyas�察�who had been grumbling to himself some Christmas carol�察�broke out full´mouthed��
;As Joseph was a´walking He heard an angel sing 'This night shall be the birth night Of Christ�察�our heavenly King。
His birthbed shall be neither In housen nor in hall�察 �Nor in the place of paradise�察 �But in the oxen's stall。
He neither shall be rocked In silver nor in gold�察 �But in the wooden manger That lieth on the mould。
He neither shall be washen With white wine nor with red�察 �But with the fair spring water That on you shall be shed。
He neither shall be clothed In purple nor in pall�察 �But in the fair white linen That usen babies all。'
As Joseph was a´walking Thus did the angel sing�察 �And Mary's Son at midnight Was born to be our King。
Then be you glad�察�good people�察 �At this time of the year�察 �And light you up your candles�察 �For His star it shineth clear。;
;There�察�Edmunde Classicaster�察─�said Raleigh�察 �does not that simple strain go nearer to the heart of him who wrote 'The Shepherd's Calendar��' than all artificial and outlandish
'Wote ye why his mother with a veil hath covered his face��'
Why dost not answer�察�man�拭�
But Spenser was silent awhile�察�and then��
;Because I was thinking rather of the rhymer than the rhyme。 Good heaven� �how that brave lad shames me�察�singing here the hymns which his mother taught him�察�before the very muzzles of Spanish guns�察�instead of bewailing unmanly�察�as I have done�察�the love which he held�察�I doubt not�察�as dear as I did even my Rosalind。 This is his welcome to the winter's storm�察�while I�察�who dream�察�forsooth�察�of heavenly inspiration�察�can but see therein an image of mine own cowardly despair。
'Thou barren ground�察�whom winter's wrath has wasted�察 �Art made a mirror to behold my plight。'*
Pah� �away with frosts�察�icicles�察�and tears�察�and sighs;
* ;The Shepherd's Calendar。;
;And with hexameters and trimeters too�察�I hope�察─�interrupted Raleigh�此 �and all the trickeries of self´pleasing sorrow。;
;I will set my heart to higher work than barking at the hand which chastens me。;
;Wilt put the lad into the 'Faerie Queene��' then�察�by my side�拭 �He deserves as good a place there�察�believe me�察�as ever a Guyon�察�or even as Lord Grey your Arthegall。 Let us hail him。 Hallo� �young chanticleer of Devon� �Art not afraid of a chance shot�察�that thou crowest so lustily upon thine own mixen�拭�
;Cocks crow all night long at Christmas�察�Captain Raleigh�察�and so do I�察─�said Amyas's cheerful voice�察 �but who's there with you�拭�
;A penitent pupil of yoursMr。 Secretary Spenser。;
;Pupil of mine�拭─�said Amyas。 ;I wish he'd teach me a little of his art�察�I could fill up my time here with making verses。;
;And who would be your theme�察�fair sir�拭─�said Spenser。
;No 'who' at all。 I don't want to make sonnets to blue eyes�察�nor black either�此�but if I could put down some of the things I saw in the Spice Islands;
;Ah�察─�said Raleigh�察 �he would beat you out of Parnassus�察�Mr。 Secretary。 Remember�察�you may write about Fairyland�察�but he has seen it。;
;And so have others�察─�said Spenser�察 �it is not so far off from any one of us。 Wherever is love and loyalty�察�great purposes�察�and lofty souls�察�even though in a hovel or a mine�察�there is Fairyland。;
;Then Fairyland should be here�察�friend�察�for you represent love�察�and Leigh loyalty�察�while�察�as for great purposes and lofty souls�察�who so fit to stand for them as I�察�being ��unless my enemies and my conscience are liars both�� as ambitious and as proud as Lucifer's own self�拭�
;Ah�察�Walter�察�Walter�察�why wilt always slander thyself thus�拭�
;Slander�拭 �Tut。I do but give the world a fair challenge�察�and tell it�察�'Thereyou know the worst of me�此�come on and try a fall�察�for either you or I must down。' Slander�拭 �Ask Leigh here�察�who has but known me a fortnight�察�whether I am not as vain as a peacock�察�as selfish as a fox�察�as imperious as a bona roba�察�and ready to make a cat's paw of him or any man�察�if there be a chestnut in the fire�此�and yet the poor fool cannot help loving me�察�and running of my errands�察�and taking all my schemes and my dreams for gospel�察�and verily believes now�察�I think�察�that I shall be the man in the moon some day�察�and he my big dog。;
;Well�察─�said Amyas�察�half apologetically�察 �if you are the cleverest man in the world what harm in my thinking so�拭�
;Hearken to him�察�Edmund� �He will know better when he has outgrown this same callow trick of honesty�察�and learnt of the great goddess Detraction how to show himself wiser than the wise�察�by pointing out to the world the fool's motley which peeps through the rents in the philosopher's cloak。 Go to�察�lad� �slander thy equals�察�envy thy betters�察�pray for an eye which sees spots in every sun�察�and for a vulture's nose to scent carrion in every rose´bed。 If thy friend win a battle�察�show that he has needlessly thrown away his men�察�if he lose one�察�hint that he sold it�察�if he rise to a place�察�argue favor�察�if he fall from one�察�argue divine justice。 Believe nothing�察�hope nothing�察�but endure all things�察�even to kicking�察�if aught may be got thereby�察�so shalt thou be clothed in purple and fine linen�察�and sit in kings' palaces�察�and fare sumptuously every day。;
;And wake with Dives in the torment�察─�said Amyas。 ;Thank you for nothing�察�captain。;
;Go to�察�Misanthropos�察─�said Spenser。 ;Thou hast not yet tasted the sweets of this world's comfits�察�and thou railest at them�拭�
;The grapes are sour�察�lad。;
;And will be to the end�察─�said Amyas�察 �if they come off such a devil's tree as that。 I really think you are out of your mind�察�Captain Raleigh�察�at times。;
;I wish I were�察�for it is a troublesome�察�hungry�察�windy mind as man ever was cursed withal。 But come in�察�lad。 We were sent from the lord deputy to bid thee to supper。 There is a dainty lump of dead horse waiting for thee。;
;Send me some out�察�then�察─�said matter´of´fact Amyas。 ;And tell his lordship that�察�with his good leave�察�I don't stir from here till morning�察�if I can keep awake。 There is a stir in the fort�察�and I expect them out on us。;
;Tut�察�man� �their hearts are broken。 We know it by their deserters。;
;Seeing's believing。 I never trust runaway rogues。 If they are false to their masters�察�they'll be false to us。;
;Well�察�go thy ways�察�old honesty�察�and Mr。 Secretary shall give you a book to yourself in the 'Faerie Queene''Sir Monoculus or the Legend of Common Sense��' eh�察�Edmund�拭�
;Monoculus�拭�
;Ay�察�Single´eye�察�my prince of word´coinerswon't that fit��And give him the Cyclops head for a device。 Heigh´ho� �They may laugh that win。 I am sick of this Irish work�察�were it not for the chance of advancement I'd sooner be driving a team of red Devons on Dartside�察�and now I am angry with the dear lad because he is not sick of it too。 What a plague business has he to be paddling up and down�察�contentedly doing his duty�察�like any city watchman�拭 �It is an insult to the mighty aspirations of our nobler hearts��eh�察�my would´be Ariosto�拭�
;Ah�察�Raleigh� �you can afford to confess yourself less than some�察�for you are greater than all。 Go on and conquer�察�noble heart� �But as for me�察�I sow the wind�察�and I suppose I shall reap the whirlwind。;
;Your harvest seems come already�察�what a blast that was� �Hold on by me�察�Colin Clout�察�and I'll hold on by thee。 So� �Don't tread on that pikeman's stomach�察�lest he take thee for a marauding Don�察�and with sudden dagger slit Cohn's pipe�察�and Colin's weasand too。;
And the two stumbled away into the darkness�察�leaving Amyas to stride up and down as before�察�puzzling his brains over Raleigh's wild words and Spenser's melancholy�察�till he came to the conclusion that there was some mysterious connection between cleverness and unhappiness�察�and thanking his stars that he was neither scholar�察�courtier�察�nor poet�察�said grace over his lump of horseflesh when it arrived�察�devoured it as if it had been venison�察�and then returned to his pacing up and down�察�but this time in silence�察�for the night was drawing on�察�and there was no need to tell the Spaniards that any one was awake and watchin
