Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Faerie Queene, Vol. 4: A New Edition With Notes Critical and Explanatory The Fifth Booke Of II. For from the golden age, that first was named, Its now at earst become a stonie one; And men themselves, the which at first were framed Of earthly mould, and form´d of flesh and bone, Are now transformed into hardest stone; Such as behind their backs (so backward bred) Were throwne by Pyrrha and Deucalione: And if then those may any worse be red, They into that erelong will be degenered. III. Let none then blame me, if, in discipline Of vertue and of civill uie´s lore, I doe not forme them to the common line Of present dayes which are corrupted sore, But to the antique use which was of yore, When good was onely for it selfe desyred, And all men sought their own, and none no more; When Justice was not for moil meed outhyred, But simple Truth did rayne, and was of all admyred. IV. For that which all men then did Vertue call, Is now cal´d Vice; and that which Vice was hight, Is. now hight Vertue, and so us´d dof all: Right now is Wrong, and Wrong that was is Right; About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
